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