I had a record sent via USPS Priority Mail International on 21st April from Arkansas, and the record took a detour, it arrived at London Heathrow on 2nd May, and then arrived in Frankfurt Germany 4th May ?,  arrived back here in the U.K on 10th May and it finally on its way here now hopefully, it’s currently been processed through parcel force in Coventry and on its way to me now, hopefully, can anyone explain why it went from Heathrow to Frankfurt ?, I find that very strange.

Common in normal times, I am sorry to say, items get put in wrong sack and often travel round the world

Ironically it's up to the postal service that received it by mistake to "hopefully" re-direct it, so breath a sigh of relief

Jus arrived, phew.

I started this topic because of the record I'm waiting for. Reading past comments there seems to be a big problem in Chicago, has anyone had anything through there recently. Mine appears to be stuck stuck there. Posted 26th March the day after I purchased it, disappeared 2nd April.

Got one in Chicago since 21st April. Also got one that cleared customs in the UK on 4th May. Not arrived yet!

Are things generally bottled up in London too?
4 days from my house to London, then nothing.

Same here waiting for few bits from Recordsbymail think you've just gotta be patient. 

[Julianb 982]

Patience is a virtue but not where vinyl is concerned!

[Johnny Northern 155]

I got one from New Jersey Friday, it took 10 days, I think that is fast. I still have no news of the one stuck in Chicago since 2nd April. Beginning to think I will never see it.

 

[Julianb 982]

One arrived yesterday. It had been in the UK since the 4th May. Another still in Chicago since 21st April

Fingers crossed

I have 4 or 5 I'm currently waiting on.. 5 weeks is the longest outstanding thus far - but reading through these posts I'm not unduly concerned at this time, and certain they will all arrive in good time

I’ve had two come from the states recently. Both normal mail , one took 8 days and came via Germany . The other took 12 days
