Hi, Been out of the loop with overseas buying since Covid. Is Europe taking extra long? For me in the past about 7-16 days England/Europe to be in my hands. Now sometimes I have experienced delays for customs ect. I have a package sitting for 9 days in customs in Chicago. Been about 20 days since mailed. New Normal?

oh yes! Covid delays.
I ordered a couple of books from Japan on Feb 25. They arrived on Saturday. Delays are going to be bad for a long while. I have another parcel sitting in customs since June 20. For parts of my hobby I have to order overseas, so I've just had to accept this new shopping expectation.I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.
If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand. -
I've been waiting on a package from Thailand since mid March.
U.S.-side tracking paused at "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment", Thailand-side tracking says it's been on the boat since the beginning of May.
Hell, I don't think I've had a single domestic package get to me in less than 7 days.
Unfortunately, I'm thinking it's the new normal.Comment

I bought a bunch of stuff from Entertainment Earth on May 23, on the 24th, it went to LAX. On June 23rd, I got a notice it was getting on a plane (I had largely assumed it was stolen), on July 3rd, I got it. A day later I got a second item I ordered on June 5th. Things are messed up right now.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

I've had bits coming from all over the planet during the shutdown with varied results… amazingly, somehow anything from China gets here incredibly fast, faster than domestic priority. Japan, Southeast Asia, and Europe have all been slow. Mexico is just always slow.
Prices are up across the globe too and from what Ive read, staying higher and going higher.Comment

Definitely not just you.
I ordered a CD from Sweden in April and it took a month and a half to get to Canada. I think things are getting a bit better, I ordered an album from Poland last month and it only took slightly more than a week to get to me. I think it depends on the countries involved too (and their postal system). I know some folks that ordered stuff from Japan and experienced very long delays.Comment
