Wow: my items arrived today just ten days from China

Ten days ago I ordered two KF16 flanges to hose connections. They arrived today (UK), just ten days, a record for my china orders and faster than many orders arrive from within the UK.

What website did you order from?

I ordered something small and cheap from China off eBay. it said it would take over 2 months to arrive, which I was fine with. But it is now in the US after just 24 days. Hopefully I get it soon!

Had a similarly pleasant surprise just now:

Ordered some electronic parts for my CNC milling machine, shipped from ShenZhen, China on 10/10/2020. Tracking shows departing China on 10/14/2020 and arriving in CA, USA on 10/15/2020. It appears I'll be receiving it this coming Monday 10/21.

Pretty cool! I was expecting 2 to 3 weeks.

Some vendors use speedpak/EMS shipping which is fast. This is the reason I have a dedicated supplier from which I order everything, because the parcels routinely arrive fast. My latest order was shipped in Sep 2nd and arrived yesterday, and this took longer than usual. It's not like express services, but it also costs like 2 euros.

Yes, that was shipped with SpeedPack. I'm quite happy to be getting the package in about a week!
