Hey, the rivnuts I ordered in October showed up.

They sent the wrong size.

Just curious, is this something you could've bought locally? One can only assume that you are in no rush to get these items.

Incorrect, amigo.
I was responding to this from below: "when YOUR out of the country"
Who is the dummy now?

Ordered some phone parts from eBay shipping from China in mid September... showed up yesterday. Good ol' 6 month arrival. Pro: Free shipping. Con: dont hold your breath.

Probably, I had a local supplier before, but they closed up shop a while back and I haven't bothered to find another since. No rush whatsoever, they were a random cheap "oh gee I could use a few of those" purchase on Amazon, any fasteners I need in the short term I pick up locally unless they're really obscure. I was trying to find a M3x0.5x4 countersunk screw recently and there wasn't anywhere in town that had them, had to resort to eBay.

Your, you're - it's really not all that difficult to figure out where to use each very distinct word.

Has anyone ordered anything from Taiwan lately? I ordered some bike parts that just arrived today and only took 3 weeks to get here. I was shocked to see it since I was prepared to wait until April or May.

was shipping free for that item?

overall, from my experience if it's free shipping from China/HK then the item will arrive in 2 months, if i had to pay something then couple of days/weeks.

just had 2 items refunded, ordered beginning of January and still hasn't arrive, one is a down jacket so ill be pissed if it shows up in May

Yup. And they were $10+ cheaper than other auctions for the same things too so it's not like upgraded shipping was built into the buy-now price.

I ordered some craft stuff from hershners canada (comes from the states) and It took about two weeks to arrive. About 5 days after I ordered, I realized I ordered some of the wrong stuff. I called the company and they said my stuff was waiting at the border.

Also, I ordered some stuff from amazon, Feb 4 shipped from the UK. Estimated delivery Feb 27... Still not here. So based on this I have to say that part of the problem might be some bs going on at the customs borders??

Still really backed up on China stuff.

Thankfully McMaster-Carr now ships to Canada, although it's through Purolator

Wow just got an order from November 1 today. It arrived with "RTS Delivered To Wrong Address" hand-written on it. My boss received one as well with the same thing written on it. I guess our mailman screwed up recently but I doubt that's the reason for all of the delay.

I just had three e-packets show up less than 2 weeks after I ordered them. Definitely going to make sure every order uses epacket now and yell if I pay for it and they use regular post.

Quick update, my stuff from the Uk (feb order) arrived today as well as the China shipment from either October or January came in. We will see if the second "re ship" from China comes in. This makes me believe it's totally a backlog at the Canada border

What gets me is the stuff I order from amazon that ends up being from china. Going on a month for parts now. The delivery windows they are giving out are ridiculous "2 weeks - 2 months". Thanks amazon....

I only order prime off Amazon, anything else is a third party seller and I can generally find it cheaper/faster on different websites.
