I ordered on 27th September, Item left HK on 7th October (They give tracking number for some items). After a week, I checked at the local area post-office and they said it may be at customs, contact the Foreign Post Office. But before I could do that, within two days, the parcel arrived at my place. Total shipping time - 20 Days. A friend ordered something else, it took him 16 days.
The customs clearing time is 1-2 weeks. If there is no charge, the parcel will come to you straight. If there is some duty, they'll send you a letter to come clear it. So I suggest you wait for 3 weeks after shipping. If it doesn't get to you in that time, go to the Foreign Post Office for your city.
Also, :hap2: to dealextreme. Item works perfectly. And is an original piece. [It was a R4DS for the Nintendo DS].
