Reading posts from abroad am envious and am wondering if I got lost on the offramp. Nothing in the post as of yet in Sunny South Carolina.

nothing in SF Bay Area

however, in another recent german post, it took 60 days for me to receive my package. (original tape still on the box, so i don't think it was hung up at customs)

Nothing from the northeastern U.S., but the Les Nez rep said to expect shipping to take at least 18 days. I think they were sent here somewhere around 10/18.

Thanks EMF!

If those are business days, we should be getting our juice on November 13th or thereabouts. I know we're all sitting by the mailboxes!

I'd not worry too soon here in the US. A rough outline of what it takes to get parcels to this side of the water when one is not using expensive airmail services.

10/18: Parcels are tendered to CH post for transportation.

1 - 7 days to load in at Container Freight Station (CFS) in Zurich as most likely freight center for co-loading in 40' ocean container with other US bound cargo.

2-3 Day transit to Bermerhaven or Rotterdam depending on the routing.

1-3 days at port Container Yard (CY) waiting load on vessel.

11-16 days: Ocean transit time to New York.

1-3 days to pull container from destination CY to bonded CFS for deconsolidation.

THEN the lot is customs cleared and tendered to the US Postal Service and enters the normal postal stream.

A very generous offer (something for nothing) from Les Nez with what I have heard are more like small decants (4 ml) than dinky samples. I'm not going to sweat this one for another couple of weeks at least.
