DHL tracking #'s today !!!

Usually by the time you get your tracking numbers it's almost there. 

[taybrynn]

I'd agree with that based on my own past experiences.

I just added a third extension to my order with Ray.  I ordered back on March 3rd.  So based on your timeline, it looks like a have another 2 weeks before it ships.

Depends on what you ordered most of the time.

I received a FedEx tracking # today.  It will be interesting to see who gets delivery first.  DHL vs FedEx - China to Colorado.

I just received an order that used FedEx it took 14 days for them to get it to me once they got it moving it was fast but the 2 packages did allot of sitting around

I've never done fedex from China, but DHL moves crazy fast. Never been longer than 3 days

[MrChristmas2000]

I thought FedEX collected extra fees and import taxes vs DHL.

diyledexpress has been having trouble with Fed ex orders sitting for WEEKS..  My only Ray order can DHL, and once you get the tracking number it does move right along!

They sure did with me when I bought something from the US and had it come to Canada. USPS has been the best way for me to get stuff across the border. Never did an order with Fedex to Canada from China yet....DHL does collect taxes, but I've never paid more than $50 for duty coming in from DHL and I've placed most my orders with Ray in the $800 range.

I'm happy to report that my DHL boxes arrived today and everything appears great.

Ray did throw in some freebies for my delays, which is greatly appreciated.  Now I
just need to find time to test all 30 strings out and get the connectors soldered and
shrink wrapped on !

Ray also send replacement quick connectors since the batch I got last year was so
full of shorted connectors.

Thanks Ray!

Congratulations Scott!  Can't wait to see your next build.
My FedEx tracking has an estimated delivery in a couple of days.
Looking back at my previous orders with Ray, sometimes he uses DHL other times it's FedEx.  Not sure why he goes back and forth between the two.  I assume he goes with the best quote of the day.

[Richard]

I received my order yesterday. 
So DHL is definitely faster but at least FedEx didn't take 2 weeks to get to me. 
There were no additional charges on my end.

Update (April 18th): I just received a bill for $30 from FedEx for duties/customs/fees.   
If you get a quote from Ray request DHL shipping.

I ordered 24 Flex Strips on 4/13. They arrived on 4/18. Ray Wu does good on his orders.
