International deliveries running slow?

laurentyvan

I've had much more than my normal share of complaints due to international shipping times lately.

Has anyone else experienced this?

On the 24th of October I had a particularly large and expensive number of shipments go out to a variety of countries. One, a registered piece to Chile, has still not arrived after a month! Others have been crawling to their destinations and arriving but very late. What happened on the 24th? Most complaints about any items taking a long time with that shipment date ever!

PO says blame customs, seasonal rush, registered mail times, etc. I'm at my wits end at this point...

Has anyone raised a particularly efficient stork who would be willing to deliver coins as opposed to babies?

Speaking of that, did you get my PM?

Well...I have a coin coming to me.....from a forum member here.....tracking shows it was accepted at his post office on 23 October 2007. Still has not arrived to me....and am worried.

He is in Canada.

I am in USA.

Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

Yeah, I've got a couple in limbo from that time frame also. Good luck to us all.

I am getting them pretty fast from UK.

Certain packages have a charm
that protects them from harm,
and these are normally inexpensive.

It's the items I pay to insure
whose delivery I wish to assure
that leave me most apprehensive.

Only Hong Kong has been running slow for me. All else has been generally a business week or less.

Edit to clarify: That's all inbound traffic for me, though.

Got a package from Japan today. It was mailed about 250 miles from Tokyo on Tuesday.
