Hi everyone, I hope this topic is not inappropriate or off topic. Is anyone else experiencing extreme delays with shipping from Italy at the moment? I’m waiting for 2 cards that were sent from Italy at the end of last year but have been stuck in Italy since December 31, 2024. One via the post office and one via UPS.

Italian customs is always horribly backlogged. I wouldn’t worry yet.

Like haytertcg said, Italian customs aren’t exactly the fastest thing ever, especially when the shipping is on poste italiane hands.
Regarding UPS, I also recently experienced huge delays, probably due to holidays and/or backlogs. I had a package stuck in Spain for almost 2 weeks.

I’ve recently had a package shipped from Finland to Italy take 35 days with regular post. Absolutely avoid that like the plague and use DHL, FedEx or UPS who will deliver to/from Italy in 2-3 days worldwide most of the time. It’s beyond me how the standard post system even exists nowadays and how people use it at all.
