Anyone ordered anything from China or internationally via FedEx?

The place I work for ordered some laptops towards the end of March, usually takes a week but they've only arrived in the last 2 days via FedEx.
In fairness we were warned to expect delays of 2-6 weeks depending on the spec.

FedEx is mostly OK for us at the moment - on Express shipments.
Economy shipments are facing longer delays, those are mostly handled by TNT now.
The main issue is reduced passenger flights - luckily the destinations we ship to/from most have direct FedEx flights. Is this an Economy shipment? Maybe that's the reason for the unusual route.

Waiting on several from March
17th from USA Dbrand. First one still in transit. They think lost so sent another.
23rd. Small drive belt for bread maker from Hungary finally arrived in UK 14th now at Langley HWDC and for who knows how long.
27th Ordered a item from a Chinese seller on ebay it arrived yesterday.
Good luck tbh it seems pot luck. Mor items from royal mail here are 3 days behind.

Economy or express, TNT or Fedex would not generally route China-UK parcels via Japan, unless its down to some Covid weirdnes .

Yeah, pretty sure it's down to the Covid weirdness that's going on , I'm seeing unusual routings on a lot of our shipments recently.
FedEx from memory usually goes from Guangzhou > CDG (France) > Stansted
Like DHL would usually route UK to Aus through Leipzig then HKG, now we're seeing them go to Ohio then HKG and then Aus

Why don't you drive there? It's only 200 miles.

Japan to Germany in under 4 hours - Impressive

13:22 Would be JP local time, so 06:32 Germany time, makes sense!
