Iceland to England ??

[K-Cee]

Does anyone know how the air-freight systems are operating since airspace was re-opened.., last Monday I had an order of stuff sent from Reykjavic to the UK, apparently they dont have a tracking number for the item.
It was posted through the Icelandic postal system.., the company that sent it have e-mailed me tonight to see if it,s arrived.
Typical really., I,ve never in my life had any dealings with anywhere in Iceland.., and the parts I need could only be sourced there..., then a bloody great volcano decides to erupt.., very inconsiderate !

Anyway, if anyone has any advice, it would be appreciated.

I've no idea, but I'm intrigued as to what only Iceland can supply?

Given this is in General Gassing it'll be car parts.... Something for a monster 4x4?

You guessed right guys !!! it,s some 4x4 parts from Arctic Trucks.., the coolest 4x4,s on the planet !!

When ours opened, I believe theirs closed although I believe some flights are now coming out of Akureyri. www.icenews.is is generally a good source of info.

....yeah, I read that JQ.., the parcel went for despatch on Mon., and I think there were flights taking off from late Tues night early Wed morn, so was hoping it might be at least this side of the pond.., I was thinking obviously people first, freight second..., but dare-say people and freight ?

Anyway, here,s hoping

Most excellent. Any photos of the beast or is it an un-started project?. Details man, we need details.

It may have been held up in customs - they are in a different league to the UK. We regularly get parcels returned or held up for a week or 2. However they are parcels going into Iceland, coming out they seem to be more efficient, but it's not unheard of. We exported a TVR there a few years ago and customs held it for 6 weeks for no reason - it's still the only TVR in the country.
