Stalled shipping?

[OMB]

I ordered a 510 from Heaven-Gifts on 1/6/10. I have tried tracking it through EMS, but the last "movement" was on 1/8/10..."despatched (sic)" from Shanghai Center. Well, so I thought...Hmmm...maybe they are slow at entering data...so I went to USPS to check. They also say it's still in Shanghai!
Today is the 12th....has my package been "Shanghaied"???? My 901 is helping, but I want my 510...with 2 bats and 2 attys (901 only has 1 of each).
Any ideas or suggestions?

Expect at least a 2 week lead time when ordering from China. Sometimes it is 3 weeks.........

OMB I placed my last order with HG on the 6th also, and it showed up today. The tracking info is pretty much useless, imo. Unless Customs here slows it up it shouldn't take more than 7-10 days. At least that's been my experience placing about 6 orders with them over the last 4 months.

I ordered a non e-cig product from China as a Christmas present. I was very nervous because my tracking stayed exactly where yours is now the whole time. The package arrived within 10 days just as they promised, but the tracking info never changed.

Don't get scared yet, only more anxious Orders can get here in 6 or 7 days, or can show you the "despatched" message for two weeks, then show up unexpectedly between weeks 2 and 3. I had an order get to NYC in 5 days, then sit in Charlotte for another week (so we passed through customs no problem, then it just sat in Charlotte for God only knows what reason for a while). It's normal.

I will definitely be looking for a US distributor. Anyone have suggestions on who has the best prices for 510 and 901 attys/bats/passthroughs?

We're still in the 'after xmas' frame and shipments from china will vary greatly. Before I was getting orders from HG in 4 days (3 times) and 5 days (twice). Orders during xmas time was 10 and 6 days. I've never gone over 10 days from there going EMS. The airmail option is not the fast one for china orders, and is truly the slow boat though.

Tracking is always a mystery. There have been very few times for me when the tracking has showed a US point before the order arrives. Sometimes the morning before it arrives, it's still showing 'shanghai' sorting?? And that's through EMS or the usps site.

If you ordered airmail you can expect a looooong wait. The best US vendor is www.ecigsupply.com all good product for good prices.

I didn't order Airmail....something told me not to. According to EMS, it's still in Shanghai. I checked my PO Box, just in case, but it not here. I'll wait afew more days.

Mine said that also, even after it was delivered.

I've been waiting for 2 plus weeks for a order from ivapor.My orders from there get here in 1 week,so I don't know whats going on with shipping latley.Hopefully it was the holidays

I got one just a bit ago and it took a couple weeks. Not bad for coming from China.

 

[Brewster 59]

The last time I went to HG they said expect 2-3 weeks during the holiday season havent been there in a while so dont know what their saying now. Usually I get stuff in 7-10 days.

Just found out my 510 is at the Post Office! I'll have to go sign for it in the morning...2 weeks from China...not bad, I suppose. I WILL, however, find a US seller from now on.
