[meteorite-list] Overseas Shipping Delays??

[Greg Hupe]

Dear List Members,

It looks like the personnel layoffs at the US Post Office and overseas 
customs scrutinizing of packages has began to affect shipping times. I have 
received in one day, three different shipping related questions from three 
different eBay customers in three different countries, "When did you post 
the items?" All three of these people won eBay items from me that ended last 
Wednesday. less than one week ago! I do not understand the urgency unless it 
has to do with upcoming holidays, or if this is just an odd occurrence which 
I have very rarely been asked since I typically ship within a day or two of 
ended auction, if not same day!

To all who win meteorite (or other) auctions from me on eBay, please be 
patient, you will receive your items as promised!

In a related note, I have been told by my local post office worker that 
delays are happening locally, so I think we can expect some delays for 
overseas shipments as well. :-/

Best regards,
Greg
