I just a heads up for everyone ordering.  Shipping from Russia is especially slow now. I have a few orders including tibam and HLS and nothing has even crossed customs yet.

Which shipping option did you choose for your HLS parcel?
I chose EMS, which is supposed to be the fastest, and it’s still been stuck in the same place for over 10 days now.... it’s cleared customs and it’s being “prepared for shipment from Russia”.

Air-freight. My last two orders from tibam took 4, and 6 weeks. My latest pending order from them is up to 6 weeks with no update. I ordered a razor from Greece last week(Lambda Ares) and it’s already near my hub for delivery. The rocnel I ordered in January took a week to arrive as well. It’s specific to Russia. I don’t have any complaints I’m sending a PSA so everyone manages their expectations.

Thank you, useful to know.
I thought that, by choosing EMS, the fastest/ most expensive shipping option they were offering, I might be able to avoid all that, and get it in 2 or 3 weeks....
So far it looks like it’s made no difference and I’ll be waiting for quite a while...
According to the tracking, it was just one hour between arriving at and being cleared and released by Russian customs, but then it got stuck at the next step, being “prepared for shipment from Russia”, for over 10 days now... doesn’t quite make sense, so not even sure how accurate or useful those tracking entries are...

It’s mostly COVID and suez backup related. Nothing to the fault of the seller. It’s sitting in a warehouse waiting to find space on a passenger flight. It’ll get to us, but the reality is we should be counting the weeks not days.

It’s been so bad I bought a charcoal goods stand, forgot about it, and sold my CG razor lol. Going to be on the bst when it gets here

I had heard that there were long delays with the Russian Post (which is why I went for the “fastest” EMS post), but hadn’t realised they were that bad...

Dang, I feel like my most recent purchase (TiBam handle) got to me relatively quick. Ordered Jan 14, shipped Jan 24; got to US hub Feb 2, milled around for awhile, delivered to me Feb 16. That is actually in the same timeframe as pre-pandemic, as far as I can recall. Stuff from Russia (excluding expedited/overnight courier service) pretty much always has taken ~4 weeks, IME at least.
