Is anyone else experiencing delays in shipments from Namibia? I have a consignment of trophies sitting, waiting to be shipped, and it seems the delays just keep increasing. For the past month it's been, "any day now".

Thanks for any info
 
Who is your shipping agent? My shipment from Namibia was supposed to come in September, then December, then January… finally got it in May. TIA. I will say they were upfront about the delays. This was in 2022 so could be old info.
 
I haven’t gotten there because my euros and zebra rug seem to be taking an awfully long time to be “finished”. (Dropped off in May)

Pronto Global Shipping. They have been very good and upfront in the past. I did receive an update this morning - the shipment was at the airport for a flight today, but was off-loaded in favor of higher priority freight.

I'll see how long this persists.

I've got trophies sitting in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia with similar issues.

I had the same timeline experience. Dropped off the beginning of June. Received the following July. All was well, just took time.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
