Worldwide Shipping Situation


Things must be improving. I just ordered a Denefrips Ares II via Vineshine Audio on March 20. It arrived at my home in New Jersey on March 25. The Fedex ticker showed the route; Guangzhou to Japan to Achorage to Nashville to Newark. Can't beat that!

Good. Maybe I can get my phono preamp upgraded. Need to ship it to Australia

Excellent.  I ordered tubes from China on 2/22. Estimated delivery date was sometime in April.  They showed up 3/12. I was impressed. 

obviously came air.  Situation for ships may not be as good.  I did just get some tubes from Slovenia today.  They came air also. 

I have an amp on order from Kinki and it is supposed to ship in a few days. I believe they ship air also.  

Now your trip from Nashville to Newark was likely Fedex ground which has been gastopodically slow for a year.  I bought an amp from Europe that arrived in Nashville and still took over a week by ground. But that was faster than some of the other Fedex ground shipments I had late last year.  Maybe things are getting better.
