I’ve recently had two orders from Europe, one from Czech Republic, one from Germany
take longer to arrive after shipping than one from Canada, still waiting for
the order from Germany.

No special shipping arrangements for any.

Presumably held up clearing customs somewhere.

Hi,
I sent orders to USA or Canada sometimes in just a week and other times in 3
or 4 weeks. Because of summer vacations it could maybe takes longer...

Ordering stuff from the USA is often cheaper and faster than from the EU now.
Although it is not that that has got better.

Still not arrived, now getting a little concerned as to whether it’s lost.

Just informed seller and I’ll give it a few more days to make sure it’s definitely
gone.

Perhaps slower, but is it $17 for a 3 ounce package like from the US?

Should be about $12 if you use Pirate Ship:
