    My FT order, placed on 4/21 and shipped on 4/25, is currently on the slow boat from China. I hope that when it hits the USA, it's not in Chicago. The last package that I had from China went through Chicago and sat there for a week in customs. The package took a total of two months to get to me, all told.

    I have a package from the U.K. that scanned into Chicago on 4/17. On Saturday I opened an inquiry and was told it was “in quarantine”. This morning it’s in Seattle, WA. Destination is TEXAS.

    Totally your fault if the package arrives late...

    I mean maybe next time dont pull a ''doc brown'' and refrain from ordering plutonium online :D

    I've had a similar experience, once with a package that was recieving and once with a package that I was sending. And this was well before the coronavirus thing. Always Chicago, sending it somewhere it didn't need to be.

    Back when all this virus stuff started,i had a package come in from the U.K.,it flew through customs surprisingly fast,and reached my post office like 6 days after it shipped.I got a notification the morning it was supposed to show up that it was out for delivery,then later that day got a notification it was being returned to sender due to non existent address.
    I was furious,i rushed over to the post office to catch them before they sent it out,and when i questioned why it was marked that way,the woman told me the carrier had refused to handle the package because of where it came from,but they didn't have a scan for that.I've said it before,but i'll say it again, I hate some of the idiots USPS hires.

    As idiotic as USPS can be, I have to give kudos to my local post office and carrier. I send and receive lots of packages, and any problems I have, it's never at the local level.

    Very true. Tracking has allowed us to watch some strange things going on.

    Yeah,that's the way i understood it,is that it was the carrier.I should of called and reported it,but i figure it wouldn't of done much good.Now i have to be right on top of any foreign shipped packages though to make sure it doesn't happen again.
    I don't know if he was just having a bad day,they got on him about it,or he just has something against the U.K. though,because just a few later he delivered a package from China no problem haha.

    Well at least today (after sending an email to VaporL) my package appears in the tracking system.

    2020-04-30 11:43 Hong Kong - King Kong/4PX picked up shipment

    So at least that is something,now just to just keep on waiting.
    Not sure how it will be for you,but once 4px picked up my package,the tracking info stopped,Seems they haven't scanned it any at all.

    Price was to low to not buy it specially since that was a mod that was on top of my list so ill just have to wait, my Swag 80w is still working so im ok for now.

    Hope you get your package soon or at the least an update.

    It hasn't been long,i just meant that China post was scanning it along the way,but once 4px picked it up,they haven't scanned it all.The only way i even knew they got it was that China post scanned it as being picked up by them.

    yep,that is the one the guys at VaporL sent me to check the status,so far it's remained the same.
    Give it some time. I ordered the same Jackaroo from Vaporl. Shipped 4/13
    It should be delivered in the next couple of days:
