We have previously posted (and now removed the post) that we were losing a package shipped to the UK using Parcelforce. I gave a heads-up to various UK-based buyers that EMS & Registered Airmail packages to the UK are super delayed due to the huge backlog caused the the strike in the UK.

Imagine this, it should take only a maximum of 15 days for an EMS package to reach the recipient in the UK but my last shipment to the UK using EMS (Parcelforce) took a little more than 45 days! EMS to the UK is only US$10.00 cheaper versus FEDEX to the UK. But FEDEX to the UK only takes less than 1 week to reach the recipient and not 45 days!

Why pay for EMS (Parcelforce) when you will not get the speed of EMS.

I am quite happy that the package did eventually reach the buyer. I apologize to the buyer. We had no control over the speed of the shipment. All we could control is that we shipped it within 24 hours after the payment has been cleared.

Maybe once RoyalMail and Parcelforce get their act going, we can use them again.

Cheers!
