Me too. Mine is in Chicago already.I'm FLOORED!!!!!!! Placed an order for a Dripbox160 last Sunday, and it's ALREADY in the States!!!!! I would like to hope that I'll see it by Tuesday or Wednesday
Does seem things moving fast all of a sudden, not sure if down to the new regs starting, but I like it, this is one of that fastest orders I've had in over 3 years ordering from FT
Mine was cruising pretty good.Accepted in China July 31,processed through customs in Chicago August 4,and now no update for the last 3 days.
I've had orders through LA, NY, MO, and Chicago. Chicago was always the worst, one sat for 2 weeks there before delivery.
Chicago does seem to be slow right now, took my last order 4-5 days to clear, probably backed up from everyone stockpiling 
This is the first time i've had that issue through Chicago.All my previous orders,once they said processed through Isc,would get scanned at the sort facility within a few hours,then be in my mailbox 2 days later.But yeah,i am definitely thinking it's a major back up there right now with everyone trying to get last minute packages through.
On another note,i really think i may start using Dhl for any future packages from China,the extra cost seems to be well worth it.I have a package coming from a different Chinese supplier and it shipped Dhl.Shipped at 11:30 pm Hong Kong time on friday night,was released by customs in Cincinnati 6pm on saturday,and scheduled for delivery Tuesday,now that's fast haha.

What? Who, me? Stockpiling? Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?
My last order from China was delayed for a few extra days passing through Illinois and I must agree with the DHL option because I had 2 orders shipped via DHL from China that were 3 days or less to my door.
Yeah,i had never chose Dhl before because of the added cost,but in this case,it was only $10 more than the epacket,and with not knowing exactly what is going to happen here soon,i decided that extra $10 was worth it.Now though,i really think i may use it all the time,i like that speedy service haha.
Also,i just realized,their tracking says scheduled for delivery on Tuesday,but since it is in Cincinnati,that is just under 100 miles from me,so i may possibly get it tomorrow,which would make it even better.
The only issue which is minor with DHL is they deliver to my area later in the day. Still 3 days versus 7 to 10 with ePacket.
Ok,panic avoided haha.My ft package that i just mentioned wasn't moving,is pretty much right on schedule with all the others.It was never scanned at the sort facility or post office in Chicago after leaving customs,but it was just scanned a few minutes ago at my local sort facilty,so will be in my hands tomorrow.
That is the same thing that happened to me! No scan on the package leaving the facility and no update on that it was in transit. Seems like the person in the depot is slacking on their duties.
That's typical for me. Pkgs are usually delivered before tracking is updated.

Sometimes with me USPS tracking gets updated ridiculously fast especially when it hits the New York area. I have checked in the morning while having coffee and it hit the New York facility and then 3 more updates in a matter of hours before it says out for delivery.
Anyone else having problems placing a CC order at FT today? Looks like PayPal or Bitcoin only due to a CC issue.
No thanks as my wife does the PayPal. My order is only $12, but I couldn't bother having to explain to my wife why I need an 18th mechanical mod!

Very good to know. Thank you. I joined CASAA, I've written to my congressman & signed some petitions. I sure hope everyone's combined efforts will be successful and all of this stocking up will be in vain. No matter what, I feel I am in a better place because I've taken the time to learn and to get involved.
