Thanks for the info. I knew they were slow, but...wow. I don't think fasttech is going to be for me. lol I like to order something and not have to wait too long.It's standard procedure to bill as soon as you order. FT doesn't have all items in stock, it's always clearly stated somewhere in the item-description. Your tweezers apparently were not in stock, so ETA was 27th, for them to receive the item from their supplier. Good chance it has arrived by now. Next stage is "waiting to be packaged", then "packaging", then "shipped". Since it's a small order, chances are it will take another 3 to 4 weeks before it arrives. This also differs per country/customs. Shipping method you chose also influences delivery time.
