Need a Dro what one to get

Ordered on the 11th shipped on the 20th. They dragged the shipped deadline out to the bitter end. Now 7-15 days in transit and DHL tracking info won't be available for up to 24 hours. Sheesh.

Yup. I ordered mine from same vendor on the 12th and "the clock" is ticking down on the last day and hours....i suspect I will get a "notification of shipping" tomorrow. I am skeptical of the whole process.
 
I've held off my big Bangood order because of shipping issues - even though most of the stuff is in the Vancouver warehouse. With the lock down all postal/courier companies are swamped!
 
Went to check DHL tracking and noticed AliExpress states tracking info may take up to 5 to 7 days to appear!!!!

Can request a refund if not received by 2020-10-18

Yup I think its a bit of a scam....I don't believe it takes a week for DHL to register any parcel. Mine still hasn't "shipped" yet, less than 18hours before they promised it would be shipped by.

UPS recognizes the tracking # I was provided. That's encouraging.

I've ordered at least 3 dros off aliexpress and they all showed up fairly quickly considering they're making a pretty long journey. With what's happening right now, air freight costs have went through the roof with less availability so I'm not too surprised that it's going slower than usual. I wouldn't be too worried about them showing up, but if you were in a hurry DON'T order things from China. The price difference that you get is directly reflected in shipping times, if you need something fast there are suppliers in North America that sell these exact setups but the price is about 3x what you're paying from China (https://www.dropros.com/DRO_PROS_Easson_Milling_Machine_Digital_Readout.htm).

I hope you don't have to pay the usual UPS dinger fees they are famous for on international orders. Its not uncommon to pay 45$ customs processing or whatever they call it) for a box of air. Any applicable duty, taxes, GST... goes on top of course.

I see on the ups site they had some sort of surcharge I think that was called a UPS peak surcharge....but I couldn't seem to find out how much that fee is. I guess they just hold your merchandise hostage and then you can decide if you're going to pay it or risk never seeing your product or a full refund. Aliexpress made no mention of extra shipping charges on my parcel but rather told me shipping was free ( but of course I would be responsible for taxes or duties).
