So I ordered 100 Astras from the guy on the bay from Turkey over a month ago, I know I live in Hawaii and expected it to take a while but dos it really take this long for international orders? Just wondering so next time I do need blades again or anything else I'll order from the homeland instead.

Not usually, that long. A week maybe.
I've got stuff from Singapore in a little less than two weeks. Would have had my doubts about ordering, except that the specific vendor had been recommended here.
Don't know how mail from Turkey compares, but wouldn't think it would be that much longer.

I ordered some Green Pack 7 O'Clock Perma Sharps from India and it did take 3 or 4 weeks to arrive.
You can order the Astras from West Coast Shaving.

Or completely lose your mind and order them by the thousands at Barber Depot for $9/100 shipped.
But if you're in NJ, you have to pay 7% Sales Tax.
It's $11.77 in person for 100. I think.

Well, the online price for a 100 is $11.00, so that sounds about right. I'm only getting them $9/100 by ordering a 1000 blades and getting 100 free.
He is a reliable seller. AFAIK he ships once a week, and the X-mas period will have caused delay. I would check with him, to find out where your parcel is.

Someone ordered it for me and supposedly is on its way, though last time checked I believe it hadn't made its way to the U.S. yet. I'm sure it will come eventually, though if things take this long internationally then I'll stick to ordering locally.
We ordered from the same guy, I bet. I am on the mainland and I JUST received them. I ordered before Christmas.

I got some car parts from scotland and it took 4 months to get here.
That's because the ship's engine was made by Ford and so it had to sail to North America.
Just kidding, I love Ford and I trust them with my life.
