This is for a stateside delivery.

I'm going to be placing a large order from AN next week. Since I'll be leaving town for a week a few days after I place the order I am wondering how the delivery time will coincide with my return.

Does anyone here have experience with the transit times for an East coast U S delivery?
 
They are typically very quick on in-stock items: I once put in an order on a Friday, had it by the following Tuesday. That is to SW Ontario, Canada.

If DHL/US Customs doesn't screwup the customs, two workdays from when AN finishes the order.

Since AN does not list the US Customs code (8714.10.0050 or 8714.10.0090, both work). You are often charged 3.9% customs - there is NO customs on Vintage Motorcycle parts from the UK to US.

My last $1400+ order was charged $54.87, and it took 5 days to get that removed and then it was just sitting 8 miles away at the airport for two more days.

If your order is over $2500, you can be charged a "fee" that is not customs duty, but DHL incorrectly tells you have to pay customs duty - a real mess trying to sort out. If charged the "fee" you must pay but US customs rarely charges it.

This is NOT an AN complaint - they mark the parts with the correct customs description, just not the code.

Others I buy from in the UK do almost everything related to customs wrong but put the code on the box and there's never an issue.

I have received orders from them in what seemed like less than 24 hrs.
Trick is making the time difference work for you.
 
I placed the order yesterday at 4:04 PM and the order was dispatched today at 9:43 AM
 
Order $800 worth of parts from NOC and have yet to get parts a month later. They can't tell me where they are , suppose Customs are holding parts. England is f'd up when it comes to customs and "Duty" taxes!!!

It isn't limited to 'England' It affects Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland, UK rules.

And from the last 6 years of experience....France is no different at all!

Some things I've learned:

1) It is critical that the seller has your email and/or phone and that it is included in the customs docs. Some sellers provide their own email and they get notified of customs holds - often to an unwatched email address!

2) Check your junk mail!

3) A package sent via Royal and US Mail can take a LONG time and there is no tracking.

Since you didn't mention tracking, I bet you have one of those issues.

To be quite fair, if the paperwork was completed correctly then the problem is with the US customs. There's no changes here due to Brexit, says I who is not a fan of it...
 
I get orders from UK in 7-10 days , Duke parts from France & Italy a bit quicker ….

I placed and order with AN November 20. Have not heard anything. No acknowledgement of order, no Visa charge. That's over two weeks. First time ordering from AN.

I suggest something has gone wrong, perhaps best to call or email them.

Assuming you’ve checked your spam folder already ?
 
Can't find an order from Michigan on 20th November on our shop system and since the customer pays, not we charge him, I suspect something went very wrong with the payment for the order hence it wasn't completed. If an order isn't complete it does not show on the system.

Normally every order goes out in the next working day.

As for those customs codes I will discuss them with Karl if they help in the US.
