Shipping time from Merlin Cycles

[PaMtbRider]

I ordered some parts from Merlin and it shows they left the UK on May 14th. USPS has yet to show receipt on their end. I know things are slower right now with Covid, but how long should I wait till I ask Merlin to track the package?

I bought tires from them on May 6th

They left via Royal Mail on May 8th

Tracking via USPS came alive on May 15th

They arrived at my post box USA May 18th

So I imagine your order is close

It always depends on what day it left
Sometimes day it left is not same as day ordered
Then figure in weekend etc

I ordered from Merlin May 12, arrived May 28.

Tracking said it went from England to SFO, then the USPS took it to Champaign Illinois, then to Seattle for delivery. Go figure.

With COVID-19 I don't expect anything to be quick.

Shoes took two weeks to Oregon. It got stuck in the east coast for one week.

Ugh. Just placed an order with Merlin (and PBK) this morning. I'll update the thread on my delivery status.

I’ve got two USPS packages that have been “in transit” for months. Others arrived with little to no delay. Note these were not customs delays. They cleared customs the same day they were presented and then stopped moving a few days later.

Ordered Shoes on 5/6 and just showed up 5/30. Seemed to sit at the point of entry in the US for some time, before finally moving.

2.5 weeks to los angeles

Last month I placed 2 UK orders on the same day, one from Merlin and one from another retailer. Both traveled quickly through UK and to NY. The Merlin package then made it to me 3 days later (total time one week). The second package didn't arrive for 3 weeks, stuck in NY. So you never know.

2.5 weeks to DFW. Most of that time appears to be in customs.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I wait a little longer. No big deal, it's one of the risks when ordering from overseas.

I’ve ordered numerous times from Merlin. Sometimes the goods come from the UK and sometimes from Spain. Either way it’s always been at least two weeks and these days it’s probably a it longer. I wouldn’t worry!

I ordered a couple of ti brake nuts from Total Cycling in the UK on 3 May. They arrived on 29 May.
