eurgh this thread is not good when you're a vulnerable panicky person lmao. when i usually order from china can take up to 6 weeks so i try to 'forget' about it. maybe i'll just avoid the thread lmao.
Quite right, although avoiding this thread altogether would mean missing out on some enticing stuff sometimes.
A lot of us, though, are pretty calm people who read the FT stickies and don't expect instant response times or instant shipping...
I remember in decades past when there was no such thing as tracking, when you ordered from a catalogue and getting stuff in a month or six weeks was normal, when anything arriving from a foreign country was amazing and you carefully collected the foreign stamps in a stamp album...yeah, I'm old...not nostalgic for those days, though, just saying.
If I order something online, I expect to wait - it is just part of the way life is.
