How messed up is international shipping currently? Have US tariffs have messed it up even for non-US related shipments?

Sold some little home-made parts via #Tindie to a buyer in Belgium six weeks ago, but they've not received them. ☹️

They chose cheaper non-tracked shipping. I can't do much about postal services, obv, but that's a long time.

Shipped a good 3wks before our postal strike. Delivery to Belgium is typ 8 or 9 days, so you'd think they'd be out of the country before the strike.

@ottaross I remember when I still lived in Sweden, the post office there advised me once to not send anything to Canada by post between the end of September and the first of May. "Because there's sure to be a strike, and who knows how long it will be"

@LillyHerself good advice. Lately anyway.
