At least 2019 is going to be a great year lol.
Finally got an update to my tracking. The package that was shipped from China, by airline, October 31, arrived in New York at 9 pm, Nov 17. That’s a 17 day flight from China to USA.
Yeah, when I ordered a bodycam, I never expected to get a whole body with it.
Since the most shops don’t have warehouses themselves, all they do is order the part from a bigger company to you and mark the order as shipped…
That’s what happened for me. It took 14 days from ordering to receiving.
Yeah, it seems if you order from stores at A.E. that advertise here, you get them reliably and fairly quickly most of the time.
Otherwise, I’m about through ordering from A.E. unless the store is aboard here on BLF. I just went through 2 more disputes with them and luckily Paypal came to the rescue.
My go to Chinese dealer is still Fasttech. 7-8 orders in past several months and they’ve always come through.
Ordered Raspberry Pi heatsinks (copper / aluminum 2 sets of 2 each). The order was paid on Feb 13th. The seller just sent me a message tonight that they’ll ship it soon. Almost 3 weeks have passed and there is still no date for a shipment.
This isn’t the first time this happened and all these stores have stellar feedback profile (98.8% or better).
I really am through with ordering from AE! Three orders and two I have to file disputes! Like I said, one was refunded by AE and thankfully the other was refunded by PayPal! If you still want to order from AE, make sure they accept PP!
Like your experience USA, the AE store tells me they received my PAID order and it will be shipped soon. A couple of weeks go by and then they say it’s been shipped. Then more weeks go by and nothing. When I placed my orders, both stores said the items were in stock. When I finally put in a dispute, both admitted they weren’t in stock or couldn’t ship them because of postal limitations. WTF?
I’m soured on AE! Use at your own risk!
I only order from known & trusted stores on AE. That usually leads to a more pleasant & harmonious experience for me. 
Looked fast, thought you wrote “pleasant and humorous”…
