Longjohn ★ Posted March 25, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 25, 2020 That sounds like Chineesium stuff. It takes awhile to get here from China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted March 25, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 25, 2020 I'm supposed to get Glad Press'N Seal next week from Amazon. Ordered it last week. I have no idea where it's made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted March 25, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 25, 2020 The last thing I ordered from Amazon I ordered it after lunch and they delivered it the next day about the same time. That was my Bluetooth gizmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team scooter Posted March 26, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 26, 2020 Amazon has a location in the next county over. If they have it in stock we'll get it the next day with free shipping. I think its weird seeing USPS trucks running around on Sundays too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all gone, worse than the TP shortage. I searched on Amazon an found one that was in stock and I ordered it on 3/18. A day later It shipped. That's when I found it shipped via Yun Express. I was surprised about that. When the tracking number became active I found it was shipped from Shenzhen, China. The estimated date of arrival is; Arriving March 26 - March 31. It cleared customers in LA on 3/23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shenzhen is like the electronics gizmo factory for the world. Phones, TV's and all the consumer stuff you could ask for. It's one of China's large industrial cities, right next door to Hong Kong. It's traveled so far and through so many hands that an alcohol wipe down might be in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted March 26, 2020 Share #9 Posted March 26, 2020 I purchased two sets of parts for race cars this week. One is arriving tomorrow and the other on Saturday. I am surprised that I was able to order them from California. I thought you folks were locked down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur ★ Posted March 26, 2020 Share #13 Posted March 26, 2020 Life happened in the 80's for me. Finished college, into the military, out of the military, got married, had two kids. That's all I remember of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, at worst, 2-day But seeing this multi-month delivery made me remember the "good old days" where you sent off for something, and then, just randomly some long time later, it was delivered - usually by USPS but sometimes by the beloved brown UPS truck! What a difference from today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graduated HS, joined the Army, left the Army, became a cop, met my wife... A lot happened in that decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the OP, yeah, my guess is Chinastan or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted March 26, 2020 Share #18 Posted March 26, 2020 As for the '80s, I spent half of it in a foreign country where buying Hellman's Mayo and Heinz Ketchup was a pricey experience and gas was more per litre than it was per gallon in the US.
