Three Weeks Shipping Time Normal to the US?
« on: December 12, 2010, 10:48:18 PM »
What's the experience of recent USA customers on shipping times?  It's been 3 weeks since BKP completed the order and gave it to Royal Mail and I haven't received them yet.  Tracking at Royal Mail says:  "We have received your item, posted on 23/11/10 and it is being processed for delivery abroad."

Almost sounds like it's still sitting there waiting to be packaged or something.

So is this a typical length of time, or should I be concerned?

Thanks!
Mark

not that typical - we had snow here so royal mail stop working.

So, not typical, but not to worry . . .  and pray for the snow to melt . . .

Maybe I'll go ahead and change my strings and reset the intonation.  They'll surely show up the next day if I do that.

I've always found that mail slows at Christmas/Winter time, I've got 3 BKP's coming in.
I'm not good enough, technically, to be a classic musician. I lack discipline.

I sent a pedal to a forum member, and it hasn't arrived yet :(

"We have received your item, posted on 24/11/10 and it is being processed for delivery abroad."

I suspect US customs are holding everything up which has wires in it due to recent events.

I think it's the royal mail in Christmas being a bit slow. I was living in the UK for 2008 and 09 and I had some issues when in Christmas. Once, I had a sensor (for my course) lost by them but they finally found it and resent it to me after a few months. So don't worry the pickups will be there anyway.

MarkAll let me know when you get yours, as mine should be getting here around the same time!
Ah the wait is killing me  :x

We've been waiting for what seems like forever for a bunch of pups from BKP and suspect this is the reason...

So it's either Christmas or security.  I think I'll go ahead and change strings and reset the intonation!

We've had an order that's been in NY for a month today, just waiting for it to leave customs...

I just had a package delivered that was mailed almost a month ago
So many pickups, so little time
