Australia Post suspends deliveries to US. Glad I ordered my Artem straps last week…

They cleared customs yesterday just as this was announced. I should have them in hand today or tomorrow (I paid extra for the “express” shipping, which was hardly express via Australia Post).

I know a lot of members are in Australia. Wonder how this is going to affect those of you who sell watches/parts to the US.

Just received an email from Artem. They are now shipping via DHL express. This will likely be an improvement for international customers, from my experience!

FWIW, Holben's is a US distributor for Artem and, although they don't carry all of the sizes, do have most of the common sizes in stock domestically, at least at the moment. Same price as ordering direct from Artem but with cheaper and quicker shipping. (That said, I'm personally not at all a fan of Artem straps.)

I've ordered a couple of their Richard Mille style deployant buckles, always had good delivery from Artem directly, but I see they are offered on the Holben's site, too. Never tried their straps.
