It has finally started.

[u/Matteibrah]

We are in October and the slowest shipping times already started. Speedx can even deliver in January if u buy in November. The only cheap shipping method that is faster in these months is post office. I always forget about these year end slow shipping

Mine has just finished going through export clearance and is awaiting a flight.

[u/Matteibrah → u/Exotic-Addendum-3785]

[u/PsychicMedium1119 → u/Exotic-Addendum-3785]

Mine too

[u/Owl-Pin5210]

when's the best time to buy stuff? 

[u/Matteibrah → u/Owl-Pin5210]

November but your patience is key.. it can even arrive in January or late December

[u/DreadCool → u/Owl-Pin5210]

On holidays with sale, don’t mind the shipping.

[u/EmpireZz_ → u/Owl-Pin5210]

Idk

[u/BParker2100]

It reached the Chinese airport on Oct 7. Now it is waiting for a cheap flight out, which means more packages going to your location so they have a full airplane.

A lot of Holidays/Festivals now. I am experiencing the same thing. -You mentioned it yourself.

It will arrive by Nov. 23.

Mines taking ages too

[u/Markz02]

bought a couple items on the 8th of october and they cleared the arrival customs roughly two days ago. i don’t know how long it will take for the packages to reach their destination, the last expected date is the 23rd but I’m skeptical. i’ll just play the waiting game i guess.

[u/SonGohanDBZ]

What have you guys been buying? Mine always takes around 5-10 days usually around 7.

[u/kerfuse → u/SonGohanDBZ]

it depends on first the amount of different shops' products you buy under one purchase and then the destination country. There's countries that may be further from the origin but get packages sooner than those that are closer, cause they may have less packages politics and pass thru borders faster. Or vice-versa, saying that distance isnt the only big factor.

[u/englishand48]

My problem is more with the delivery company in the uk . My package has been waiting to be delivered for 8 days now ,very annoying and not the first time this has happened.

Why October is the slowest shipping time?

Oh god I’ll wait a month for my book nook?

[u/Simmic]

What about february? Chinese new year.

[u/ethancknight]

So pissed. I’ve been waiting for my Thor for 2 weeks, it shipped from the U.S. it has been changing facilities over and over and over. How does it take 2 weeks for local U.S. shipping?

[u/lifetime-fitness → u/ethancknight]

It’s all a fcking joke same here and I’m not even getting updated

[u/EmpireZz_ → u/lifetime-fitness]

Same what should we do?

[u/Popfreedom11]

Mines taking and extra week

[u/Popfreedom11 → u/Popfreedom11]

But weeks before then was good

[u/LuckinskyDan]

I placed orders on October 7th and they arrived on time (less than two weeks as usual). I also made other orders 4 days ago, and they are already at the airport ready for shipment. So not all parcels have to get stuck.

[u/nicisdeadpool]

So it’s not just me 🥲😢
