A month is standard with fasttech, I'd add a couple of extra weeks.

So realistically are we talking a month? According to a Chinese business associate, Dragon Boat ends today, and lasted 3 days. So, if you were expecting 3 weeks, expect 4 probably. (don't quote me.. ) |

It could be worse... Consider - for a number of festivals in many countries, it's common for people to migrate towards their home town and perhaps add a few days as vacation... Where there's a large Chinese population, the New Year is notable for this...
The upside... You'll have forgotten that you've ordered this stuff and come October you'll have this wonderful surprise....

Everything I have heard about FT and its deliveries leads me to think it is pure chance when you get your item.
Started ordering from them a couple of weeks back, and my first order from the 23rd of May has made it to Heathrow, while my neighbour finally got his order last week and he put that in over 2 months ago.

In fairness, I've received one package in ten days and average is just shy of three weeks, excluding stuff which says in stock in ten days, which should be taken with a pinch of salt.
No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted

I have ordered from fasttech 4 times in the last month and every parcel has been 9 or 10 days
I have ordered 3 times from focal every parcel has been over 30 days
don't know if this is the norm just stating I get from fasttech a lot quicker than focal

I reckon us individuals have too small a sample each - perhaps we should consider a frequency chart or two...
Summat like a rolling 45 day of delivery as our sample with #time_to_ship as one dimension and #duration ...
Of course where the weekends lie in the delivery cycle will be impact but it would be fun to see the average and upper / lower quadrant as well....
Maybe it's time I looked at Google Form stuff after all (I've an unfulfilled promise to look at regular expressions in forms for validation on my stack already).
(Sorry for all those thinking WTF after reading this - if you don't know you're blessed).
