And for anyone that knows their geography New Zealand is WEST of Chile and the ash is travelling EAST - so it has travelled a tremendous distance. Australia is (or at least was) also affected.
(Actually, all I know is that flights have been cancelled due to ash and that my kobo is in transit between the US and New Zealand so has probably been held up - I ordered 12 days ago and usually goods from the US arrive about now).

I had ordered a new saxophone mouthpiece from USA about this time and it arrived in a week (about the normal time for deliveries), so I would ask your supplier what exactly is happening. Sounds like a bit of a convenient excuse to me- the flights weren't grounded for weeks on end.
