Jim,
My statement was not universally quantified - it is a simple statement about my own experience with Ancre ordering a single particular monograph. Which generic conclusion did I derive from it?

Ok ,lets just calm down ,everybody have different experiences
Hello Gennaro, Yep...it was your own experience and unfortunately not pleasant. But i read 'between the lines' and was under impression that you generalise ANCRE delivery service ' as usual'.
Zoly, we are OK, don't worry. We are smart enough not to go into a fight.... LOL You are correct, everyone has it own experience
I have placed 13 orders with ANCRE over the last 18 months and only had one issue where it took 3 months. This was only because I went cheap on the shipping so it was my fault. The last order that I recently placed has taken longer which is to be expected. I have nothing but great things to say about ANCRE.
I AGREE WITH JIM, MY FIRST ORDER FROM ANCRE WAS THE FROLICH BOOK it took a couple of months went the cheap way MY FAULT the latest was the lE COUERE MONOGRAPH I took the second option will wait and see how long it takes, the next one i will go for the biggie it would be worth it, so so far no complaints from me, extrodinary times this is, in my 82 years thoughti had seen about bit all KNOW WAY THIS IS DIFFERENT WORLD WIDE, THE LAST ONE LIKE THIS WAS THE SPANIS FLU 1918 to 1919 millons died over 100 years ago, we can not go back to what was it now is what it will be like, GOD PROTECT US. GOD BLESS STAY SAFEB Don
Thank you Uwe for the update. For some reason (not sure) I did not get the (at)Donnie response. Maybe my oversight or something, but I am glad that I found this thread now.
It seems that my order (for those that want to know) has stopped at the New York Customs for the past week. I know it will arrive soon. Next time I will take Uwe advice and order the higher tier of services. (Zoltan, BTW - I am not complaining).

Got another tracking email from USPS (signed up for tracking info). My ancre book is now in Boston, MA.
just thought I would mention for reference for others waiting.

In US, US Postal Service USPS, delivers six days a week, with Sundays off except for express overnights.
Finding a post office open on weekends is another thing, they are only 5 days a week and bankers hours as the old saying goes.

Our post office is open on Saturday from 8 to noon only. Other days 8-6 I think

Congrats on the new acquisition! Be careful with that catalog; it can be dangerous. ;P
There should be a calendar too I guess
...I know exactly what you mean, Eric

Waiting on my order, and a catalog, the research info can be as addicting as buying and building kits.
