Johnny Jones Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Had a record delivered from the U.S. this week that only took 9 days from me ordering it. Still haven't got me box full that I ordered at the beginning of March though .
Benji Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Bought a few records from the US end of march. before I paid for them I asked seller if shipping to Germany is ok. They said yes. Paid immediately. Couple of days ago I asked for a tracking ID. They told me they haven't send it yet because their local PO said it's too risky to send abroad. Now I have to sit and wait.....
Johnny Northern Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 On 22/04/2020 at 08:52, Bazm said: Records arrived from Carolina Soul yesterday that had been thru Miami and another that came via Los Angeles. Still waiting on a record that's been in Chicago mail hub since March 22nd, according to tracking update on that date is 'In Transit', with a Covid notice on it, so it looks like generally stuff getting thru albeit much slower and dependent on the route. Mine stuck in Chicago too, not been there as long as yours, mines been there since 2nd April. Bazm keep me updated please cos mine might move shortly after yours.
Amsterdam Russ Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 I'm still waiting on a package of umpteen 45s that were posted to me by Colemine on 18 March. The last entry in the tracking information is "In transit to next facility" - that was 23 March. Where is it stuck? Chicago.
Headsy Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Just bought myself Only delay is getting to the post office Seller states no issues
Stanley Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 i,m waiting for a massive tune being delivered ,its stuck in los angeles from 28th march .,but there is no planes leaving LA at the moment so just a waiting game .

I know times are not normal but freight is still moving and 20 days does seem excessive. Like you say hopefully they will be with us soon. Edited April 29, 2020 by Chalky
Stanley Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 alert update .usps are no longer accepting international packages for delivery,which is completely understandable .its a wait and see.

Is this new, ie today? This was updated yesterday. I mailed a piece from NYC to UK on monday lunchtime, and the guy said there were restriction in place but not to UK or Europe. I didn't ask about going west. It's at JFK as of now.https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/welcome.htm?_gl=1*galdek*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE1ODc4Mzk4NjguQ2owS0NRand1TXJYQlJDX0FSSXNBTFdacklqRkJJcnA3WEw0elpoVkpmZHNNN1E0R1drU0lzQ2xMaVoyMERPNmtrNGZrR3ZlY0NjR0FOY2FBcDlKRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_dc*R0NMLjE1ODM4NjY0MTUuQ2owS0NRanc5Wnp6QlJDS0FSSXNBTndYYWVJVG01ZFpFcEg3ZWFEOTRUY1JaVkQ2S3h1dEh3SkF1VENhQ1BwcEZmcmZsbWhMeVdwU0xZTWFBdHpMRUFMd193Y0I.

One of the biggest airports in the U.S. (O'Hare) probably doesn't have many international flights leaving and the mail is just sitting there.
Davlee Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 Just had notification the record shipped 4 weeks ago has arrived in UK. It went through Chicago. Probably true that number of flights are fewer so space is being taken up by commercial freight.

Douglaschip Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Waiting for one from Funkyou that seems to have been stuck in St Louis since 30th March. Adam

Soul-slider Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 I'm in the UK, I have a 45 coming from the USA. Last I heard it was in Chicago INT Distribution Center, that was on the 31st March. I just kept getting updates saying it's 'In transit to next facility'. All of a sudden updates stopped. 4 days ago I re-submitted the 'get updates' form and now getting updates again, yesterday it was in Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. Today I got this message: May 6, 2020 at 4:02 pm Departed FORT WORTH, UNITED STATES Is this a good sign? 1
Stanley Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 to be honest , i,m in a similar situation except mine is still in chicago first LA on 28th march. then on to chicago 28th april and in transit to next facility...because there are reduced flights ,i think they are sending packages to the most likely to leave the states for the uk.must be honest its strange times at the moment.don,t panic 1
Mr Smithy Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Anyone have any recent info on US to Australia ? I've got a few ready to go to.
Douglaschip Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Mine arrived yesterday having been in St Louis for over a month!! All safe and sound - but still got another one from New York that is over 5 weeks from ordering.
Philb Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Mines in London so shouldn’t be too long now, fingers crossed.

Hopefully it will get out of the country It won't move from Chicago for a couple of weeks.They were slow even before Covid.
Ncfc Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Read all US Forces mail goes through Chicago also.Very busy place.
Davlee Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Seller has been kind enough to provide full refund..what a gentlemen.
Gazoor Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Think we're all in the same boat. Got stuff thats been at Chicago for weeks, not seemed to be moving and the same for stuff at LA; other tunes have arrived in pretty good time from different parts of the US.. especially ones not tracked!! Anyhow I had one going out from here and according to the tracking no. it had arrived at Langley and hadn't moved for while. I asked the guy as it had arrived in the US could he, in Canada, get any more info. than I can on it's whereabouts (- yes I know its a different Country but they're closer than us and it was taking an age) . ... turns out Langley is Heathrows sorting Centre.. so it had been sat here in the UK for weeks not in the US..
givemesoul Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Posted a package from the uk to south carolina on 2nd of april got there yesterday just over a month but it got there so its all still working so must be massive backlogs everywhere 1
Stanley Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 yes .the problems appear to be in the states with the lack of flights coming over .but its good to know everthing is functioning ,albiet slowly.
Stanley Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 quick update .things are moving and my package is in the uk now being processed.so from 26th march in LA its gone to chicago and now finally in the uk from this morning .so hang in guys .

Don't think I ever had a 'signed for' parcel from the US delivered as fast as this time.
Kempy Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Record arrived today after being stuck in Miami since April 3rd

Kempy Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Hi Guys, Tracking showed the 45 was stuck in Miami for around 4 weeks.Asked for updates from USPS about a week ago,eventually got an update showing item had passed thru Miami and then regular updates showing progress to London and beyond-happy days it arrived in one piece ! 1
Philb Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Showing as processed through facility, London, wonder if there’s a customs charge on this one?

Joesoul1958 Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I had a record sent via USPS Priority Mail International on 21st April from Arkansas, and the record took a detour, it arrived at London Heathrow on 2nd May, and then arrived in Frankfurt Germany 4th May ?, arrived back here in the U.K on 10th May and it finally on its way here now hopefully, it’s currently been processed through parcel force in Coventry and on its way to me now, hopefully, can anyone explain why it went from Heathrow to Frankfurt ?, I find that very strange.
Chalky Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Mine is still in transit from Chicago somewhere, posted 6th April.
Ladymidnight Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Got one apparently sitting in Chicago since March 3rd, no updates since.
