That kind of stuff, Tubes and the like if being sent UPS, DHL, FedEx and USPS for the most part are going Air. When the freight is 'On Water" it will take forever.
Worldwide Shipping Situation
Things must be improving. I just ordered a Denefrips Ares II via Vineshine Audio on March 20. It arrived at my home in New Jersey on March 25. The Fedex ticker showed the route; Guangzhou to Japan to Achorage to Nashville to Newark. Can't beat that!
