Well you are exactly right…… same order & delivery date. Our packages might have hung out together for a bit in China…… 
First sign of mine in the USA is Hebron, Kentucky according to tracking. It got here real quick after that too.
Yeah, the prices are strange. We could not send it in that direction for even close to the same price they send it to us. :question:
Anyone try the new options? Instead of ‘Priority Direct’, there’s ‘Priority Line:’ with the options of.
- USA Express ($2.35)
For me. I’m guessing ‘USA Express’ is the same as ‘Priority Direct: USA Express’, but what about the other??
EDIT: I thought ‘Priority Line’ was a new thing because I keep seeing people mention ‘Priority Direct’, an option I can’t find. Looking back though it seems ‘Priority Line’ has been available for a while. Still don’t see anything that explains what the difference might be between ‘USA Express’ and ‘USA Line’.
USA Express is through International Bridge (IB)…my personal favorite at this point.
BUT, I am doing an experiment at present time comparing all the shipping options at Banggood & GearBest to see which one wins. I’ll post the final results when they are all in.
So far GearBest USA EXPRESS (IB) is in the lead… beating both Bangood Free & Priority by several days. AND…. Banggood Free beat Banggood Priority by a day…. how funny.
This “test” was done for three of the same light ordered within minutes of each other the same day.
In process now is GearBest Free vs GearBest Priority Line / USA Line. Same lights orders placed within minutes of each other the same day.
We shall see… but I am thinking Priority Line / USA Express (IB) will hold on to the title… for me in this “test” anyway.
YMMV
.
Yeah, if I ever get a decent order again where it’s worth it†, I’m definitely going with IB. Great tracking, hands off to the USPS for its tracking, too, so I can check both.
† But not when it’s a “limit-1, no combining, nothing else in the order” order. Then, it just doesn’t pay.
Yep, well said LB. I just did this as an experiment.
And funny thing is there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how they charge also. Sometimes for similarly priced items it is cheaper to ship the larger than the smaller… Makes no sense.

Any update on your experience with USA Line? Is it still in transit?
Interesting you should ask…. The results are in, I’ll be posting detailed results later today…… time allowing.
But the short version is this……
GearBest / USA Express / International Bridge is the winner (as expected)
Banggood FREE SHIPPING beat Banggood PAID SHIPPING by 1 day.
GearBeast FREE SHIPPING ……… SuX. No sign of it, dtill waiting
ALL Tracking numbers from GearBest worked 100% correctly
NONE of the Tracking Numbers from Banggood worked at all… They were TOTALLY useless.
So based on this “test” & (about 40 other packages delived to me by GB / IB).
GearBest/ International Bridge is the way to go for paid.
FREE SHIPPING is Banggood (very impressive delivery time)
More details later on times.
EDIT: Oh yeah…. GearBest / USA Line …. was by FED EX Smart Post. Not impressive ar all. On par with, or slightly worse than Banggood FREE or PAID.
OK………… here is a link to the results.
My 3d printer I ordered has been sitting in international bridges warehouse in china Awaiting International flight-Airline Inspection for 4 days now so hopefully it gets on the airplane soon. Although its Saturday tomorrow so it will probably be another 3 days before it leaves there warehouse in china. lol :I
Oh well…. report back when it gets delivered. Total days from order to delivery. That is what counts.
