I recently purchased 3 things from 2 different vendors, both from the NL and none have arrived yet. It is day 11 and 12 for both of them, and from past experience, i know they always arrive 3 days after transit.
I am within Europe and i have received their stuff before using the same listings.
I received stuff from other countries this week (also 3 days in transit) flawlessly, but not from the Netherlands.
Is it possible that something has gone down in Holland? Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

There's always been problems reported all over the forum of not receiving packages from Holland. I haven't heard of anything in particular recently but it seems to be almost expected that packages sometimes don't arrive.

First depends what country you're from...
I am Dutch but I don't ship from NL because of the bad result in general with TNT and -very important- that bad reputation we have because of our free drugs policy.
I send orders from NL to Belgium and England they always arrive.
Other countries Germany, France etc. not from Holland but always from Belgium.
Scandinavia of course from Belgium.
From NL/scandinavia 80%+ chance of seizure
Everything coming from Holland will raise attention.
I think when sending to USA etc. from NL 50+% will not make it.
I ship all over the world from Belgium with a 99% success rate.
If you're smart, don't order from NL...sorry guys.
Dutch vendors should take a reshipper from Belgium or UK.
Or drive to the border (as I do 4 x a week)
Have fun and stay safe
