A question for people that are familiar with mailorder time frames

So we've been mailing out alot of different packages.. mainly to Germany lately. This is not something myself or my brother are familiar with.. but since alot of people on here are familiar with or even run mailorder business's.. how long does it usually take for a package to get from California to say.. Nordhein Westfalen, Germany.. with normal shipping?

People get impatient and I need to know when I can say things should arrive.

Hi Ash, an air-mail parcel should make it to Germany within 7 workdays. A budget-mail parcel can possibly take several weeks up to months - you never can say for sure how long it will take. And sometimes parcels just get lost on their way (happened to my last CD-parcel from the US...).

thanks for the insight, Ulrich. yea.. things getting lost always is unfortunate.. I've had packages coming from only Los Angeles to San Diego get lost in the mail.. which is pretty sad. A question for people that are familiar with mailorder time frames Icon_smile

Generally an estimate of "around two weeks" is suitable for anything international.

My last (well, first and only so far) order from Whirlwind arrived to me in about 3 weeks. the tracking info didn't really say jack until it was in my hands Razz

I'm sure they are faster if you are in Europa.. though. That's what they are for.

DMD should work quicker for US Residents.
