funkyjimbob Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Is anyone else experiencing excessively long delays ordering from Europe at the moment? I bought a CS Warwick Streamer off of somebody in Germany a couple of weeks ago and it is STILL not here yet. It took a week for it to be dropped off to Parcelforce within Germany and then said it was in transit to the UK last Friday with no updates since. I am ready to kill at this moment in time as I have some gigs coming up this weekend too with no 5 strings in sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Channel tunnel / cross channel ferries are delaying a lot of incomings from and outgoings to European mainland due to all the French strikes and migrant problems Edited August 5, 2015 by Merton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyjimbob Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Still no update. Surely there is a delay but not a delay of almost 2 weeks?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Ordered some Nike trainers from Germany last Thursday, got them on Tuesday. Obviously not bass sized, may have gone via air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Yes. They normally go by air. Nike Air. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyjimbob Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 That's not making me feel any better. So frustrating. I don't know where the hell my bass is?! It's not like it's a Custom Shop Warwick or anything.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyjimbob Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 So, today it randomly turned up.. 2 weeks and 2 days later. The tracking wasn't updated either. Here she is (With my Infinity). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 [quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1438898507' post='2838611'] Yes. They normally go by air. Nike Air. :-) [/quote] Superb How about Thomann? Do they send via the chunnel or air? Waiting on my bass coming home after repair, they sent it on Thursday of last week.
