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 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=E2=80=A6.
Cheers

=20
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.
