Bill Moran Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I want to get some of the modern Russian pilot figures that Tempmodels just released plus some ordnance from Advanced Models, but I don't want a 3+ month wait for the orders to get to me like the three orders I placed from Russian vendors back in the April-May time frame. Has anyone had a recent experience of ordering product from Russia to the US? I'm trying to get an idea of the current shipping time using Russian Post, not DHL or another expensive express shipper. Victorymodels.com here in the US stocks Advanced Models line, but they have been out-of-stock for some time on the items I want. I don't think Tempmodels has a US distributor.

boom175 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I ordered something from ebay from a russian seller and it took a few days to get to the post office 16 Sep. Stayed in the local Post Office till the 22 Sep when it went through the big Moscow P.O. so now its on its way from russia to the US. Judging from a previous package it will take a week or so to get here and another week to get through US customs and to go from NYC to Baltimore. This is the least expensive tracked postage. I would definitely get tracked postage!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Moran Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 It sounds like the process is running faster now. My three previous orders took a week or so to get to the Moscow PO, and then the packages sat for several months waiting for a flight to the US. Thanks for the reply.

GW8345 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I've ordered several items from Ukraine (through Ebay) the past few months, the shipping times for the stuff I've ordered was about 30 days (+/- a few days) from the time I ordered it to it arrived at my mail box.

Bill Moran Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 I had pretty much the same experience ordering from Ukraine back in May. Russia was a different experience entirely at that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsman Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Russia have opened some international air routes so things should be better now. In April/May it took about 75 days to get here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 My understanding is that things have improved in the last few months. Back in May I placed an order with Quinta Models and it took almost two months to get to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 My package from Temp models was sent late August and last sign of life was on 30'th. Since then nothing, so radio silence for 3+ weeks now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P-38 guy Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I have an order coming from Russia. Shipped Aug 4th. Arrived Chicago customs Sept 2nd and has not moved since. Will be calling the customs Friday to see what is going on. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juanchopancho Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I ordered some stuff from Reskit back in June/July? 30 days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Moran Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 I didn't have as much of a delay when I ordered from ResKit a few months back. Apparently Ukraine wasn't experiencing as bad of delays as Russia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
