    It’s never taken more than 2 weeks for me to get anything from them. For free shipping halfway around the goddamn world that’s excellent.

    No doubt ShowZ will use anything other than DHL. I am probably done with them after this. Not saying they are a bad business, but if you can get something faster for cheaper, why not go that route?

    The shipping speed is the other reason I'm considering going with TFS Express for this one, just because it seems quite a bit faster.

    Which shipping method did you choose? The more expensive method I assume.
    Thanks

    Yes, I went with the premium shipping option from TFS-Express. The totals came to $97. With free shipping from other China based shops such as ShowZ and TF Safari, its around $92, so I figured $5 is worth the 10 days or so difference in shipping speed to me.

    La Hire just got delivered at around 11:30AM, which is a new record for what I've experienced from DHL. It was shipped out 7/11 and arrived 7/12. In the past it has been about 3 days on the button.

    Paid for mine from showz, I expect 1 to 2 weeks for delivery to US... next time probably gonna try TFS-Express... I still have a pre-order of the Toy World Movie BumbleBee at showz... not sure to switch or not.

    Update: checked my last order from showz, shipped on 5/20, delivered on 6/4 in US. pretty slow. :)

    Yes, the page that shows up after you enter the tracking number should have a Estimated Delivery date near the upper right hand side.

    I'm sorry for my lack of understanding, but I'm not following. I don't have an option to put in my tracking number anywhere on the TFS-Express site.

    I can only look at my order history, which has been updated to say that is has been shipped. They do provide a link to track my package, but no information is available there and there is no "estimated delivery" option anywhere on the page.

    Here is the link: Track & Trace

    I think you can pay more for faster shipping if that's important to you.

    Here's one quote, there are others:

    Just look at a number of posts above yours. tfs-express are sending theirs out using DHL.

    And it's cheaper. 87 bucks shipped.

    FYI, they are at the Toronto TF Con this weekend. I'm sure they're still receiving shipments and sending out orders, but just letting you know.

    It looks like you went with standard shipping? I was referring to DHL website. I went with the premium shipping option which is via DHL. Standard shipping via SF Express doesn’t provide an ETA. In my experience it takes around 2 weeks to receive the order via SF Express.

    Hi, thanks for supporting TFs Express. By looking at your tracking number, it is "Economic International Tracked and Signed Service", the cheapest but slowest option. It usually takes 8~12 Working Days to US. The standard option, which is still shipped by SF Express usually takes 6~9 Working Days to US. Hope that helps.

    I think mine is stuck in Tianjin, China. Says it processed through sort facility on July 9th. Was hoping to already be in my hands. It’s EMS so usually has better tracking.
