I've ordered a couple really cheap items from AE and never have received them. So I'm not too sure.
Who is Rahul? And yes, I can wait.

@agentmilo You might be better off using this once every 3/6 months:
I stopped depending on dust filters/mesh etc. This works quickly & hassle free. You can use it anywhere lol. Even the dust filters need cleaning once in a while.

I have this too. Problem is with dust which is stuck on the fan. That does not go away with this. With the dust filters you can clean them with water. With this I am still left with dust that is stuck. Haven’t found a safe way to wash fans till now.
Maybe you've been lucky till now, but this is a bad idea. These kinds of blowers have no protection from static electricity. You can short out your mobos in a whim. Can also damage your fan bearings if they spin way too fast and also generate reverse charge. You're also more prone to static discharge in colder weather, with these things.
There are compressed air blowers you can buy, but they are far more expensive.

I have been too lucky then .. been doing it for years... low speed and always from a distance of 1 foot or more. Mine is 7 speed. I usually use 3/4 on the PC.
Yup, you've been lucky! I used to use this years ago and ended up cleaning one mobo to death, heh.

I have been using such high speed blowers to clean my PC from years. Haven't caused any issue but what you say is true though.
To be honest, time doesn't matter. It's static discharge after all, can happen in microseconds.
Will it affect even if used from a distance?
I thought there'll be issues only if it touches the components
When the air is very dry (say during winter), ESD can happen at certain small distances. But not at like 20-30cm and afar.
I seem to be more prone to ESD to be honest- like in the winters, touching people or objects give me a real jolt as much as every 5-10 minutes. I pretty much have to wear an ESD band when messing with my PC in winters.
It doesn't seem to be the case with most people though.
I don't know in scientific terms, but to me ESD happens a lot more on dry plastics than rubber.
