Shipment from Europe to USA:Anyone Received Anything from Europe Since Covid19 Began?

I have a couple more orders coming from Russia that I am waiting for.  I ordered some razor handles from Home Like Shaving and another one from Stork Razors.  They have been released from Russia on April 29th and May 7.  Nothing since then.  Just being patient because I had 6 brushes that Srdjan sent to me from Australia on April 14th.  I just got those Thursday, June 11th.  That package took just under 2 months to get
to me so, yes, I have learned to have extreme patience when ordering product from overseas.

Let us know how how those shipments work out. I was thinking about picking up one of those Stork handles. I didn’t realize shipping was being so heavily affected.

I bought Flat Bottom Tech on ebay from a seller in Spain on April 12th. I received it on June 9th. The tracking information that I was provided never updated once it left Spain.

Why would it if you didn't use UPS, Fedex or DHL? The Spanish mail does not "interface" with the US Mail.  Two different systems in two different countries on two different continents. Most UK sites will tell you that once Royal Mail leaves their country...........................you're on your own.

Because I’ve had tracking info from several other countries, including the UK, that would show when scanned in the US. But thanks for your constructive reply.

Agreed. Most of the world's main postal services will share tracking information.
A Royal Mail tracked parcel, from here in the UK, will provide tracking to delivery for most countries on the RM website. To the US, for example, the USPS website will show full tracking from point of posting in the UK. Spain to UK and vice versa, both RM and Spanish Correos websites will update.

Yes, but they don't guarantee delivery on the part of the U.S. Postal Service here. The U.S. Postal service only guarantees overnight service that originates & delivers in country.

Bought an Astor back around April 14th, and had it sometime in early May. A bit longer than usual, but not bad considering.

My Razor Blades Club order arrived today, Sat June 26, from Germany. 1 month from the order date.  I think this is excellent, based on the Covid19 shipping disruptions worldwide.
Below are the dates for the package journey:
Ordered................................May 26
Postmarked...........................May 29
Departed Germany.................June 3
Arrived New York City ISC......June 18
Arrived Seattle.......................June 25
Delivered...............................June 26

It's a two way street, unfortunately. There are long delays also from the USA to the UK and EU.
I had an order shipped from LA on the 23rd April and it sat in the LA distribution centre for a full month. It then went to Chicago and on to the UK, rather than a direct route. I also believe that shipments from Maggard Razors to Europe via Chicago are taking as many weeks to arrive as they usually take number of days. Solely down to limited flights and capacity.

It's been a a guessing game for the reasons mentioned above.  We've sent four packages to the UK since this situation was recognized.  One took nine weeks, another five days, the third, sent three weeks ago, is now in Japan, and the fourth went out this morning.  Of two sent from the UK, one took three weeks, the other...who knows?  Hopefully, it'll show up.  Hang in, Gentlemen.

Yep, total crapshoot. A small Connaught order, shipped May 27 didn't get to me until June 24. Another small order, shipped May 29 was delivered June 9. hrug:

I have a watch from Germany I ordered Sunday, and would have been delivered yesterday, if I would have been home. Being away for work, and knowing I wasn’t going to be back until today, I held delivery. Feed Ex will bring it on Monday.

I’ve sent a few packages from France to the US in the last 3 months. Fortunately all has arrived safely.
Shipping with Colissimo is equivalent to USPS Priority and requires signature for delivery.
Usually it takes between 5 to 15 days.

1-Comissimo- Departure from France on 03/14 and it was delivered on 03/23 in WA.
2-Colissimo-Departure from France on April, 30th and was released from the customs in NYC on 05/18 according to USPS tracking. It reached the buyer on 05/19 who lives in MA
3-Colissimo-Departure from France on 05/25 and was delivered on 06/09 in SC.
4-Another one is a padded envelope I’ve sent on 05/05 and it was delivered on 06/02. Usually it takes 1 or 2 weeks

I’ve also sent a package from France to UK on 05/12 and it was delivered on 05/15, the fastest delivery I’ve ever seen with UK.
