btw: my tracking still says the parcel is in china… 
I’ve placed a bunch of orders in the last few months. Delivery times have been acceptable at 3-4 weeks. Other sellers are getting stuff to me much faster, but GB has a bigger product catalog and they usually beat any other seller on price soundly.
So on some of these items I don’t mind waiting. They haven’t made a mistake on any of my orders, either, and I’ve been pleased with all my items. While I’ve never approved of some of their early antics on this board, they have been a pretty solid seller for me. But yeah, it would be nice if they were a little faster. I just got that $9.99 XM-L2 flashlight yesterday and I’m impressed with the quality of it and the tight hot spot.
placed an order on 26th Sept, the item claimed to be in stock.
On my account it says ‘shipped’ also says ‘processing’ and NL registered post says ‘Pending’
Has it been sent or is it normal to sit on an order for almost 2weeks?
That link gives me an estimation of 7-14 days to the US. A conflicting “ESTIMATED” time of 7-25 is given when choosing a shipping method when ordering!
Perhaps we should add the two and the estimation would more realistically be 14-39 days. Just sayin.
Remember the commercials for Energizer batteries, where they have the toy rabbit, beating a drum? They say “Nothing outlasts an Energizer.” Well, now I know what they mean! This time of “nothing” while I wait on a tracking system that is not tracking anything at all, (another “nothing”) really does seem to keep going, and going, and going, and…
Gave up on receiving my third extension for my Yezl Y3 and ordered another. Not worth the frustration of a PayPal dispute for $2.99.
I am a bit jealous …my 5 extension tubes are somewhere in Spain… :_(

As for the shipping days, it means “business days”(Monday to Friday, not including the Holidays and Festivals)

Hope my answers have helped you!

DavidEF, that was Duracell
What I’d like to know is… Just how long does Gearbest take to ship out an order?
I ordered something on the 2nd October and my order is “still processing” as of today, 9th Oct.
???
If it’s shipped out under 2 weeks you are lucky. They say 2 to 4 weeks.
I kinda feel sorry for CSgearbest. Always having to apologise for gearbest.
He/she is always nice and polite. Always replying quickly. Too bad the store sucks
Bangla, there were holidays from 1.–7.october…
Gearbest said that mine shipped on October 3rd, would that be accurate, or was that a holiday?
Hmm… Stuff I ordered from Banggood (around the same day) and IOS were shipped out
Oct 4th and 5th

I have two orders, the later fell into the holiday situation that you mentioned the first was shipped on the 30 September.
My point regarding shipping estimated time is that TWO times are given 7-14 days on the link you gave and 7-25 days is the time frame given when ordering.
thanks,
Matt
Missing order Placed on Aug.19 shipped on Aug 26
Order #W1408191315290120
I ordered on 10/1 and was notified of shipping today by email, 10/9.
I ordered on 29 September and my order just shipped with NL Post, but it’s surface mail!
First time using GB but with all of my previous orders from similar online stores it’s always been air mail.
Hi BanglaBob, sorry about it, could you please send me your order number, so I can check it for you.
Hi Box, thanks for your kindly words for my working, I’m so appreciated. And the item which is not in stock
needs some more days than usually to ship it out, sorry this time it bothers you. Our store will improve this
gradually.
Hi brad, during holidays most of our staffs are off work, but still it has some staffs on the duties. However, the
working still can’t be compared with the weekdays, hope you can understand, and be glad that your order is
shipped on October 3rd, you are lucky.
Hi Ricez, could you please send me your order number, so I can check it for you.
Ordered Xintd X3 Y3 & 2 battery carriers as separate orders. Paid for tracking on the x3 and left a note asking they be shipped together.
Result? They were shipped separately on the same day, and neither has tracking.
Not impressed.
Edit: X3, not Y3.
