Title: Best and worst time to ship international orders.
Post by: energyimport on January 02, 2013, 01:01 am
Have you guys noticed if there is any pattern in the best and worst time to ship packages.

My experience is that obviously the weeks before Christmas are good time to ship ( take a little longer but due to heavy volume almost everything gets through) and also around spring time going into summer/memorial day time.

but then after new years it seems that customs steps up inspection for a while and I have a hard time getting packages through.

Any one else experience this or maybe something different?

Most everything I get comes through NYC and once through Chicago.

I agree.  In my experiences, it always seemed that Feb, March, and April are difficult months to get packs through.
