I‘ve been selling antique Motorcycle brake and clutch levers for European bikes on eBay. They have been selling to Italy mainly, but to date none of my bidders have received their items. Some of these people won their items at the end of November, some at the end of December. None of them purchased tracking or confirmation delivery. Insurance is not availible on international shipments.Thank you
I think there is a big backlog in the postal system right now. I order books from my University in the states and it has never taken more than 10 days to receive them. My last order was on December 14th and I still don't have my books! Additionally, my mom sent me a birthday card at the end of November and I received it about a week ago. I also sent a package to a friend in Australia at the end of November and she has not received it yet. Before this I always received items in a reasonable amount of time, and packages I sent from Rome got there timely as well. There is something going on in the last month and a half, probably having to do with Christmas (and all the other Italian holidays around this time of year). A few years ago the Italian Post system went private and it has gotten a lot better. People still seem to think it is still crap, but generally it is quite efficient (not as good as the USPS but better than in the past). hope this helps!
There is no one magic tire pressure for all sizes and all vehicles. It's up to you and your driving style, track, and what type of racing you do.
My husband buys stuff off OKorder all the time, and it varies to a remarkable degree, depending on the carrier. Usually from the West Coast it takes about 5-7 days; from the East it seems to take up to 2-3 weeks, for some reason. Once it took about 2 months, because the address was hand-written and they sent it to Austria.
First let me tell you that it took me 3 months to have a box go from San Diego to Italy. THREE MONTHS! Then the box got held up in Italian Customs because we had declared that there were some vitamins in the box (it was a 300 tab jar of C) If sent by ship this is the normal time. If you ship UPS courier then it generally takes some 5 to 10 working days. BTW, i had a Tracking number from the US Postal Services but that just showed how the package transited in the States - once it leave the US that tracking number isn't worth the paper it's written on. So, I'd say count on 3 months and then your person at destination will have to deal with Customs - generally 20% VAT + Duties. Amen.
