Seller shipped an item on June 10. DHL tracking is clear on that. The last
update is June 11 (The shipment will be transported to the destination country/destination
area and, from there, handed over to the delivery organization- US Postal Service).


USPS has never initiated tracking on the package. Can I assume that the package
is in a crate either at seaport in Germany, German airport, waiting until it
can fill the crate to ship the crate to NYC?

This is one of the longer delays on any package from Europe I have seen. Typical?

I've had several packages recently from Germany and often what happens is
tracking works for a couple of days then it says something similar to what yours
says than nothing happens for 1-2 months and then it all of the sudden arrives

Appreciate the confirmation. They must be using old silk road to a port in Asia

Typical, plus when it arrives, it might look like someone was playing rugby with
it. 8/10 received on my end looked like it.

Could it be a USPS problem?

The last three orders from Germany took four days to get to me.
My last Pick a Brick from Denmark took three days after I was charged for it.

Maybe I’ve just been lucky.

Huh, you talk about it on the internet and, poof, it moves.

Well, I’m not saying they are spying on us… but they are spying on us
