Its everywhere right now. The US 2-5 day delivery in the US is about 35% on time delivery right now if you use USPS. Some are a day late, some are a month. USPS is not even working package locate requests. UPS and Fedex are much better, but still seeing minor delays. The cost difference for the under 2 lb just makes it too costly to use them for every package.
Stuff to Japan I am seeing 3-4 weeks. UK was around 3 weeks and these were normally 6-10 day service. In general I am not shipping overseas anymore. I will still fill large orders on request, but the day to day 1 tube just isnt worth it. I ended up refunding a good majority and the tubes always get delivered. Lost mail just doesn't happen. I have had maybe 3 completely disappear and never scan delivered in 20 years. Unfortunately what we are seeing is the midtier and low end INTL market is going to be completely localized to their country of origin. I used to buy tons of stuff from the UK, but I cannot justify paying $10 for a poster and $30-$50 for shipping. Obviously high end stuff this isnt going to impact as the shipping rate then becomes less comparable to the price being paid for the item. Its unfortunate. Its like there is a global collusion to kill international commerce. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Kennedy" <a...@artofthemovies.co.uk> To: "MoPo-L" <MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU> Sent: Tuesday, March 9, 2021 10:21:15 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Thank you, Great Britain! It’s the same from the UK in to Europe. An absolute nightmare. I didn’t vote for Brexit (I voted against), but once it was going to happen, it was down to both sides to sort out something workable. Looks like neither side was capable of doing that. Regards, Adam.

I sent a package to the Ukraine in November, paid for International express, was suppose to be delivered in 3 days. It made it to London and now no one has any update on it. Unfortunately, it didn't make it in time for a Christmas gift. I just sent a package to Switzerland and it showed up a week after it's stated delivery date (thank goodness, though, it did arrive). It's now a situation where when I get an order going to Europe, I cross my fingers and worry until it gets there.

If any MoPo members from the UK voted for the Brexit: A WARM-HEARTED thank you from Berlin! What a darn mess you got us all in. Not only has shipping to the UK become a ridiculous nightmare: UPS Express used to deliver the next day, when Corona hit, they took an extra day, thanks to the Brexit, my last package took 12 days for delivery, owed to 'Brexit delays'. And it's safe to assume that we have not seen the of this downward spiral for a long time. Even worse: That Brexit sh*t is now affecting my DHL Express imports from the US. The normal runtime from the US to Germany used to be two days, and more often than not, my packages would clear customs before they even landed in Germany. I have a shipment sitting at Leipzig Airport right now, and I just learne, that DHL currently takes two to six weeks to file a customs import declaration, thanks to the Brexit. Like everybody else, DHL has been hit by the pandemic, but they could manage that quite well. Now, they are wasting countless hours with filing tons and tons of apparently highly complicated import declarations for packages from the UK.
