    Medium sized box sent from California via USPS to London took 14 days to arrive. 11 of those days were within the US.

    Shipping of a midsize box from the Netherlands to US Chicago area took 6 weeks. It was in the Netherlands for a couple weeks before there was a flight to the US and then it was in customs US for a couple weeks without movement. But then again, it did get there, so a long wait, but no real issues.

    I'm probably late to this thread but as an update I can tell you that for the first time we've had two packages to the UK go completely missing. No other real problems, though. Fingers are crossed.

    Fed Ex ground just lost a package of emissions hose connectors that I had bought here on the forum. Denied losing them for a week. COVID related ? I doubt it. Just crap service on par with DHL. Why is Fed Ex Express so much better than Fed Ex Ground?
