  Hi Mike
 After reading your piece, I'm felt with the impression that you have not p=
urchased a great need abroad in the past five or six years. Shipping to Nor=
th America is slow even before COVID 19, the usual wait time for an item is=
 three weeks whether it is an engine part or a tool. The number of layers o=
f inspection outgoing and incoming can vary from two to six depending upon =
the mail service, the transport service and customs. Open your favourite sc=
otch, add several ice cubes to the glass, put your feet up and relax.
 Cheers
 Ed

Hi Mike, this is pretty much normal for international freight at the moment=
 weather for private or for business. You have to remember that a lot of fr=
eight was going by passenger flights, so no flights, no freight. Then there=
 is the issue of social distancing in workplaces which has slowed down cust=
oms clearances. The world as it is=E2=80=A6.
