Does it really take this long to get over the ocean?
Yes it does. Ordering from China 3 weeks isn't unusual. Now mine came in 10 days, but I consider that a glitch.

So no VAMO in the mail yet, so I went to their website and saw that Karen was actually online. 12:20 PM CST.
I asked her if she knew more about the shipping than what the tracking sites were showing me, she said that it had left China on the 17th. That's 12 days in-transit. Does it really take this long to get over the ocean?
I just spoke with Karen as well (1:45pm EST). I asked her a similar question to what you did, and she told me that she thinks that my package left China on the 18th. I asked her how many more days it should take to arrive, and she told me transit is usually 2 weeks after it leaves China, but adding on the delay from "opening by China Post," the total time will be more like 3 weeks.
So if it actually left China on the 18th, and today is the 29th, then I should assume it will be delivered next week. I asked her if that sounded right and she said "yes I think so, now is not the busy season, so I think you will get it soon".
I am quickly approaching my PP dispute deadline for my order, but I guess I can wait until next week. If I don't receive it in the mail on Friday, 4/5, then I will file the PP dispute same day, without hesitation.
Anyway, yours should arrive sometime next week too then, at least according to the BS Karen just told me. I hope she's right.
Cheers!
Yeah, that's what I decided I was going to do as well, if it's not here by Friday, I will file a dispute, I think I may just order one from a US vendor today, though. At least this way I'll have a backup.
EDIT:
Before I shop around, does anyone know of a good US vendor that usually has quick shipping times?
Exhale Vapors is supposed to be quick and good to work with. They want $41+sh for either chrome or black chrome, and there's a 10% off coupon "March10". I've never ordered from them myself, but I have only heard good things.
Exhalevapors is awesome. fast shipping and excellent prices
My order from 2/18 came in today. Surprised me!![]()

I ordered mine on 2/28 and finally got it yesterday. Until Thursday morning tracking had it in China. It only took one day to to get to me from NY to MD. Love it and it was worth the wait. I got the kit and batteries seem ok. The charger seems pretty cheap. I toped it with my new Kanger Pro and its amazing. This is my first mod AMD I am very happy with it
So I ordered on 3/13 and got notification that my two Vamos are in Dulles VA today 3/29. So it took 16 days from shipping to entering the States. I ordered the chrome and black chrome body. I can't wait since I've heard such good things about them! After reading this thread I was very nervous. So next week, if I can figure out how I'm gonna leave work and sign for them at the post office, I'll have them.![]()
Nice job!I also waited 15 days, I immediately edited by ...SS stainless vamo body
A very noticeable difference in level![]()
