Ordering film from Fotoimpex to U.S. - shipping?

[lecarp]

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this. How are shipping times running on your orders shipped to the United States from Fotoimpex at this time?
Is international shipping getting back to normal or still delay issues?

Thanks

I cannot report on Fotoimpex, however I have not had international shipping for quite a while. In fact after the war on the Ukraine I ordered a view finder and it came in about two to three weeks without any problems.

I have ordered from fotoimpex and macodirect. Maco has a ups contract. Fotoimpex does not . My orders from maco arrives in under 2 weeks. Fotoimpex about 4-6 weeks. Sometimes get stuck in customs with fotoimpex , they use Dahl then customs, then USPS. Kinda sucks. The dollar to euro is really good about 1.10. Shipping for 500 usd is about 50-75 usd. That’s really good . Considering film and paper about 1/2 the price of freestyle. Twice a year I buy from Europe no vat. Even with a slightly higher rate of exchange I still save money. I live in Wisconsin.

DHL deliveries from Australia and New Zealand to Los Angeles came fast through the COVID times.

Last I looked, fotoimpex was tacking on a pretty steep surcharge on orders shipped to the US. No doubt this was something DHL was charging them.

They add on $16.00, an increase from DHL, the price difference compared to U.S. is well worth it.

For at least several months now, one or two days less than two weeks. Delays, to my area, are a thing of the past. This is faster than DHL/USPS from Bad Saarow to San Clemente was even before the pandemic.

Thank You! that is what I was looking for. Thanks to all who responded thus far!

Bit late to this thread, but when I bought this summer the delivery time from Berlin to Canada was 6 weeks by mail.
