DAM!!! DAMDAMDAMDAMDAM!!!

I travel a lot for work, being a service technician and all... waiting on a package from China... and today, I was heading home when I got a call. Well, a few hundred miles and 5 hours later, I finally got home (at 9pm, not 4), only to find the mailman's sticker on my door. My package was waiting at the PO from 2pm on, and I could have picked it up.... AAARRRGHGHGH!!!!

On the upswing, my eGo stuff will be in my greedy little paws in the morning.

Origin Post is Preparing Shipment

So, on an order from Heavengifts... yes I paid the $14 and change for EMS shipping.... 6 whole days from Beijing to Louisiana.... wow. The world has really changed since I was young....

Anyone have thoughts on this?

On almost all of my orders from China suppliers, the average time to my mailbox in California is an average of 6 days. Some of my US based suppliers take that long or longer.......
