Thanks you both for input and therapy!
Most important part is that I get it. At least I know it is in USA and not stuck in China with no movement. Eventually it will get here. I am a Trackaholic also! Waiting and hoping for that track that reveals a NEW scan and movement closer to my home. It is 2400 miles/3863KM away!
Yup, probably all that!
I do understand those, and I am not necessarily complaining, despite the wait.
But as I had other (not so small) packages falling behind their drawers there, I always get a bit aprehensive!
Hopefully, I hope that the order from Convoy brings the package I’m getting from you too, as it was already received by customs, and also because I need it to mod some stuff I ordered from Convoy :innocent:
This shipping situation does stink, but theres not much we can do about it.
I have an LT1 from Sofirn thats been stuck at the airport in Nanning, CN since 4/7. Parts from Hank shipped via Singapore Post that were “dispatched overseas” since 4/29, and a flashing kit that is completely MIA since it was shipped a week or two ago.
I dont think ive ever had a package from any overseas seller arrive in under 3-4 weeks with standard shipping and I live 10 minutes from a regional USPS hub.
I ordered a couple things in April and I knew shipping was going to take a while. So I just deleted all the shipping emails and try to forget. Then one day I’ll have a surprise. Or I’ll go to look for another light and realize that I never got something.
I see that you edited the beginning of your post. I have seen that word “Meh” on here and never anywhere else. so I looked it up.
People might think you’re a very bad-mannered person altogether. Meh is designed to be rude and dismissive - a sure-fire conversation-stopper. Users of the word are unequivocal in their total indifference to what is being discussed.
expressing a lack of interest or enthusiasm.
“Meh. I’m not impressed so far”
A bit different in explanation.
Right now there are at least 4 things affecting China shipping/commerce ;
1.Political unrest with Hong Kong
2. War of words and wills between their administration and the USA administration.
3.Flare ups of Covid
4. Less air package/people travel.
Now on our side of the pond we have slower customs, add it all up and it is slow boat time.
Shipping my KR4 took almost 40 days, usually its 2-3 weeks
From Canada here, my KR4 was shipped the on the first of April and today it had its first update at 50 days since email indicating shipment. 9 days without an update seems like a cake walk…… I mean its on the correct continent. 
Indeed so. Compared to your waiting time 9 days is a cake walk. 
Mentioned that[Canadian issues] in beginning of post. It is just something I never experienced or expected. If anything I would have thought the most travel time would have been how long it took to arrive in USA, not the delivery time once it got here.
If Muto is right, the only thing it can be is slower USA customs.
All I can do is Wait and check my tracking Twenty times a day. :confounded:
I ordered 4 cheap 18350 cases two weeks ago. Showed up in 10 frigging days. I never saw anything that quick even before this pandemic. Tracking shows it did ship from Shenzhen. So WTH lol.
You are right in terms of 3 months vs. Two weeks. However, as I indicated in my OP, Two or Three weeks is no big deal and is Not my complaint and frustration, it is the fact that for 9 days it is stagnant and has done nothing. That is my whole point.
Three of my orders from last March are still in China or out over the Pacific Ocean somewhere.
Did anybody hear a splash?
Two more recent orders from April and May show, new since yesterday, as having reached California.
Thanks for the info that
In my job one of my duties involves completing applications and finishing contracts for people. The paperwork and documentation parts are pretty quick, but the from time you submit it and the time it’s finished can be 2, 3, or 5 months depending on the company, delays, etc. When the contractors or applicants ask me for status updates after only a month in, I tell them hurry up amd wait. I’m doing the same with my Chinese orders. Got some stuff ordered in March, but nothing from April yet!
My KR4 took 40 days as well. Was stuck for several weeks in Belgium.
its weird as some times its fast and sometimes its crazy slow to finland
ive got a package stuff at customs since 14/05
normally its 2 days max at customs
Possible that packages are intentionally being held to let any corovirus germs die out?
Maybe no one wants to even touch ’em ’til they’re “safe”.
Not a chance. It took my package 5 days from China to here
If you google…How long can the COVID-19 stay on a cardboard box you will get plenty to read. All of which say it can live up to 24 hours on a card board box.
The Virus can Not last on a box from over seas to USA. Saw a program on that with medical doctors.
“A recent study has also found that coronavirus can live on cardboard up to 24 hours.”
The risk more so arises between pickup by the delivery person, drop off at the home and thereafter.
If they really want to be safe rather than waiting it out they could toss things into a UV treatment chamber and just blast the container and release the packages quickly. :sunglasses:
This called for a tad bit more analyzing.
From the time it left Hong Kong until it arrived in LA was 22 Hours 15 minutes. They could have quarantined the package for a few hours and it would be ready to go. It has been 9 days! :smiling_imp:
Good concept but very time consuming and unnecessary. :innocent: We would wait until Christmas to get our lights.
