Delivery record

That is pretty quick by German customs standards. I hardly ever receive anything from outside the EU in under 12 weeks. The longest wait so far was a car part from Australia. 3 days airmail from Australia to Frankfurt. Then 6 month to get through customs. It's not funny anymore. It has become really bad in the last couple of years... I am at the point where I seriously think about not buying from outside the EU anymore. I stopped buying from the US due to ebays global shipping program already. Most sellers are not willing to ship directly to Germany, and the global shipping program is a ripoff. You pay shipping to the distribution center, shipping from there to Germany, so called import duties, and then your package lands at the customs office where you have to pay real import duties on the item price + shipping costs + ebays so called import duties. That way I managed to pay about €120 for a €20 piston I bought a while ago.
