He uses bamboo root as opposed to the stems. Gives them a surreal appearance.

Got shipped out of the US to Poland.
Lesson learned, no more imports.

What happened? Is it due to the origin being Russia?
Don't know, USPS isn't giving me any answers. Members of another forum order his pipes regularly without a hitch.
I’ve had issues in the past buying from Russia. It seems totally random what they decide can’t come through and what can. Someone could have got a hair up their ass about the bamboo
That sucks but don't give up hope. The pipe should eventually make it to you.
And he can try again. At least they weren't lost.
Rats. Hope he is given enough information to come up with a solution.

They are gorgeous. Really unusual as well which makes them eye catching. Perhaps they need a layover in a more USA friendly country en route. ?
This one made it to me (eventually), so I'm crossing my fingers for you!
That pipe has more air miles than me!

The way that thing is jumping around I think Andrey sent me a box of grasshoppers.?
It’s always amazing. The time, money and energy used for all that back and forth.
I do hope it arrives safely, it's a thing of beauty.
The three Dec 17 entries look like duplicates of the three Nov 28 entries. I suspect your pipes are in the US and contrary to appearances weren't sent back to Poland.
This would be my guess as well. I seriously doubt the package went back to Poland then back to the USA in two days.
