Shipping During the Covid-19 Situation.

i will keep track and keep this thread updated.

Currently as per UPS: Parcel shipped Monday 11th May; Scheduled delivery Thursday 28th May

i feel that a lot of the fulfillment of parcels currently shipped boils down to local provider restrictions (ie. the ability to cope with influx of parcels needed to be delivered) so, it may be quick for the package to travel the globe but once it is in the specific countries, local/ 3rd party (depending on arrangement) postal services might not be able to cope with the high demand they are currently facing.

for reference, australia post has stated they can no longer guarantee shipping times for express parcels, both domestic and international.

all parcels from UK to me in the past usually takes it from the UK -> Germany -> China (sometimes) -> Singapore then onwards to Perth, Australia.

However, this time it is rerouted west through Louisville, KY USA. I think that this is because some parcel hubs might be closed or overwhelmed during this current time. it has never done that before so this route is something new to me.

Parcel is already in Australia, over east in Sydney. Saw this on UPS page, so i'll just sit back and patiently wait.

just in case any of you are ordering from WA or TAS

All You can do is sit and wait.. In the end it will come

Just to mention about shipping and different services, I have a package coming via Japan's EMS, posted on April 16th.  This is usually a two or three day matter to New York.  It's still in Tokyo.  Shipping could be four months they are telling me.  If you have something coming from Japan be sure to ask for another method of shipping other than EMS at the moment.

Parcels under UPS for Australia gets consigned to the local postal service (Startrack) depending on where you live as i just found out properly after calling when i couldn't see a delivery date on the tracking website.

Updated delivery was meant to be today, Friday 22nd May but due to overwhelming workload might get pushed back to Saturday or early next week

Looking forward to receive this.

Are your deliveries working? It's just that during the pandemic, many stores closed and closed any delivery routes. Now mostly food delivery works. Many clothing stores also of course provide delivery, but on the condition that the item is not subject to return. This is terrible. I once ordered a skirt, and it was too small for me, I couldn't return it to the store. Right now, most of my money is spent on buying N95 masks, antiseptics, and silicone gloves. I believe that at the moment these are essential things. I order N95 masks on Pandemic Pal every month.

Thanks Ann. She gone already. Just forgot to delete the post. I’ve zapped three of these in the last week, but I’ll leave this here so @Giles can see it.

@neph93 I had done a report to moderator on that post.  What works best for you guys, personal tag or the report function?

Thanks D. Tag or PM will get seen first. The reports only show up on the desktop version, not Tapatalk, and the notification system for them is very 1998 [emoji38]

I honestly can't believe people take the time to formulate a reply to or respond to spam stuff. 

I see it all the time on Facebook and it's honestly quite a laugh.
