Anyone had this before with UPS?
Why do I have the feeling I'm not getting the items in this package?

Best guess: struggling to find a flight to South Africa - hence going via UAE in the first place.

Let me tell you my story and then one day from America to Dubai will look like a lightning flash.
SA Post office parcel posted from Piketberg. Here you need patience.

I had the same with a Fedex package about a month ago - it sat at Dubai for 6 days - patience is a bitch!

Re: Anyone had this before with UPS?
I had similar delays with my parcel from the Netherlands shipped via UPS. Also went via the Dubai route. The problem is the shortage of passenger flights due to COVID, as passenger flights also carry a lot of cargo.

Re: Anyone had this before with UPS?
Pretty normal these days. I’ve had four parcels from the US with couriers the last month and all were shipped via the Dubai hub - with various delays. Also expect further customs clearance delays when they arrive in Jhb. The usual fast pre-clear which we had prior to lockdown is probably still in quarantine. :(

UPS is having some delays out of Dubai to SA because Emirates capacity is low at the moment. Adding 1 to 3 day atm.
DHL are using KLM from Amsterdam and not having the same delays as UPS as there is more freight capacity from there to SA.
