I want one of these and the only place I can find them for sale is France and the shipping is crazy expensive. If anyone spots one in the US, please let me know.
That’s funny. I just bought something that was shipped directly from China for $7. It wasn’t expensive either - the order cost about $15 and it took about a 10 days to get here. I don’t now why other countries are so expensive.
Last summer I bought a “gibson” Songbird pickguard from china on ebay, with shipping it was under 10 bucks and got here in like 8 days. No idea how they do that
exactly. last stuff my wife bought on ebay said sourced from china-got here just over a week. and then another showed up in a few more weeks, and another after that (only one order placed)! somewhere the model is broken.
Already have the knife covered, but it misses the cool factor. I was able to find a 10% Wayfair coupon, but at $80 it is still not a pull the trigger kinda price.
Ordered my wife an iPad through the Apple site and received it in 3 days from Chine with custom engraving. I think UPS has 100 to 150 planes a day flying out of Korea, through Alaska and then down to California.
I’ve gotten deliveries from Hong Kong and Japan in less than three days. OTOH I won an Ebay auction which went about 35 days and I know he shipped it the day I bought it because of another package which arrived two weeks earlier. I have no idea how they can get it here in days and we cannot even go cross country with mail in the same time period.
I hear you. I tried like hell to get somebody to ship me a calibration weight for my water salt/hop scale - twice. Both were U.S. vendors, both failed to get it here after 30+ days. I ended up cancelling both orders and ordered a 3rd weight against my better judgement from China and I had it ten days later. BS.
