This seems WAY too long for a package just to the UK to arrive. It's first class, does that have something to do with it? :huh:
-
When exactly did you ship it? I usually estimate four weeks for international shipping, so if it was the end of March, I wouldn't worry yet.
-
Well, with air mail it usually takes like 1 week to arrive to Finland, I doubt it would take any longer to UK.. If its not airmail, then its normal to take more than a month.
-
It can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks from my experience. I probably would not worry just yet. I know, easier said than done.
-
And it could take longer then that. Like others have sent it first class just be prepared for w wait if necessary. When did you ship it off in March?
-
First class can take even several months. I've heard of things getting lost for four months, sometimes even more...
-
dont worry just yet :hug: . I'm in the Uk and I'm waiting for a package shipped in March too and it still hasnt arrived. I dont think we're the only ones whos packages have been delayed either. Its frustrating isnt it? :( While 2-3 weeks is common it can take 4 weeks or more sometimes
-
A few years ago I have waited 6 weeks for my package from UK to Germany with my Mountain Boys...
-
Yeah I wouldnt worry too much...you're seriously not alone...
Im waiting on 3 international orders, 2 from Canada and 1 from the US.
The first Canadian one was sent March 8th...still has yet to make an appearance! The other one was the 14th. However, both these were not sent recorded/tracked or express or anything like that. One member told me it can take 3 months to get to me :(
The final one from the US was sent 1st class international on 19th....again no sign. The last US order took just 2 weeks to get here! So I dont know whats going on!
Im a bit worried that one is deffinitely now over the 45 day limit :( I paid quite a lot for all three too! :cry:
Hope you have better luck than me! :satisfied:

Don't worry, this can happen. It happened to me at least twice. Both times it looks like the package was sitting in the US customs for an X amount of time for... well, I guess reasons. Once, I waited for a package for two months, was ready to complain to the seller and then boom. it came in the mail the same day.
So yes, it happens. International mail seems to be really irregular, sometimes it's super quick, like one week and then sometimes months.

My parcel dated March 8th arrived Friday. Im still waiting on the other Canadian one dated the 14th and the US first class (I cant tell since its taking forever) sent on the 19th of March
But its given me hope the others wont be too far behind maybe another couple of weeks or something!

How much was the parcel worth? UK customs just looooooove to delay imported packages if they're eligible for charging (over $22 including the cost of shipping).
