Hi..
I would like to ask if there is really a delay of transaction this days? Because some were making excuses for payment now, they said that transaction really delay.

A transaction is alway broadcasted in a matter of seconds... It's possible the transaction remains unconfirmed for a while if the sender cheaped out on the fees.

At this moment, the recommanded fee to have a 95% chance of getting into the next 3 blocks is 110 sat/byte. This is still reasonable. It has been lower, but it certainly has been higher: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

In other words: the people making excuses saying that there is a transaction delay are not telling the truth... If they need to fund one of your addresses, they can do so in a matter of seconds, and if they didn't cheap out on the fee, their transactions will be confirmed in less than 30 minutes (on average).
