Ordering From China... Now??

(1/4) > >>

Henry Finley:
So here I am in NC, USA on Jan 29 2022, looking at ordering a Feeltech FY 6800 from Bangood in China, with a projected delivery date of Feb 16-21. So I am to hope my function generator will get here in 3 weeks at a time when the groceries stores can't even keep their shelves half-stocked? A time where we have a widely known supply chain problem in this country? How long would my function generator sit on a cargo ship off the California coast?  I'm not very encouraged on that delivery estimate. I'd be grateful if somebody might be able to offer a word of comfort on that. Thanks.

BrokenYugo:
Most stuff from China is air mail of some form unless it says ocean freight. In my experience it usually takes longer to get through the US than it does to land in the US unless it's the super cheap shipping where it first goes through some intermediary country to get better rates to the US.

What will slow it down some is Chinese New Year.

My personal problem with Banggood isn't speed, it's that you can't order more than one thing, as they will pack a bunch of small items in one unpadded bag and ship it halfway around the world, I never got a fully intact order. I assume the function gen comes with a box though, so probably not a problem here.

oPossum:
It is currently Chinese new year so it probably won't even be shipped for a few weeks.

As above, it's cny.  China ia mostly on holiday until week 2 of February at least.  Add in pandemic issues and I would set your expectations to early-mid March at the earliest.

You just hit my hot button mentioning the "pandemic". The pandemic of stupidity, which will dog us till the end of time because people won't get their shots. "Lots of people had their shots but get it anyway", I hear.True. But people got their polio vaccine and got it anyway. Yet it was eradicated in the first world coutries because of the HIGH PERCENTAGE of people who got the polio vaccine. See how it works? "It's just a conspiracy for the government to microchip us so the government can track us". I can't answer that one. I can't fix stupid. "The vaccine is just BS and doesn't work at all". My answer: Baloney. Vaccines work. Not 100%, not 90, not 80. But like polio vaccine, it works good enough to eradicate this insipid, intermidable, pointles soap opera if people would shut their ignorant, idiotic piehole and get their d___ shots!
