I thought it'd be a good idea to have a thread showing what the shipping times were for all over the world.

To Australia:
From:
Within Aus: 1-2 days standard, Next day express
US: ~2 weeks standard post, <1 week express.
China: ~2-3 weeks standard, < 10 days express.

To Canada:
From:
China: 2-3 weeks standard
Europe: 1 week standard
US: 2-3 weeks standard

To Europe:
From:
Australia: 8 - 9 days
China: 4 - 6 days EMS
South America: ~2 weeks
US: 1 - 2 weeks Priority International.

To US:
From:
China: ~2 weeks standard, 3 - 4 days EMS

If everyone else can inform me of times to Europe and US etc. I'll update this post and try to make a complete list for all over the world.

Here's two I've had pretty consistant results with:

To US from China: EMS Express: 3 to 4 days.
To EUR from US: Priority International: 6days to 14days.

By the way, do let me know when the package I sent you arrives, USPS hasn't updated their tracking in more than a week for me.
 
To Sweden from China regular post: 5-7 days
To Sweden from China EMS: 4-6 days
To Sweden from US: 9-10 days (but my fastest was 4)
To Sweden from Aus: 8-9 days
To Sweden from South America: 15-16 days

Thats all I know.
 
Thanks guys. I'm hoping to make an extensive enough list to have it stickied for all to get an idea of how long to expect to wait.

Sigurthr - I've been keeping an eye on USPS and Aus Post but neither are showing anything new. I'm expecting them to turn up on my birthday which would make it exactly 2 weeks from when you posted them. I'm not sure if they'll be an issue at customs though?

It should get through customs with no issue. I labeled it as "repaired lab optics".
 
But there are a lot of factors. You never know for example when the chinese are going to take a month long holiday to celebrate a dragon or something. (which happened to me once...)
 
My personal experience:

(To Canada via regular post)
China: 2-3 weeks
US: 2-3 weeks
Europe: 1 week

China is somehow usually faster than the US for me :thinking:

I'm also trying to email a friend who lives in China so he can give me a full list of the Chinese holidays so I can put it in here too :beer:

I too have found that it's faster from China than from the US. Maybe it's just their postal service?

Very strange how the country next to you takes 2-3 weeks while the countries on the other side of the pond takes 1 week.

Yeah, I think it has something to do with customs. Or maybe I've just had good look ordering from the UK. I've only ordered 3 times, so there is a possibility I just had good luck all 3 times, and they came super fast :P
