I ordered it from the us warehouse I believe, maybe not, I'm also in Hawaii so maybe it takes a little longer, but other things I order from us only take 3-5 days. Oh well I guess I gotta just be more patient!

It generally says on the website if its in stock in the US warehouse.

It takes about 2-3 weeks from china warehouse. It has to pass US customs first. Sometimes it will be faster from china and the reason for that is simple
If it gets to the shipping container just as its about ready to ship overseas, then its faster.

Now i know they just finished their Chinese new year. So that may delay shipping as well. ANYTIME you order from China, Check to see when the Chinese new year begins and ends. I believe its like 2 weeks they celebrate it.

Usually wouldnt expect it to ship out till a week or two after the Chinese new year, it takes time for them catch up on orders.

I've had one order from the US warehouse arrive in 4 days. Then another order from overseas took about 4 weeks.

From now on, I'm making sure I get everything from the US warehouse.

Paid for mine jan 25th, shipped out jan 31st. Still Waiting. You would think that $18 in shipping for a 2 lb package would get it here within a month.

I've only purchased from the USA warehouse, which limits what they have in stock, but it usually arrives in less than a week. If you ordered anything that is backordered they wont ship any part of the order till it's in.

Customs is the biggest delay if there is one.

I ordered several times and paid the EMS, all got delivered within a week.

Ironically, the longest wait was from the US warehouse.

I was pretty much gonna say the same. its dependent on any holidays there, how full the shipping container is, and what shipping you paid for. Ive ordered from there multiple times and have waited up to 1 1/2 months because 5 batteries, and other random electronics spooked customs. the last thing i got from them were a couple of servos, took that 1 1/2 months. there was a letter attached to it from customs saying that they were held up to re-scan due to what they thought was a suspicious item, and they apologized for the delay in receiving my package. And yeah, i placed two orders three days apart cuz i forgot something. one was a batt(US warehouse), and then some other random crap coming from overseas. the batt was ordered first, but i got the overseas items the day before i got the single batt from here, lol.

Mine took 2 1/2 weeks out of China. The price was worth the wait for my batteries.
