Thank you Lightbringer and JasonWW. That both answers my question, and gives me confidence that this advanced technology will be in my possession soon enough. :+1:
Like he said, once it hits āsnailmailā it moves pretty fast, but itās the barge coasting across the ocean that takes most of the time. That, and sitting on the docks in a cargo container, being packed/unpacked, etc.
I once ordered 2 lights from Sofirn within a day or so. First one mustāve just caught the tail end of the still-got-room barge and I got that pretty quickly, but the second one missed the boat, literally, and took a month or more.
āRegular shipmentsā across the ocean are pretty much āwhenever the barge gets filledā. Neither Sofirn nor the USPS have any control over that. Talk to Maersk or whoever.
I could be wrong donāt think this stuff is going by sea. It may be sitting around waiting for an air container that has an extra few cubic inches at a reduced rate though. Or getting routed through various countries in order to arbitrage international post agreements.
For me, the longest delay is caused by packages sitting in US Customs - these cheap Chinese packages have the lowest priority, and US Customs is overwhelmed with all the little packages coming from China, so they sit, and sit, and sitā¦
