Several folks on Facebook have mentioned long delays in shipping between the US and anywhere overseas. "Long delays" these days would mean "normal shipping" 20 or so years ago. We've become accustomed to quick shipping due to eased regulations and networked agents that assist with routing. Especially between the US and China.

I'm trying to recall my last private transaction with anyone across the Atlantic. Might have been 20 years ago, between here and the Netherlands. Swapped camera lenses with another fellow. Took 2-3 months back then. But we opted for the cheapest shipping and figured customs would slow things down.
