I am also waiting for a new bong from grasscity and just checked their site. If you clickon the support tab the first announcement is this.
Delay (package) Post inbound for USA by temporary measure U.S. Homeland Security Department
Since the increased security measures for air transport of mail and postal parcels to the United States, your mail and packages weighing more than 500 grams destined for the United States no longer will transported by air. This measure applies to postal operators worldwide so we are forced to divert to alternative possibilities. This means a delay in delivery times for your shipments. The transit time is increased by up to a maximum of two weeks.
As a big part of our orders is being shipped via European mainland, as long this measure will be enforced, we will ship large parcels (over 500 grams) via sea freight (by boat) to the USA. All orders containing items being shipped from inside the USA (like color changing glass among others) will not be affected by this new measure.
We apologize fort this delay, but also hope on your understanding as these circumstances are beyond our control. We will do anything to speed up your delivery and will keep you up to date on these pages regarding these new security measures.
For an official announcement on these measure see our
Dutch Postal carrier TNT (In Dutch), and an earlier memo from last November from our French carrier La Poste (see attachment)
Please have patience with delivery of your order, in regards to all other questions regarding your order or your future purchase do not hesitate to ask our support department, we are here to help you.
Regards,
The Grasscity.com Support Team
So this is what is taking our packages so long to get here.
