I have been receiving parcels from Mirahone through the pandemic, since about late June. They go by air but have a quarantine of about two weeks in Miami before USPS gets them. It is taking a lot longer for DHL to get them through their Frankfurt and Hamburg portals, probably for a similar quarantine process.
The shipping was double the normal price until early August and now is back to normal.
The USPS is also taking a few days longer to get it to me from Miami/US Customs.
The total time normally to get a parcel from Waldkraiburg to Yazoo City via DHL (Deutsche Post) and USPS is three weeks, but right now is about five weeks.
I have a package that left Miraphone on Friday. They confirm that it left the factory at 5:05 p.m. and DHL logs the same, but also says that it has not yet been picked up. I suspect that it was actually picked up but not scanned into the system properly. If this is the case then it is lost in the morass of the Frankfurt airport DHL Portal and will likely be there for another week. At some point, I hope to get an email showing it in the system and its approximate whereabouts. However, once it lands in the US it will drop off the system until the quarantine is over. It will NOT be scanned in until then, so you will lose all contact with it for some time.
This is irritating, but the price is the same and you *can* get stuff. I supposed anything less than this is going to be due to however the company you buy from (or their shipper) decides to handle things.
I expect my package to arrive before I die of natural causes, but perhaps not much sooner than that.
Good luck.
