I bought a print from an UK ebay seller last year. It got to the US
very quickly and then stopped. After 2+ months the seller felt that the
shipment had been lost and sent me another. I now have 2 prints - paid
for both. Last November I bought two HF1748 horn gaskets from Germany
off of ebay. Received them four months later. Both orders were
delivered by USPS. I recently bought some BA hardware from the UK and
got that within a week (airmail/UPS). Hopefully, shipping will return to
the pre-pandemic delivery times.
Cheers,
