I do wonder if some post was/is sent using space in the hold of passenger planes, which are obviously not running much or at all in some places.

I've not have anything that hasn't arrived yet, the longest wait was a small part sent by economy mail from Australia, taking about six weeks.

Also just received a HP counter bought from Spain a month ago, the seller had lots of problems getting it collected due to local restrictions, it only took a week to deliver once the carrier finally collected it.
