PMI to Moscow

[penguins_dont_fly]

Good morning all ...

Has anybody shipped USPS Prority Intl to the Russian Federation since this pandemic started?

I've got an order going to Moscow via Priority International ... I'm just wondering how bad of a delivery delay I (and my buyer) should expect.

A FCI to Australia just took 5 weeks! And I've got a Canada FCI that's just lollygagging around for a week already and hasn't even hit the ISC yet ... so I know it's bad out there 🙂

So how bad is the delay to Russia? Russian customs is slow enough when the item finally arrives LOL

Early on in the pandemic I had good experiences to ship to Russia. Shipments up to April went smoothly. I still have buyers that did not receive items (or at least online tracking does not show so) from early/mid-May shipments, and now most postal services are shut down completely in Russia, at least as far as incoming international mail is concerned.

I am shipping out of HK, but the situation for incoming mail to Russia will be similar regardless of origin.
