International Shipping--how long?

I shipped an order to France on April 14, and the buyer sent me a message today to say she had not yet received it. I sent it first class. I'm not panicking yet; my brothers used to live in Korea and it seemed to take quite awhile for them to get mail. Any one have experience shipping to France? Thank you!

2 weeks to a month, usually;
it should be there soon.

Re: International Shipping--how long?

I assume your postal services give you estimated shipping times on their website, to different groups of destinations.
(Our Belgian postal services do.)

But it sounds to me that it is too early to worry.
International shipping in general can easily take several weeks, especially if packages get hold up in customs.

I haven't had experience shipping to France, but keep in mind that customs can hold a package sometimes up to 4 - 6 weeks. Use the tracking number you have from the Post Office to check the status of the package. This way if it is in customs in France you can let your customer know.

It is still on time... It is not unheard of international orders taking a month, sometimes up to two! Customs can take a while to process packages.
