I wrote the seller to cancel my order. They came back with the message that my order was shipped :/. I don't know if I wrote too late, or they shipped it against my will.

Banggood, who I've ordered from many times before, says that my order shipped on Nov 15th but the arrival date has now changed to 1/17/21 from 1/5/21 and every time I try to check the tracking number, it says that the shipper is waiting to receive the packet. I'll give them another day or so and then I may cancel the order to see what happens.

Gandalf, I am also on the same pickle with the SZ18. Their explanation is that the routes are somewhat unstable and timings are unknown for the epacket shipping method. At the stage of the order (shipped), they asked me to wait - I don't think I can cancel the order without penalty. I had another order at Ruoshui store and they said the same thing, but before they shipped - I was able to cancel the order immediately and akreadt got a refund
So, it seems it will arrive in 2021...

rsjsouza, thanks for the info. I already looked for a way to cancel and couldn't find one; presumably because they (claim to) have shipped. I ordered a pulse oximeter as part of the same order so my total was just over $50 which is supposed to give me free tracking but I think such tracking is close to worthless. Having paid by PayPal on Nov 15, I will raise a not-received dispute on Dec 15 which will set a clock running that will ensure that I get my money back if the items don't arrive. What annoys me most is that Banggood have changed the expected delivery date from Jan 5 to Jan 17.

I agree with Fungus. If you care to look for a thorough review, check the video about Richmeters RM219 (same meter) on my youtube channel (check either my signature below or the small globe under my profile picture). It is a bit long, but hopefully you find it useful.

It just does everything, and does it well. No weak points at all.
I also prefer the size and feel of the 870 to those other Anengs with their flimsy cases and tiny range selectors. The probe holders on the back are very handy, too.

One bad mechanical aspect of my RM219 (maybe the AN870 is different) is that the tilting bale is hinged on the rubber/plastic protection holster. This completely kills its mechanical robustness and makes it cave when a rotary switch is being used or a probe is inserted. Apart from that and the low frequency bandwidth (mine goes up to 3.4kHz) it is quite good.

I don't know of any meter that would let you insert/remove probes one-handedly when it's standing up.
My fluke 27 will let you turn the selector when it's on the stand but it has a huge stand. I don't know of any others. My Brymen moves around the table.
