What lockdown delays?...

Ordered PCBs from PcbWay on Tuesday. Delivered to my door today (yes,
Sunday) by DHL.

On other hand, I\'m still waiting for FedEx to deliver a package that\'s
been in Sydney since a week ago Thursday last.

I finally got that FexEx delivery today.

WHAT?? On a Week-end?? Are you \"Special\" or something, Sylvia??

No, weekend deliveries have been going on for a while, as the various
companied try to handle (and presumably profit from) the increased demand.

Have you been using their web-tracker site?? (So they have one??) If
they had left a note there that might have saved some grief!

Yes. Their tracker just said it was subject to a delay beyond their
control, which could mean anything, or be nothing more than an excuse
for tardiness.

Also I\'ve been waiting 26 days for a parcel from the US sent by
USPS, \"10 business days\" is the estimated delivery time. The latest
update is that it arrived in Sydney on the 12th. But I\'m not
surprised, the last one took 56 days. It actually arrived in Sydney
the _first_ time after only 24 days, but then the tracking showed
it went back to Chicago a couple of days later, bounced around the
US again for half a month, then suddenly appeared in Tokyo, but
went from there to Sydney in a day, and from Sydney to Melbourne
the next day, and then got to me nine days after that. USPS seem to
be about as unreliable at their end as Aus Post are at this end, so
you get the worst of both worlds.
Gee Whiz!! And here we are all sick to death of being locked down!! I
guess your package just wanted to get out and about a bit!! ;-P

for fourteen days?? ;-P
