ElViejo, I recently made an order to test the process. Through IndiaMart.com vendors are now charging additional fees for US Tariffs in some manner. All except maybe one or two who provided quotes for my purchase seem to be back to using India Post for shipping. Some may offer shipping through Dubai. I asked at least one vendor how his shipments to the US were going, but I received no response. If all goes well this shipment should arrive within 3 to 4 weeks, but I am anticipating problems. As I said, it’s just a test.

Here are the results of the “test order” I made. The order was paid for on Oct. 16, 2025 and arrived in my mailbox on Nov. 10, 2025. I believe that’s 26 days which is definitely longer than usual. It appeared to be in limbo most of that time which according to my research may have been an extensive stay in Zurich waiting to get on an airplane and an extensive wait at JFK to get into Customs. ParcelsApp.com kept repeating the Zurich to JFK flight message every 3 days for a few weeks. From what I could find out most of these shipping messages are electronically generated and when the package wasn’t actually found to be at JFK the computer simply generated the Zurich to JFK flight message again. Then, all action went totally silent for about a week before I saw “Arrived at USPS Regional Facility, Queens, NY Distribution Center” which means it had apparently passed through Customs and was going through the postal system. So, the only obvious problem to me was a week or two of extra time for delivery.
