Judging by the tracking on my two recent orders it appears that they bundle US (or maybe North American?) orders over some interval into a single package that is shipped to Colorado where it is disaggregated and then individual orders travel via USPS. Interestingly it appears that they "eat" the cost of the drop-ship to Colorado, and the Shipping Cost in the order roughly corresponds to the USPS rate from Colorado based on the package label (which in both cases was marked with a somewhat higher cost than was charged in the order).

I presume that the drop-ship is air mail as it was only a week between order-entry and arrival in Colorado. The second week was spent with USPS Ground. A very efficient process; I'm impressed. I imagine that they have a similar set-up for other world regions. I've seen what appears to be similar behavior with Hong Kong (and possibly Chinese) vendors on eBay -- after a pause the package appears to originate at a US location. Glad to hear that Tayda wasn't foolin' with their availability of the 1.8Mhz resonators :->. -----Original Message-----

I ordered directlyMy order took just over 2 weeks to arrive. That's pretty good! I've shipped packages internationally that have taken 4-6 weeks to arrive. Of course, that's "good" compared to last year. Some packages sent in early 2020 took 3-4 months to arrive!
