I live in Italy, and nothing from AE ever took less than two whole months to get to me. I thought it was about the same for all of Europe... now I'm annoyed. :(

Yeah, that's a good point, and probably explains why it took nearly a month for my stuff to leave China, but after that (unless they're literally pushing the passenger planes over here) it shouldn't take a couple of weeks for the flights to get here.

Unless, of course, they're outright lying on their shipping information and my stuff is still sitting in a pile either in China or Finland. Or hell, maybe it's actually been shipped a few weeks ago but is in some kind of corona quarantine somewhere.

Tracking does work, but when it says "Left for destination country", I take to mean "Left for destination country, with random stops in another countries". Like the circuit boards I ordered, which took a detour to Germany before arriving in Finland, and had a different tracking code slapped on there.

[edit] And I'm elated if my AE orders arrive in two weeks, the norm is around 6 to 8 weeks.

It may depend on the size of the items, too. I have a few ePacket items in limbo, some going back to late January, but a tiny little coin cell battery thing shipped via SunYou arrived in less than three weeks. Who knows, it's plague times.

Yeah sorry that's just Italy (before the Roni).

Two - 2.5 weeks has been about the best case, although some of the stuff I ordered around Jan 20th only got here this week and some is still MIA.

They claim to strengthen muscles by sending pulses to them with some pads. We bought them for drunken 'games of pain tolerance'. Well that plan is out the window for 6months. Maybe I should try them for their advertised usage-case.

Also grandma had a stroke and maybe these could work for something but I can't visit her and hell no I'm not gonna use her as a science experiment.

I just got a notification that this flashlight's order was about to close, and when I opened the tracking info, it said "Uncollected, return to sender". Now, I'm fairly certain I've not received any notification of its arrival. I opened a dispute stating so, we'll see how it goes.

Those snips are actually pretty darn good for the price. I have 3 sets and even the set I drunkenly tried to cut RF shielding with still works even though half the blade snapped off.

I just got this 10.1" digital picture frame. The seller had promised me it had a seamless loop one mode, that is, I could play a single video in a loop and not have it lag or stutter when going from end to the beginning. Well, I frankly didn't believe them because I have already tried two such frames and there was always this lag, and, no surprise, my skepticism was warranted. I have filed a dispute, since they explicitly promised this feature and I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.

But, does anyone know of this kind of digital picture frame with video playback functionality, featuring seamless looping of a single video? I'm getting tired of sellers responding with "yes dear" when I ask and then delivering a product without that functionality :bang:

Will it seamlessly loop a gallery of videos or does it always stutter at the last one?
