Johnny Jones Posted April 23, 2020 Share 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 . Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted April 23, 2020 Share 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 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I didn't ask about going west.

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 Share 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soul-slider Posted May 7, 2020 Share 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.

Gazoor Posted May 7, 2020 Share 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..
