    <font size="-1"><font face="Courier 10 Pitch">I have to cut the USPS
        some slack due to the pandemic.  I had priority mail boxes sit
        for a week at distribution centers.  But incoming international
        packages has been much worse.  An envelope from Germany sat in
        NYC for three months.  A print in a cardboard tube from the UK
        sat in Chicago for four months.  On the other hand, I recently
        bought a copy of Donald Healey's 8C Triumph Dolomite book from
        the UK - three weeks.  Over the weekend, I bought a copy of
        Herve Chevalier's latest Healey book on the AH 100.  Will see
        how long that takes.</font></font><br>

                        <div>I bought a used part from someone in the US
                          only to have the package "returned to sender"
                          for no apparent reason!  Evidently US Customs
                          is the culprit.  I have copies of the shipping
                          label here and it has no fewer than four
                          official-looking stamps on it after it was
                          accepted for mailing!    Beware, this could
                          happen to you!  Interestingly. I have mailed
                          stuff from here in Canada to the US without
                          ever having had a problem.<br>
