Hi everyone! I’m from Mexico and I’m a bit worried about my recent AliExpress order.
I placed a combined order for some clothes on April 21st. Everything was moving fine until it arrived at the local airport on April 27th. Since then, the status hasn't changed, and today I received this update:

"We are sorry, but due to high demand, shipments are taking longer than usual. We are doing everything possible to ship the order as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience."

Usually, all my orders arrive at my doorstep without issues, but I've never seen this "high demand" message before.
• Has anyone else in Mexico (or elsewhere) received this specific message recently?
• Is it common for packages to get stuck at the local airport for a week or more due to "high demand"?
• Should I be worried about it being lost, or is this just a standard delay?
The estimated delivery was April 30th - May 4th, so it’s right on the edge. I’d appreciate any insights or similar experiences! Thanks!
