How long does standard shipping to the UK take these days?

Been a year or so since I last ordered from ND and these days it feels like everything is taking longer than usual to arrive, so was just wondering what kind of delivery times people have experienced
What they were answering

Would it be feasible to leave some kind of DDU shipping option in place?
The average shipping time is 1 month(some shipments taking 2 months to arrive) but I really don't care about that.
Because I live in the EU and my country already assesses taxes and duties on every parcel if it comes outside of the EU. They just do it automatically, calculating the taxes of the values declared on the outside and sending an e-mail with: here pay this and you can collect your parcel.
Since the values are lower that means I have to pay 5-15USD on a 150USD order. Now with a DDP if that changes to 45-60USD on the same 150USD order... Yeah, I'm not sure I can swallow that kind of pricehike with my budget.
So definitely 1 vote on the luck of the draw system.

We may leave a DDU option for the EU as well. We will have to see how all these changes affect things. Unfortunately, I think you guys are in for a bad time here in a few months once everything goes live. We are being told they are gearing up to basically inspect almost every package, then cross-reference retail prices and either assess full duties on all of it, or straight up reject packages altogether. These changes technically already went into place legally, but they have not fully implemented things and gave a grace period. That period is ending very soon.
