my recent experience with BG is good, the fastest item arrived was 10 days.

Nice. Thanks!

Now, from about 2 month ago, the GB shipping fees to Uruguay are too expensive

Average shipping to me in S Africa from both banggood and gearbest is 9 weeks, tracking shows at least half that time is after arrival in the country. :frowning:

Just placed a order 08.03.2017 @ 2030

Banggood free shipping, Will update in the future for anyone that cares or comes across this thread.

Hello me in the future. spoookeeey :person_facepalming:

My last order from BangGood with priority direct shipping took 7 days.

Me package is here. 8.14.2017 11 days from date order placed.

So far Banggood is A-Ok in my book for shipping.

NCD (new charger day) a thing? LiitoKala Lii-500

My 26650/18650 series connector are not here yetā€¦ been 23 daysā€¦ :frowning:

Need a much larger test to get accurate results. Out of a ton of orders, there is no clear winner. Sometimes a vendor will get it here in a week or so and other times that same vendor will take 6 or 8 weeks. Order and forget until it shows up, write down the order dates and every week or so check that it is not getting to the paypal deadline.

I recently placed an order on GB, 6 items and the weight was 1.2Kg. The only shipping options were free 15-25 days and $7.54 via sweden post, crazy thing is that the paid shipping method says 15-30 days.

I chose free shipping at the time, but later realized if I removed one specific item from the cart the priority line option shows up. Already contacted GB to cancel that item and ship the rest via priority lineā€¦

Update on this. It took 14 days. The package spent quite a number of days sitting somewhere in Cali, in customs possibly, waiting to be handed over to FedEx.

thanks, that one finds my gearbest order from Sept 14, and says the package in the USA since Sept 25 (11 days after I ordered), but as of today, another 12 days later, there is no record at Fedex nor USPS of the package

none of the other tracking sites can find my order,
nor does the gearbest order tracking work, it says:
Sorry, your shipping information has not updated yet!

So far it has been 23 days and no Joy

my last Gearbest order took 21 days to my door
my last Banggood order took 14 days to my door

Gearbest is sloooow, and not my first choice, if I can find the item on Banggood, I will buy there first

First order from banggood still waitingā€¦

Shipped Sep/03/2017 22:06:09

shipped with the free standard registeredā€¦ not sure whats going on if i knew this crazy slow i would glady paid for the slighty expensive shipping, the 7-25 days on free is clearly a jokeā€¦

also have an order from gearbest a nitecore tip that was shipped also with standard i think, shall be interesting if that gets here first.

2017-10-06 11:05:15Item is ready for transport

But gearbest so far has never let me down, usually within 2 weeks or so i have always got my stuff. Compared to banggood that might be my first and only order.

Hereā€™s my experience:

Between Sept. 22 and Sept. 30, I placed 3 orders each with Banggood (22nd, 26th, and the 27th) and Gearbest (23rd, 27th, and 30th).

The Banggood orders (totals came to $37, $19, and $59) all included free shipping, reported as shipped in the next day, and the tracking numbers worked. All 3 packages are currently inside the U.S. & on track to be delivered in under 20 days.

The Gearbest orders (totals came to $14, $43, and $18) had shipping fees of $2 - $5, took 5-6 days to report as shipped, and all the tracking numbers simply report back as ā€œpackage info sent to FedEx/UPSā€, with 17track, Package Radar, and Aftership all failing to find the current location of the packages. So I have no idea when these packages are due to arrive, but I doubt it is anytime soon, as I would think FedEx and UPS would give more information if they were in the country.

Me too... I always get one. It is a bit challenging to use at first.

They ship here in the US FedEx Smart Post. The tracking number will be at the bottom of the invoice page. Go to FedEx to track and until it lands in the US it will say label created. It woll also have a reference number at the bottom of the FedEx tracking. Take that number and got to 17track and enter it. That will track it the whole way.

Once FedEx gets it they deliver it to your local post office and USPS makes final delivery.

Out of over probably 40 or 50 transactions Ithey average 13 days. Only 1 has ever gone past 14 days and that is the Q8 which according to tracking in at the Airport about to leave Hong Kong...

Yeah, I got 3 FedEx packages seemingly stuck at ā€œLabel createdā€ for a coupla weeks.

Timewise, I havenā€™t seen all that much difference between ā€œuntrackedā€ (Azerbaijan Post) and tracked (various). A little over 3wks for untracked, just about 3wks for tracked. Seems to be a few days difference at most.

For AzPost, they go pretty quickly until ā€œtransit center, left hand navigationā€ (wtf??), then a flurry of messages, then forever stuck in ā€œUS, the transfer of customsā€. When it finally shakes loose, itā€™s another few days ā€™til it wends its way through the USPS.

What bugs me is that the USPS changed all their email alerts Now itā€™s only ā€œpackage receivedā€ and then boom, a week later, ā€œdeliveredā€. Wtf?? I used to get all the various status messages, in Chicago ISC, in New York ISC, in Brooklyn Distribution Center, in Queens Distribution Center, in Flushing, in transit to the post office, in the post office, out for delivery, delivered. And all the other steps in-between (incl. arrived at, departed, for each one, etc.).

Iā€™m hitting the USPS site several times per day for each package, just to see the status. Was much nicer to just see the status messages roll into my inbox. So much for ā€œsimplifyingā€ thingsā€¦

Anyway, never ordered anything from BG yet, but GB seems to be kinda consistent, or at least the carriers do.

Iā€™m just waiting for about a dozen things to shake loose from customsā€¦ :zipper_mouth_face:

Hahaā€¦ yup, my Lii-100 from GB via Azerbaijan post has been stuck in ā€œtransfer of customsā€ since 9/27. Getting a little annoyedā€¦

Hmm, one of those stuck-in-customs packages from AzPost just came today. Acto the status, itā€™s still in customs. :smiley:

Hopefully the rest will start trickling inā€¦

Ordered a light from Gearbest on Sept 10, it arrived on Oct 10ā€¦ 30 days
tracking worked until it reached US Customs on Sept 25. 15 days from order till US arrival at customs
No other trackingā€¦ zero USA trackingā€¦ 15 days from arrival in US Customs until delivered to California.

slowest order Ive had yet, from any vendor. But it got here :slight_smile:
