A few months ago I stopped all my international shipping due to postal delays.
I'm thinking of opening up shipping to the USA again, but upping the postage charge to cover tracking, even for single items.
Is anyone still shipping to the USA and how long are you finding posting times, compared to what Aus Post are putting on their website?
I just had a lady contact me to say that an item I had sent untracked in April arrived at her home today, so this took over 4 months to get to her, but that does seem to be well above average.

My last US parcel was 2 weeks but have not sent anything in the last month so things may have changed.

There is other news, if you google.

Exactly this.
And don't go waiting until the last minute to post off your ballot papers to there, either! 😄

I have opened some of my items to USA, UK and NZ. - set at standard international postage (with tracking)
I have had a couple of purchases and in each case, as soon as they buy, I have emailed them saying I am willing to post but Australia Post advises that due to the virus, postage delays may be incurred from 8 to 10 weeks, would they like to continue? In each case the buyer has written back saying they understood and were willing to wait.
Obviously I have only opened up the more expensive items - as the cost of standard international postage is quite staggering.
