    Yeah i have 7 bots on the way from china which are being held in the airport storages for about 2 months. Turkey decided to end all personal imports from China for some reason and so we are illegally being kept away from our property.

    It shipped to MD yesterday evening and arrived in Roanoke a few hours ago. I guess I'll have it tomorrow. :)

    Yes, to this. I have seen it come into Chicago before, as well, but it depends.

    That said, even if you are in the east, you may get a package that lands in LA to start with. It all has to do with how the logistics work out best for the shipper, not the recipient.

    Ordered an item off eBay and it says speedpak is delivering. I live in Southern Illinois. The tracking says it got to Southern Indiana on the speedpak website and then stopped 3 days ago and it's still sitting in that little town

    Speedpak is garbage. Most times my tracking on Ebay will update once the package reaches the states but it will never update beyond that.

    See that's what I don't understand. How did it get to the middle of the United States? The town at stopped at is only two and a half hours away

    In my experience, Speekpak is anything but fast and the tracking can't be trusted, but you WILL eventually get what you ordered.

    Normally I'm good at waiting on a package by putting the thought out of my mind and distracting myself with other hobbies, but I keep thinking about an ebay purchase I made a while back and keep remembering "oh yeah that arrives in September, doesn't it?"

    I will tell you this. Most guys think it would be great to have a girlfriend that collects too so she doesn't care what Transformers you buy for yourself but I'm here to tell you that she has less patience when getting a package than I do. The package I'm waiting on is mp-39 sunstreaker and she is nagging the hell out of me wondering where it's at

    Speedpak takes the least expensive way for the shipping company; it doesn't mean that it takes the fastest route to you the recipient. My guess is that they are waiting for another shipment/enough of a shipment to warrant moving the package from the town to you. It'll get there, in time, it just takes time for shipment volume to trigger a delivery.

    I've noticed recently my Baba orders are now all coming into the USA at San Francisco (instead of New York) and the delivery date that USPS shows is always off by 2-3 days.

    Been waiting all day for an order from ShowZ to arrive. Turns out it was delivered at around 2pm.... somewhere. Definitely not at my house or any of my neighbors. Tracking said it was delivered at the front desk of wherever this was.... beyond pissed right now.

    So I bought an MPM Ironhide from Amazon Japan (because it was $43 before shipping) last Sunday and got the ship notification today. All well and good, then when I go to check on it, it says it was expected March 15th, but it's on the way... So they are apologizing for not getting a package to me five months before I ordered it? Ok....

    Only thing I could think of was the possibility that they tried to "authorize" both items back to back on your CC and possibly it denied the 2nd charge due to internal antifraud policies of the card issuing company.
