I have two separate rod orders, a reel, and some lures. Hoping they make it here soon!

I ordered a Shimano Scoroion from Japan Lure Shop on 4/4 (Saturday), received it on 4/9. That included a 2 day delay because EMS and Epaket couldn't be used do to CV-19 and he had to wait for Fedex to open.

I ordered a reel from Australia and the last time the tracking was updated was 4/2 when it said it departed Sydney.

So, about a week and a half? I’ve got a reel, some lures, and a rod hanging out there.

I'm going 2 weeks from Adelaide CBD to Gold Coast CBD... Took 5 days to get out of SA it seems.

Australia Post is just out of control and unable to handle variables at the moment.

If they were sent via Fedex or DHL, you should have them soon. Recently got a DHL package from Croatia in 3 days.

Japan Post/EMS is causing the shipping delays.

I ordered some stuff from Japan that came faster than something I ordered an hour away from me.

I think Canada Post is using donkeys now.

I ordered a reel from Ichiban Tackle (who typically uses EMS) several weeks ago and it is nowhere in sight!

I placed a Hedgehog order last night (I paid dearly for shipping) and they're using Yamato Transport instead of Japan Post. Anyone else place an order with them recently? How long did it take?

I purchased a rod from JDM Heaven. It took them a couple of days to process / package the rod. Their communication was excellent! FedEx got me the rod in 4 days.

I purchased some Sunline small game braid from Singapore (Shimreels) on 4/30, with free shipping, and I'm still waiting. I've purchased from them before, and expected long shipping times.
