Hi SR users!!
Since 3-4 weeks I made the experience, that post-pieces need double time (and more) to reach their destination.
Before that, it used to need about 3-5 days inside EU (mostly 3days) to reach the goal. Now I got a letter from NL that arrived after 15 days!! to middle EU!? Also every single piece came through until this change - now I miss already 3 orders!
I fear, that the posties and/or customs got now more aware of these pages (SR, BMR,...) and will search more intensive to catch some of these items. (1 week ago report on euronews,... about SR)
I think, now they collect a big amount of post-pieces in distributor-centers (Verteilerzentrum etc.), so that maybe some smell get through, and then the dog will do his work.
Maybe "they" found several pieces and were surprised, how much is coming on the postal way?
And so they will intense their work to find as much as they can!
I read a thread of a swedish guy who made the same experience in sweden (since easter)!
I feel very uncomfortable to order again until this delay is cleared.
Did anybody made similar experience?
Everybody who feels same should answer to this thread, so maybe we find out a system behind... I still hope it´s just a paranoia, but the delay (and 3 missing orders) is a fact!
Thanks to all!!

Hello, I also think this, orders from EU used to take maximum 3 days to get to me, be from SR or any other place, now they're taking like 5-6 days. But they don't smell it inside the EU man, just in customs. In my country for example I think it is because of the austerity, I know a few mail men personally and they're saying they're cutting on lots of things, they're even going to put some of them in bicycles instead of mopeds and shit.

From a Vendor perspective we can agree..since about 3 weeks we have "a few" more letters missing inside EU and most are taking longer, but arrive eventually...
The above stated reasons are valid also summer is getting very hot now and Germany and a few other counties had record flooding...

We counter with using more frequent new layouts and keeping tabs on internal statistics...
Cheers!
