Buying during the lockdown (not just)

Orders also delivered on the 1st, placed on March the 25th:

Also on the week of March 25th, delivered around April 8th, my first Silver Acre order. Not my first ever, the first of several I've made to them in this spree. I seem to recall they were way more expensive, their prices now look like good deals tough:























The Iron Fist ones I bought in Gosh! Comics' basement, just as the original owner finished the transaction, they weren't even bagged! This was in the 90's when they were still in front of the British Museum. I sold them later, but because I didn't get rid of the rest, I opted to buy them again, to at least have consecutive numbers. Similar situation with the Action Comics. The Hulk one finishes my hunt for PAD issues. Avengers 12 is outrageously priced, but what can you do?

Only two parcels arrived this week (April 15th), and one was just a bunch of Mylars. The other came from the final German eBay seller I've bought from these days. This is the last order placed on the week of the 25th, and it arrived on Monday, so while it was a little bit slower, it wasn't by much:

Received the last two parcels from Silver Acre this week, on the 29h and the 30th, despite having shipped with 10 days in between (carriers be crazy):

Finally, a couple of orders, from Sevilla and Germany, jump to the first place in the "disappointing" category. They took two weeks to arrive, used pretty basic envelops (ensuring damaged goods) and weren't entirely truthful about their shipping times (Sevilla) or have shoved slow communication (Germany):
