Wilesco M47 Vironator
« on: May 14, 2020, 12:37:40 pm »
Couldn´t ignore the obvious threat from Covid-19 anymore, so had to invest in a proper "Vironator"  8)

It´s a limited run by Wilesco, during the Covid-19 crisis, where €5 is donated to Tafel Deutschland, a German charity organisation.

Personally i purchased mine from Peter Schaefer, who owns the Ebay store "Peter´s Drehscheibe", since he is my favourite "parts-pusher" when it comes to Wilesco.
Peter generally offers great prices, understand english in writing, and most importantly ships worldwide at very reasonable rates.

Now that's a brilliant way to put a good spin on a global pandemic and bring in funds for a charitable cause, while at the same time creating a unique collectable that will be a sought after antique some hundred years hence!

I ordered through Peter and agree his worldwide shipping price is very low. I am hoping Wilesco won't let me down and that Peter will get more in stock!

Dear Mr. Severson,
 
many thanks for your nice order from May 14, 2020! Unfortunately, as usual, we cannot send your wishing "VIRUNATOR" (Art. M 47, special model) immediately! Despite binding confirmation, WILESCO do not send our delivery punctual in/for this week. Backgrund will be, that WILESCO works momentary (since 1st week of April) short-time (Monday-Wednesday/week), therefore there are delays in production and delivery.
 
Next delivery to us starts on Monday or Tuesday (May 15. or 16.), cause on May 21 was public holiday, we think to get shipments for end next week. After arriving we ship immediately when models will be again on store!
We hope for your understanding, cause momentary nothing runs around as in normal times!! Please note our biggest sorry for this actual bad / not normally situation.
 
You know that you can trust our service, so we guarantee promptly shipping if we can!
So much as actual info for you.
Thanks for your understanding and stay healthy!!
 
Kindly regards
 
PETER`S DREHSCHEIBE
 
Your Peter Schaefer

Have similar issues myself, but the other way around (Stateside -> Europe).
Problem seems to be, that several shippers use passenger airlines, and not dedicated freight flights to haul their goods.
Passenger flights have been more or less completely grounded, besides specific evacuation flights of own citizens, due to Covid-19 lock-downs of passenger airports.
Hopefully we´ll see some relief soon, seing that borders is starting to open again...at least here in northern Europe.

I ordered one too from him.

Not in a hurry; so, we will see what happens.
