How long does it take for an open order to arrive?

How long should it take for an order from Hongkong to arrive in FL? Credit card charged 27 days ago, item shipped 10/28

  • I ordered the E-cigarettes from http://BigBoxStore.com back on Oct. 20. Seems like a loooong time for the order to arrive. Is this normal or have I been 'scammed'? They keep saying, "Be patient", it's on it's way...hmmmmmm...I wonder

  • Answer:

    Well, if it's on the proverbial slow boat from China, it could take 30-45 days. It's one of the drawbacks of buying stuff from China, especially if you order plain old ground delivery.

Ebay purchase? Most of mine from Hong Kong take around 3 weeks. I have had one arrive in 7 days, but that was a fluke. And one never arrived, and they shipped the replacement the day I emailed them. My guess is that you will have it within this week.

I'd think it should be arriving just about any day now. It generally takes about a week - 10 days for a package to arrive in Texas from Europe which is roughly the same distance -only in a different direction. Whether its being sent by Registered Mail or just ordinary mail will also possibly come into play since those are the only choices any more, the Post Office having done away with Surface and Air several years ago. I'd say if you haven't gotten by the 24th, you aren't going to get it. That's more than enough time.

LOL..they said it was shipped via 'air mail'...maybe the 'carrier pigeon' is lost enroute...

That's encouraging...LOL I've never had an order take so long to arrive. They said it was Christmas holiday there and the post was slow. Weird.

It finally arrived on 11/22...just about 3 weeks from the day they said they shipped, 10/28.

Told ya so :-)

Thanks, OH...I'll be patient. I want to use the E-cigs to stop smoking
