The site clearly states 10 to 25 days in shipping. Since it's just a project that I'm messing around with, it's not essential that it gets here next week.

Interestingly, the next option would be to pay to have it shipped, which was projected at 7 to 23 days. Not much difference there, huh?

As a fellow Gearhead....

Tom, I hope whatever modifications you make are blog worthy. I would love to see what you do to a design like the A080/Looker zero two.

Well, I pulled the trigger on Tuesday, and I didn't get a notice that it shipped until this morning. I'm guessing that epacket probably waits until they get a certain number or certain weight to send.

The package tracking isn't particularly helpful, either. It's still 6 to 23 days. Fortunately, it's not like I'm in a rush.

Just an update.

I placed the order on the 14th. It took a week before I got the notice that it shipped, and then it was in some kind of limbo until the 23rd, when I got a notice that it was in the postal system. The last expected arrival date I saw was June 20th - but I don't know if that was just the longest estimate or what.

I ordered mine from a different DHGate reseller and have had nearly the same experience. It took a solid week before it shipped, it went to the port city, it sat in Customs for a day or so and then nothing for another week.

Mine hit the USA sometime on May 20th (it doesn't say where) so I assume it has to clear US Customs and then into the US Mail.

It could be anywhere from today to June 4th (their official estimate on the site).

I just got a note that mine is now in the US postal system. I'm a bit surprised, although I have no idea if that means it's in the US, or if it's still in China at a USPS depot.

Well, apparently my package was not traveling on a slow boat from China. It landed at JFK yesterday, and is already in the USPS someplace in New England. I could possibly have it tomorrow or early next week.

That's a far cry from the end of June, which was the last delivery date that I'd seen.

And it was waiting for me in the mailbox when I got home. That was surprisingly quick.

The unit is pretty decent, although I have some workmanship and design comments. I may not get to them until later in the weekend.

18 days in total. Not too bad for the "slow boat."
