The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

It sure does! Almost exactly.Danger Mouse wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 7:51 pmDoes your tracking info look anything like this? If it does, then yes. APC are especially rubbish, but it seems most of the US freight companies are subcontracting out through them for NZ deliveries.

At least someone is having some luck.
DHL is terrifyingly fast if you can get it - I’ve had things turn up in days from Europe

Yep, also had a parcel from the UK arrive very quickly via DHL earlier this week. Probably would’ve been even quicker if there hadn’t been a weekend in the middle.

Still waiting for a boss fs7 to turn up, has been "processing" at Highbrook since the 17th. Reckon my pedal from the States will turn up first.
Loving it so far

I can only imagine how much of a cluster fuck it is inside that place.

It's hit-and-miss in my experience. One pedal I bought simply never arrived. The couple of other things I've bought took forever.

My last parcel from the UK was 10 days with Fedex and that included it being held up in customs for 2 days. My current parcel (Royal Mail) has been 3 weeks and still no sign of it entering the country yet.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
