I sent a package to USA (from Croatia), that hasn't arrived after two weeks (17 days, to be exact). It usually takes 7-10 days....

I am expecting another package from UK that was sent on Nov. 3 (almost 20 days ago), which also hasn't arrived yet. 🙁

A friend got a small ebay purchase from Hong Kong after 2 months waiting!

My small item ebay purchase (also from China) has not arrived after a month...

And I hear from friends that their shipments (mostly ebay purchases from abroad) are also taking much longer than usual.

Anyone else noticed any shipping delays lately? Or is it just my bad luck? 🙁
 
Shipments from Hong Kong are increasingly unreliable - I've been waiting for two months for a flash adapter to arrive. I suspect political motions behind it, European mail order companies had been lobbying for the Chinese competition (which they considered to be unfair as they had lower shipping rates out of Hong Kong than they had within Europe) to be suppressed, and I suppose the EU postal offices have obeyed by adding dramatic delays or losing a few containers.
 
November and December is a crazy months, post works really slow. I'm waiting my tea from china for 4 weeks for now (usually receiving in 2 weeks). Express mail from US takes 1 month (usually 10-14 days).
 
Thanks, everyone.

I still don't know what to think - but mine are obviously not just isolated cases or my bad luck...
 
I'm really getting worried with my package too. I sold my m6 over RFF and it was supposed to be delivered between 2-9 days. It's been 9 days today and I've yet to get a tracking update. I understand it's difficult for the post and customs but damn I'm getting worried here! At least I insured it for it's total value...
 
I had a small package from the UK take THREE MONTHS to arrive last year. Around this time of year though I suspect all of the holiday mail is probably causing delays.
 
Well the new gun laws are really Not going to help. We had an assault weapon ban before. All it does is stop the sale of NEW weapons and large clips. Private sales are another thing. Since the biggest part of the weapons are not registered people will still buy and sale. This will only drive the price of a used ones up.
Some of our major cities NY ect already have guns laws and their murder rates are still some of the highest in the country. In my area the city of Kennesaw passed a law requiring you own a weapon, firearm.. This is completely legal.
