With respect, evonx has already explained why in his post. COVID has affected the entire world, including the postal systems of those countries, not just the UK. Given that evonx has explicitly stated HIS experience, as a resident of a country in continental Europe, of importing in from various different countries including the UK (not to mention he's one of the most bullshit-free posters on here), I'm inclined to believe him.

Covid hasn't helped
Niet tot do with it. All the world had/has covid problems. The only country having trouble getting goods and mail in and out is the UK , has more to do with Brexit than covid (and since my company imports from different countries both EU and elsewhere, I have to say I experience this every day with the UK, it's a disgrace)
I'm interested too - what specifically is being cited as the problem? So far, I've not experienced any issues sending stuff to Europe and luckily haven't experienced any covid disruption with local mail either.

I also believe it’s Brexit. I’m after Audi parts at the mo, and one site specifically stated it would not ship to the UK because of Brexit.
So … fuck’em.

Apart from business - personal stuff Ive sent the last few months took three weeks to arrive. Used to be three days
....even in covid 2020. Mojo magazine I get from the UK normally took a week now I get it when the new ones already out there.... It's a shambles.

favourite fortune cookie.....

never ask how laws and sausages are made.

the whole covid pandemic has skewered every countries postal systems rules.

patience is a virtue of mankind.

believe me,
having drawn the shortest straw on a few global deliveries this past 18 months.
eBay etc etc.
it is very frustrating.

after a few wanks and beers
( possibly not in that order )
i've settled myself.
:twisted:

anyways, came out on top this time.
UK deluxe package (no shirt)
911 weekend delayed delivery ??!!

japan version, very fast too.

https://www.dhl.com/us-en/home/tracking ... 4143559711

who knows the reasoning !
paid the higher postage option?
previous customer?
first come first serve?
deluxe order?
May the flies of 1000 camels nest in your armpits !

If you want SYMPATHY ?..........
You will find it in the dictionary between ` SHIT & SYPHILIS ' !
