Before reading, please get the thesaurus ready so an ample supply of pejorative terminology is readily at hand before the responses come forth.
In my best Andy Rooney (by the way, that guy really annoyed me) tone....
Why is it stuff I order (and pay for right from the get-go) from a way many companies, both US and foreign, so often takes WEEKS to arrive....when items shipped from CHINA show up at my door in anywhere from about 7-10 days?.
Example: I wanted a GD razor as a guinea pig. $6.99. Order hit the system October 25-arrived today (OK, 11 days).
Gotta wonder why??????
Don't...PLEASE...don't bring up shipping from that wonderful, most beloved vendor from Portugal who has all the fine Semogue brushes and sees to it you will have it no sooner than 3 weeks.
Bestshave.net...Turkey. Never more than 2 weeks. Turkey is a pretty long way from here.
Connaught and Shaving.ie..British Isles. Average of about 10 days. Again, not close. But then Britannia does rule the sea!
Certain US vendors (one from the Pacific northwest in particular...NOT WCS!! They're the good guys)..still waiting for a week old order to be "fulfilled", in spite of the fact product was to be shipped by Early to mid-October. Yeah..I know, I know, I know.
Granted...the world shall not come to an end if a brush doesn't arrive quicksmart, nor will it be a critical blow to civilization as we know it if a package of assorted blades, razors, and soaps takes a while (albeit extended while) to show up at the door. But don't you ever just wonder...WHY???
Sloth? Indifference? Really weird postal protocols? Just being mean?
Anyway..................
I'm getting suited up in the Nomex outfit right now.
