I appreciate everyone who is waiting for his parcel for a long time.
Unfortunately, more information I get about this situation, I get less sure that it will end well.
From the beginning of this year, the contract between Russianpost and air cargo company has ended and most international dispatches were supposed to fly in passenger airplanes. It worked well when countries had open borders and each airport received hundreds of planes every single day. Then something went wrong.
Overseas shipments that I’ve made between March 15th and May 15th have not left Russia with an airplane (the way they should went). Now they can:
a) be on the slow boat
b) laying in heap, waiting until the heap is big enough to fulfill next slow boat
c) laying in heap, waiting until airlanes get back to work
More recent shipments should go faster (I hope so), some of them have left Russia on June 6-7 and should be imported soon (I hope so).
I do expect pyramid-type sorting delays on both ends (parcels that are laying close to the bottom will be sorted at last, both when exporting and importing), so as soon as I will get delivery confirmation from more recent shipments (again, I HOPE SO), I will be able to offer the reshipment as a go-to way when it is possible.
I will ask everyone to post a message here if you have recently received a parcel from me. This is necessary for other waiting BLFers.
Update:
I’ve got the confirmation from Russian post that orders shipped to States in May and April have fulfilled the slowboat and should be delivered by middle of July. Later shipments should go by air.
Update 2:
I’ve got the confirmation from Russian post that orders shipped to Australia in May and April have fulfilled the slowboat and should be delivered by end of July. Still no air connection with Australia, so later shipments will wait until air is open or next slowboat.
Bump.
I will make another combo (Cu+Alu) batch next month (not sure they will sell fast but anyway need them in stock to be able to make reshipments) and I’m trying to figure out the right proportion between Cu and Alu.
Any ideas for source of 20-21mm quad pcbs? For NA For Australia
Since new intl-outdoor quads are 23mm, KD quad is made for chinese 2-leg optics, seems that the only option for other part of world is wait until led4power store will be reopened.
Current information from Russian post (for shipment from June 1st, for older shipments please check #1734):
Australia - barge fills 3 weeks, then up to 2 month delivery time
Canada - air connection is alive
Europe - goes with overland transport, takes 3-4 weeks
Japan - air connection is alive
Mid-East, South America, Africa, Oceania - post services not available.
US - air connection is alive
I have shipped not many parcels during the last weeks, and my own statistics are not big enough to make any conclusions.
According to Russian post information, boats that left Russia 24.05 and 7.06 have recently reached American land.
In most cases, this information is still not confirmed by USPS website. Parcels that came with the sea may have a long lag between landing and sorting.
A batch of P60 Cu shells
a batch of P60 Alu shells
a batch of S21 Cu triple spacers
several S11 Cu quad spacers
several S11 Alu quad spacers
will be ready soon.
I hope all delivery problems will be fixed for the next two weeks, and new shipments will go with air when it is possible.
Haha just the response I hoped. I did not make it. But recently new posts with C8TT head in daily mod thread reminds me that your C8TT was most unique thing to come along in a while and personal favorite. I want something similar for a smaller and larger battery tube. It needs some family members.
