I recently made my first purchase ever from Neal’s Gadgets - an Amutorch AT40 in dual XP-L HI config (I haven’t even seen XP-L offered elsewhere - only Nichia and XP-G3).

FASTEST FREE SHIPPING EVER!

Ordered Jan. 28 at 16:30.
Shipping notification received Jan. 29 at 11:30.
Light received at my door Feb. 1, 20:00.

I have a feeling Neal’s gonna be getting a lot more money from me in the future!

Because there are 19 flights a day from Hong Kong International to Changi Airport Singapore. Just looked it up.

Of course things from China will reach here faster, but I don’t think I’ve ever had something take less than a week. Usually it’s still about 2 weeks or more. He shipped it using DPEX which is an express carrier. Most things from China come by the cheapest, slowest mail possible.

I hear ya. The fastest anything I’ve had make it to the US from China is about 6 days. e-Packet about 4 or 5 yrs ago used to be the way to go. Now it’s one of the worst. I used to order a lot of items from Fasttech, and items arrived withing 6 to 8 days via e-packet. The e-packet agreement had to be re-negotiated since the US was being financially screwed by the Chinese government mail system. I think the original agreement had the e-packet sorting separated from the rest and was given priority. Obviously, not anymore.

I had the opposite experience with a Firefly E07. Tracking showed it was tendered on 14 December, and the disappears until turning up in New York on 17 January! I did get it a few days later, but I wasn’t real happy with the disappearance for more than 30 days.

Lol, you got lucky! It took him 2 week to mail mine, but it only took 3 days to get to US from China cause I paid extra for DHL shipping.

I think I was also lucky to order right before Chinese New Year, so he was probably trying extra hard to get the orders out.

Unfortunately this is not a rule. I ordered PL47 on Dec 30, received on Feb 1 (order #1740). Sending notice came after 19 days.

On the lower right hand side of his website, there is a blue “Send us a message” you can click to ask for anything like codes, etc.:

We were talking about 19 flights a day from Shenzhen China to Singapore. Not Shenzhen to Poland.

November thru Feb are the busiest months in China. Christmas throughout the world, 11-11, and CNY.

Like mic6 said it is about LOCATION!

I ordered my SAMSUNG 50E on 1.15.2019 at 6:26am. They confirmed order on 1.15.2019 at 8:14am……….I received it/Picked Up at 9:52am on 1.15.2019! :+1:

oh,yes,I forgot to tell you the Shipping was ALSO FREE!

Liionwholesale which is 0.9miles from my house! :smiley:

P.S. as far as Neal goes I ordered twice from him,waiting for second package……….First one took 23 days from China to Eastern USA….

I have ordered a total of about Twelve times from China. NONE of them compare to the Customer service I get from Liionwholesale,including Neal which took Four emails before he finally responded to this last order. :person_facepalming:
