[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8188613, member: 110226"]Postal shipping has generally slowed down, domestically and internationally. I ordered some lotion for eczema that flairs up this time of the year for me. It was shipped by Priority Mail from Seattle early December and never showed up. I did get a refund from a great seller, though. Depending on how an item is shipped, going slower can become even slower. In the case of registered mail, which is the most secure way to ship, at least in theory, the combination of the logging and monitoring at each ponit of transit, coupled with other factors, such as bad weather, staffing shortages, covid and reduced flights, registered mail this year will generally take a long, long time to arrive. If you have a tracked first class letter or parcel coming, that should arrive faster than registered mail, but things there can go awry as well, as was the case of my "lost" shipment last year from Israel, which went tracked first class. The tracking just went off the radar, and the USPS declared it lost after I filed a missing mail request. However, it did return to the sender nearly a year later.[/QUOTE]
