    Is it only me or is stuff taking ages to be sent from China and Hong Kong lately? Are Customs deliberately delaying deliveries to put off people buying from outside the EU? Perhaps I'm just being paranoid...

    Had a few items delivered from that area recently, seemed about usual 10-14 days to get here. And a couple of no-shows too, but the sellers, decently, refunded me.

    yep, actually some of the guys on the cycling forum were complaining shipping from germany is taking longer , maybe with the recession theres less stuff moving and couriers are having less shipments?

    its just taken 2 days for a parcel of mine to get from dhl in cologne to dhl in dublin

    I bet customs have a big part to play in this (delaying delivery)

    I had a very similar experience, although my items could take up to 3 weeks to arrive. Those which didn't arrive (approximately half) were immediately refunded, with really good communication from the seller
