Shipping times from the UK?
Random question, sorry.
I won 3 DVD's off EbayUK last week. All were shipped the same day, which was last Saturday. 2 of my DVD's took maybe 2-3 days to get here, but the last one isn't here yet.
Is it normal for it to take over a week to get the U.S?

I've experienced very different shipping times. I've gotten stuff pretty quick from cd-wow and Amazon.uk but I've waited 10 days or more from stuff shipped from blahdvd and bensonsworld.uk. I would say it's normal.

Im from the UK myself and this mail strike has slowed it down quite alot. I am always receiving some sort of mail, be it DVDs, bills or junk and for a couple days I have received nothing and seen no postmen around.
Talking of shipping times, I am waiting on an International Priority Mail DVD delivery from USA. I am told it takes 6-10 business days, but have not had anything yet (its been 8 working days). Does anyone know if this package will require a signature, if it is delivered with normal mail or will it be a delivery van? Any ideas at all? Cheers

Off topic, sorry!
I sent my brother - less than 200 miles away in London - two DVDs a week before his birthday. A week after the big day they have yet to arrive.
(Maybe I should've got him to bid for them on eBay and have lived across the ocean!)

Wow, didn't even know there was a strike.
Should I avoid ordering anything from the UK right now? After I get my last DVD I was thinking of ordering more DVD's off of Amazon UK.

Expedited shipping from the UK via Amazon UK has always taken me 2-3 days to receive once I placed the order. It's always comes via DHL and is always delivered in the AM just after 9, generally.
Air Mail is generally 6 days in my experience and shows up in mt post box equally as usual.
I've only just started having everything shipped via "Air Mail" as most of my purchases are not "life or death, gotta have em' now" items. To date, I've not been disappointed.
