Some people want it NOW, DAMMIT!

The more you want something, the more impatient you are. On the "bright side", if it takes more time to arrive, you might be even happier to receive it (if everything goes well with the package and meter). Generally it is easier if things do arrive quickly. I wouldn't pay more, however (maybe a very small reasonable difference).

That said, I'm glad you recommended the AN860B+. Not that bigger is better in this case (smaller is more handy), but I do like the added functionality.

use the tracking number next-time to see.

Belgian customs are slow but in this case since it is less than 22€ it bypass customs actions.
From time to time I get stuff from China in less than 2 weeks.
I track every days what I order, in this case it is just indicated “China, Departure to country of destination”

Banggood is a Chinese vendor that typically delivers to me, in Michigan USA, in 2 weeks or less; I use them a lot and would recommend them.

My annoyance was that, as an Amazon Prime customer, where shipping is free, I'm used to seeing an item listed as 'Prime', clicking on it, and having it a less than a week later.  The Prime price may be a couple of dollars more but with free shipping that is often the better deal.  When I went on Amazon to buy the AN8008, I clicked on a Prime vendor for about $23 and then waited a month to get it.  I could have paid less to order it from Banggood (or an eBay seller in China), and got it in 2 weeks.

I don't mind buying from China but I do mind buying from Amazon, probably paying a few dollars more, and then finding that the item was shipped from China and took a month to get here.

That's exactly what happened to me, not sure how that supplier got listed as "Prime", I pay yearly for that 2-day shipping perk. As someone hypnotized earlier in this thread, they 1st shipped me a dollar item with a card saying the meter would be shipped later. I waited two weeks just for that "free" gift, then a few more weeks to get what I really ordered, the meter. I reported this to Amazon, I hope these mini scams don't get popular, I'll try and be a lot more careful from now on.

MacMeter, yes, I too got the prophylactic for remote-controls, I guess if I ran a pay-by-the-hour motel, they may have been useful... but Ii don't... and they aren't.

But now I have me AN8008 and all is right with the world  :-DMM
