    My Sentinel Blaze I ordered on 3/3/17 just arrived today, 3/23/17 nearly 3 weeks later. The package was originally supposed to arrive nearly a week ago (2 weeks normally) but didn't arrive until today due to USPS temporarily halting operations last week at the ISC NY customs center due to Winter Storm Stella. It wasn't the fault of the seller.

    I finally picked up my Grinder and it takes about three weeks from order to delivery. There are a couple of bent corners but I am still very happy. Baba is extremely responsible. I hope she stays in business because she is probably the only one I will order from China.

    My Sovereign took 3 weeks from baba when normally the time is 2 weeks. All other times it takes 2 weeks for me. Baba now has KFC Ditka for those who are interested.

    Baba told me that she is actually a he. ;)

    Ordered MakeToys Contact Shot on 3/20/17. Tracking numbe assigned and active on 3/21/17. Package also left China on 3/21 which is excellent. Because the massive backlog at USPS ISC NY customs caused by the 3/14/17 winter storm, my package wasn't processed thru NY customs until 4/5/17. Not the sellers fault at all. I finally received the package today 4/10/17. If not for USPS' backlog delay I would have received the package a week ago back on 4/3/17. Again the seller didn't cause this. Kudos to baba for getting my package out the very next day.

    Just ordered Robot Hero Skywarp. I'll let you guys know how it goes but so far everybody seems to have had a positive experience with this seller. Really good prices which is cause for some caution when dealing with international sellers but he seems to be legit.

    With baba, you don't need to worry. He is super responsive and ships very fast. The packaging can be better but I have never received a damage box except some dented corners. I doubt he will ever turn rogue given all the reputations he has built and all the loyal customers he has acquired throughout these years. What is the point of killing the goose that lays golden eggs? It doesn't make sense to me.

    I'm excited! Not sure what went differently this time but either Chinese Ebay seller bababobo00712 has really been on the ball the past week or USPS has.....or maybe both!! I ordered XTB AEgis from him on 6/10/17 and it looks like it'll be delivered to me tomorrow....9 days total!! Usually his stuff takes about 2 weeks (14 days) to reach me. Plus only his standard free shipping option was available when I ordered...no expedited shipping. Has anyone else in the USA experienced faster shipping times from baba lately? I hope this becomes the norm.

    Placed order June 4, delivered June 14, fastest it's ever been. I'm not sure if that's a trend or just luck, but I'll find out the next time there's a flash sale. I've been ordering from them for a long time now and there have been quick deliveries and slow ones.

    I'm getting worried. This guy came highly recommended. I ordered some decals and Eligos from him a week ago, received my tracking number a day later, and but then nothing. The number still shows as not in any system. I messaged him and he said something along the lines of having shipped it. I had 4 chinese sales in a row not work out (rogue sellers), and this might make 5.

    Did you try running the tracking number on USPS.com?

    I ordered from him probably the same day as you with the flash sale and my tracking literally just updated 5 minutes ago. Give it over the holiday weekend, and then email him Wednesday if it hasn't updated by then.

    Yes, I ordered on the 23rd with a flash sale. Tracking still cannot be found on USPS or 17track. :(
