Consequences of the corona (COVID-19) crisis for Bonsai Focus shipments
Dear Subscribers,
The last issue of Bonsai Focus was sent out to all countries on schedule. However, many counties worldwide have been closed for several weeks due to the Corona Crisis. Even now, there are countries that are still shut down, such as New Zealand and some parts of Australia. Deliveries to some countries are therefore behind by up to 6 weeks, while national and local postal services have enormous backlogs that have caused even further delay.
Most of our magazines are sent by airmail, so it didn’t help that international air traffic virtually came to an abrupt stop. The number of flights decreased dramatically and we didn’t get priority on the flights that did take off.
It is almost impossible for us to get accurate updates on international post and deliveries because of the long response times, or no response at all. Maybe it will help if you can personally check with your national or local postal service and ask what their backlog is.
We much appreciate your understanding over this and ask you to please be patient. We are sure that, in the end everyone will receive their issue, but it will surely take several extra weeks before we can get back to normal again.
The situation is changing every day for most destination countries around the world. Check the list below for delays to your destination.
