Are shipments taking extra long nowadays?

[Dran]

Ironically, I'm waiting on a shipment of NCs from one of those vendors..... All the CC shipments have flown through no problem. Order some NCs and customs seems very interested in what's in the box as they've been holding onto it since July 4th.

I only have pics of the Winstons, as I thought the Partagas wasn’t that bad. But the fact that it was in all 4 boxes with different date codes...

Definitely plume!

yea, certainly worth a phone call or email with these pics. I would imagine you could wipe them off and they'll be alright but why would you want to start with 3 boxes this bad?

Especially Sir Winstons. At that price, I'd like them to be close to perfect.

Yea. Sucks.

I've got one that's been sitting in Brisbane for a week now. Hopefully it starts moving again sometime soon. If not, oh well, I'm sure they'll arrive eventually.

Looks like domestic mail is the issue - I’ve seen similar, I blame rioters

Ordered from Ravi Oct 5, received Oct. 22...ironically, on my birthday!

Not sure I ever got anything that quick pre-Covid...

Made my first ever order. Swiss vendor. Says "Completion of customs clearance process" but has been stuck there for 8 days. Does "Completion of customs clearance process" indicate it has succesfully made it through customs and has been released?

 

[LFOD]

Man this place is dead lately. Anyway to answer my own question yep it must have meant it was released because I got the shipment.

@LFOD

I didn't respond because I have make orders that where cleared by customs but never arrived. Apparently "lost along the way" so saying it was cleared is no guarantee you'll get it. Most of the people I order from now do not provide tracking so orders arrive when they arrive. I guess they figure the smaller the paper trail is better.

Congrats on your first order.

It's not just international shipments.

I sent a MFR via USPS Priority from NorCal to New Orleans, it took almost 2 weeks. I was sweating that package, considering it's contents (just some pricier smokes).

This post would have been so much better if you’d just left us wondering instead of clarifying the contents of the package

This is the specifics of the work of all logistics companies. First, they deliver goods to the nearest or priority countries and states, and then they make delivery on the way back if the route lies through those countries where you also need to pick up the cargo. I also did not know about speedpak tracking until I saw how it works from the inside. I loved seeing how the dispatcher built the route - first airmail delivered the big shipments and then spread everything out in bulk to the countries where the most orders were. And only then on the way back would it pick up the cargo along the way, dropping off small parcels to the addressees.

Damn, I thought 5 days from a neighboring country was slow...(EU based)

 

[FlightMedic]

Last shipment from Switzerland was delivered in about 10 days. Seems that Oz and China are taking the longest here lately.

It's a solid month right now for me
