Japan post are quite up front. There simply aren’t the same number of flights, so economy packages are not being handled any more. At first (and this is what happened to my package), they were just stored. Then they started returning packages to the sender. Then they just stopped accepting them.
China is a different issue. Economy packages are making it to the destination, but the destinations are short-handed because of lock downs and no-shows. So again, economy packages will sit around for a long time. I have recent experience of this. My DHL packages from China arrived in days. My super-cheapo packages have been sitting in our customs. So from other countries, you could get any combination of these things happening. > On May 17, 2020, at 12:05 AM, Jeff Walton <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Expect long term disruption.
