Tracking is not updating timely/properly for all couriers and some parcels seem (temporarily) stuck presently - this is affecting mostly Spain but overall it's just three cases I'm aware of right now and I'll fix these one way or another.
With Black Friday coming up and extending into the christmas frenzy, delivery times and tracking will start to suffer soon, so I'm preparing to optimize everything a bit further to compensate for the impending chaos.
There seems to be a general confusion about how shipping/tracking operates still, so I'll just repeat some basics without saying anything too compromising:
1. Parcels are picked up at any shop for further transport by courier services on Friday afternoon and not again until Monday afternoon, so don't expect much movement on the weekend, nor tracking to update right away on Monday morning.
2. Tracking does not necessary reflect reality, as parcels are transported, not teleported. There's usually a break between the last outbound scan in my country and the inbound scan in your country, as there's simply no scan inbetween these two but quite a large distance.
3. Providing a phone number is mandatory for courier services, as the few issues that do appear are oftentimes due to a lacking contact for the courier. It doesn't compromise your OPSEC any further than providing your actual address.
4. If there are problems with shipping in general or to your country specifically, be sure I will make a post about it and/or put it on the website news, which is where you should definitely check first before mailing me.
