I got mine I a small. Threaded clear plastic container,sorry I tried to upload pictures from photo bucket and they changed so anyone who has Ice Cream android,system acter I just figured it can’t upload dang it!!!
For me it has changed hugely since all these stuff arounds with the international post. I used to get orders the quickest from WB, then IOS and FT were the slowest. It seems now that WB and FT are about the same, both slow, and IOS is the slowest. But IOS has the best range of components, so I keep going back! haha
Speed really doesn't matter to me .I am comforted to know that ios is a solid player who will take care of any problems I have ..never track shipments they come when they come and thats life .My guess is they are a little over 3 weeks .Like I said I'm comforted to know I don't need to start sweating a paypal dispute .Ilike dealing with a company that will take care of business .So far ios is 100% .thats rare for chinese vendors imho
What has always bothered me is when a vendor says that the parcel has been posted on a given date and when I receive the parcel 5 weeks later, I see that the real posting stamp date is 2 weeks later than what they claimed. I don’t mind waiting for processing time, but deliberately lying about the posting date is a no no.
Normally it takes 2-3 weeks for a parcel to arrive, so when it’s still not here after 5 weeks, I know something is not right.
I ordered a host and noctigon (no cells) on the 4th Nov - dispactched 5th Nov and still waiting. I know I should be patient but really would be happy to pay extra to receive things within 2 weeks in the future.
But the problem is, is this delay the result of the Chinese Postal Services, or IOS? Perhaps it may take 3 days to get the order out, but that still only represents perhaps 10% of the total shipping time we are commonly seeing reported.
Some have speculating that IOS uses another service to deliver parcels to their international courier, but because that first service is based on tortoises, it doesn't actually post for a couple weeks.
I believe that they first wait a couple of weeks for the parcels grow little feet to be able to auto-deliver. the tortoise service is called after the parcels have failed to grow the said feet.
