[Germany] Anyone from Germany experiencing delays longer than usual, due to postal strike?

Title says it all, anyone from Germany here that is experiencing longer delays than usual for getting letters, due to the postal strike? "Officially" 75% of the letters are still on time, and the rest are only delayed by "1 to maximum 2 days", but I don't think thats the case.

Does anyone know if the international letter department is hit by the strike?

Judging from vendor pages and reviews on mr saturn and merckkgaa it would seem so but I still see a bunch of reviews with "9 days to US" in the last two weeks. Then pages of the god awful "FE for trusted vendor. Will update"

Yes, I can tell you that the labor strikes going on at the moment are the most massive since the 1970tys, the postal service is only a small part of it but they alone miss over 20.000 workers. In the end luck is a big factor and where your Vendor sends from(some states are more affected then others), some report no delay, others a long one.

But be aware that the strike will not be resolved in the near future. Might take up to 3 more weeks (very likely given the statements of the union ver.di who is responsible for the strike). You can check the current status of the strikes here (given you can translate it):

You can also check if there will be a delay by entering your vendors postal code if you remembered it.

Just don't panic, I personally had to wait over a month because of postal strikes that were half as big. And don't hate them too much, the strike is justified.

Yeah waiting longer for a domestic package from a vendor who usually takes 2-3 days but at least knowing what is causing the delay is better than the paranoia if it just didn't turn up! Hopefully appears soon it's nearly the weekend

Had a customer receive his today, 8 days after shipped (domestic). So yeah, some delays.

I got some domestic shippings pretty fast, but have about 2-3 days delay for orders from Holland
