RE: [neonixie-l] Re: OT: US Customs Service - Delays
Shipping is indeed sporadic. I just received a shipment of tubes from Russia that took 2 ½ weeks from shipment to arrival at my door. The package had a lot of stamps on it (about 20). I was expecting a much longer wait. These entered through New York customs direct to Minneapolis. Sometimes I see long delays (many weeks!) when things enter in Chicago. This was not bad for an eBay purchase! Here is what the tracking looked like: DELIVERED May-11-16, 14:14 PM, EDEN PRAIRIE, MN 55344 ARRIVAL AT UNIT May-10-16, 04:26 AM, EDEN PRAIRIE, MN 55344 DEPART USPS FACILITY May-10-16, 01:57 AM, MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55401 DEPART USPS FACILITY May-10-16, 01:36 AM, MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55401 PROCESSED THROUGH USPS FACILITY May-09-16, 17:53 PM, MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55401 PROCESSED THROUGH USPS FACILITY May-07-16, 16:31 PM, WHITE PLAINS, NY 10610 Processed Through Facility May-04-16, 05:24 AM, ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) Processed Through Facility May-01-16, 06:58 AM Origin Post is Preparing Shipment Apr-26-16, 06:58 AM Jeff From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of A.J.

[neonixie-l] Re: OT: US Customs Service - Delays
So, I am having the same problem. In fact I am awaiting the arrival of a package right now... I sent a small package, with a small item for modification inside, to Alberta Canada on the 22nd of April and arrived at its destination on the 24th. It was sent back to me on the 26th and arrived in Chicago Il. on the 28th at something called the ISC, Chicago, and promptly stalled there. It finally popped lose this morning and is headed to Michigan as we speak, hopefully. I have no idea what it was doing in Chicago (Perhaps a side visit to the Museum of Science and Industry??) but I discovered that ISC stands for "International service center" and it has a nick name of "The Black Hole of Calcutta" as packages seem to go in but not always come back out -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
