Hi Mike<br clear="none">
After reading your piece, I'm felt with the impression that you have
not purchased a great need abroad in the past five or six years.
Shipping to North 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 of inspection outgoing and incoming can
vary from two to six depending upon the mail service, the transport
service and customs. Open your favourite scotch, add several ice
cubes to the glass, put your feet up and relax.<br clear="none">

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 freight was going by passenger
flights, so no flights, no freight. Then there is the issue
of social distancing in workplaces which has slowed down
customs clearances. The world as it is….</span></p>

<p class="yiv8388985400MsoNormal">If some of you remember I was on the
list asking about original type and after market type
tappets for my BN2 engine build. I finally decided to buy
the modified tappet that Denis Welch sells. (cost with
shipping $110) These are the same after market types that
the usual suspects sell, but Welch machines a flat groove
on two sides to aid oil drainage back to the pan. With
shipping by Royal Mail (the cheapest) I bought them on May
5th. They are still in transit with no scheduled delivery
date according to the United States Post Office. For some
odd reason they sat at the airport in the UK for almost a
week before departing for the States. Once here (Miami,
FL) they sat there for several more days before entering
the USPS system. I purposely avoided the alternative
offered by DW (UPS). I have been hearing from several
sources UPS is having problems and to avoid them. Maybe I
should have sprung for the UPS charges, even though they
were substantially more. Not sure who is at fault here;
me, Welch or the Royal Mail. Just a note of caution if
you are thinking of buying anything from a UK supplier
through the Royal Mail.</p>
