Usually I would say the same, but at this moment, I have one HK shipment that left the US warehouse on the 19th and just arrived in the Houston sorting facility today, the 29th. and I have a second shipment that left the warehouse on the 25th and has just left the Dallas sort facility...
So, shipping time alone, 9 days for one order and 4 days for the other, both from the same warehouse...
It only happens with the HK stuff, too. I RARELY have issues like this with other vendors, even those that ship from China. I have an eBay purchase from the 23rd, from China, that looks like it will deliver tomorrow and the shipping was free!
I love HK and still recommend them to people who ask, but the hassles of paying that much for shipping and then having to wait so long just for them to ship are starting to make me think about shopping elsewhere for more of my items.
Dangit...I hijacked again...apologies to the OP!
