Current Mail / Postage situation due to Covid-19

[absurdexposition]

Still waiting on a package from Sweden shipped March 24th. Tracking says it hasn't reached Canada yet.

Otherwise, things seem to be showing up alright. US to Canada has improved significantly.

[holy ghost]

Package from Total Black from Germany to Canada arrived in 8 days. Outstanding!!

Deliveris from/to Italy from most countries is ok. The problem is that offices in most towns are reduced time
This means it may take 2/3 hours to enter the office.
I resumed mail order and go once a week but a couple of times office closed while I was waiting.

Took just over a week for a package from France to Canada. Last one arrived in 3-4 days. The French / Canadian connection seems to be the most efficient of all at the moment.

not related to C-19, but still a little sobering for USPS.  *posted elsewhere, but I thought it was interesting about our mail service.

The record which was shipped 27th March from the US. Arrived to Finland and I got it from my local post office yesterday (7th July). Some corner bend, but overall in very good shape (keeping it mind it was probably shipped with a cargo ship and was at sea for a month). Will listen the record on weekend, but probably it will be fine.

Edit: Also sold some stuff to US and shipped them at the end of May and now they have arrived.

Package received this morning that was shipped April 24th. Sweden to Canada. Now all that remains from my much-delayed packages is another from Sweden, shipped at the end of March...

Haven't found packages from the UK to be taking really any longer than anywhere else this whole time, and orders have been ultra-busy since lockdown. Fuck going to the Post Office though and dealing with the queues of zombies, online postage all the way.

Sweden -> Canada: 70 days (and opened by customs - still waiting on the one shipped a month prior)
Germany -> Canada: 6 days.
LA, USA -> Canada: 37 days (meanwhile last LA -> Canada package only took 9 days)

Recently received a couple of packages from the States (to Belgium) - ranging between 2 and 3 months of delivery.
Every package also came with a nice hefty customs fine as a surprise.

Netherlands - USA is still ultra-slow. To/from most other countries things seem to work as before.

Just after i typed the above a record mailed on the 25th of march in the USA arrived. Longest it ever took for a record I bought. Luckely in great condition.

Netherlands - USA is still ultra-slow. To/from most other countries things seem to work as before.

My Package, sent on 4/24 has been sitting in US customs since June 9th and even says "cleared and forwarded to addressee" Kind of starting to doubt I'll ever get it.

I posted a zine to the Philippines on Feb 24th and it was received today! So glad it finally made it

Germany -> Canada: 5 days, including a weekend. Incredible.

Finland -> Canada: 53 days and warped LPs.
