Well that's pretty close.

I've never seen a package stay in SF ISC more than 24 hours. One time, they sent a package from SF to Sacramento which was a week long detour - very mysterious.

Normally, packages only take 2 days from LA (as long as they actually leave LA lol)

I got a little too excited when I saw a couple of my FT packages were in the country, because I thought I'd probably get them by today. Nope. Also, going back to my earlier orders, I see it can be like 10 days before I get them once they are "in the country."

The difference is that in the past, I would just forget about my orders until they arrived, because I knew they were going to take a long time, so no need to torture myself. This time I've been checking bc I know I have some non-TPD-compliant stuff that I want to arrive before May 20, just to be safe. The really important one I want is still just "information received," even though it was shipped from FT 9 days ago. arrggh. :(

If my packages come into New York, it takes 7-10 days to get to me in Florida. If they come into Miami, 2 or 3 days.

Good to know. Thanks. If they get to you in Miami in that period of time it will probably be roughly the same time frame to get to me.

I bet the "information received" one is further along than that by now and it just wasn't scanned. My FT packages sometimes don't say anything after they've been turned over to the carrier in China until they land in the U.S.

Why do I torture myself by checking tracking? My order(s) were shipped fast and passed through Beijing, one says in transit and the other say's pre-shipment, so I imagine they on their way to the U.S. soon. As soon as I see it is here then I can count about 5-7 more days. I think the anticipation of getting vape mail is a addiction. I know it ain't gonna move but I check every few hours when I know It is going to be another week at least, pure torture.

I do the same thing and it is torture! It's absolutely an addiction!

I have a question... I was checking my order and noticed they sent it through DHL... it never dawned on me a .70 cent key chain flashlight would change shipping ( battery) my question is will my order be faster? It usually takes a month to get to me and this order shipped on 5/3.

DHL is usually 3 to 5 days so yes, you'll probably get it today or tomorrow.
