Leon,

Selamat Datang
I'm an ex-Malaysian, now in Sydney.

International deliveries have taken a lot longer since the start of Covid. It is not uncommon for orders to take 4-6 weeks to arrive in my experience.

If you're looking for some lower prices pipes to clean up and flip, have a look at Williams Estate Briar Pipes, in Denmark. I have bought quite a few estate pipes from him. He posts only 1 photo per pipe and very little information, but is happy to send more photos and information, if asked. He is also happy to accept returns, if you're not satisfied with any item, at your own cost. He accepts PayPal, but will add on the fee to the price. He answers emails very promptly.

Rebornpipes (Steve Laug) is a great resource if you're looking for hints on restoration/refurbishing.

I hope this information is useful. The members here are extremely generous with their advice. If you have any specific queries feel free to PM me.

Thnak you so very much.. This sounds hopeful. I will just have to wait and see if the pipes do arrive. Good lesson learnt

I assumed they provided tracking? Things sometimes take a while with customs.

Yes that is true.. It was purchased from France

I recently received a pipe last week from an EBay vendor in France. It took over one month.
I suggest contacting your vendor or EBay (if that is where you bought from) if you still have not received your order

Leon, apa khabar and welcome. I'm a JB boy born and bred, now in the US Pacific NW. I'm sorry to hear how tough things are in Malaysia. The lockdowns have hit people hard. Hopefully you haven't lost anyone close to you. Good luck on your package.

I assumed they provided tracking? Things sometimes take a while with customs.I spoke to the guy and he explained if the pipes do not arrive by th eend of this month he will provide a 50% refund. Which is fair I guess. I will just have to pray that it arrives ?

Hi and khabar baik. Unfortunately we just lost an uncle and an aunty 2 days back one after another. Such is life I guess. Things are rather bad. I was just asked to take a 50% pay cut today. I just pray my pipes arrive. My IG is called pipa Kayu Kayan. It is not official yet as the pipes are missing ? so I'm not posting anything on insta yet just 2pics taken so far. Thank you and it is really nice to see the support given here. Thank you again.
