Just ordered some new lights of deal extreme...

Anyone who has used this site have any idea how long it took to receive the items??

it says 5 - 15 working days which is a bit vague, although they do ship worldwide... Hence the reason to put that...

So anyone here in the UK have any ideas?

    I know this will be unlikely to happen to anyone else but I ordered some bits from DX. Shipped on 6th October 2011 from HK, delivered 28th January 2012. :roll: :mrgreen:

    For this reason I won't order from them any more unless its delivered from their UK warehouse.

    Roll every dice you own, it'll take that number of days. I've had fast deliveries and others where rather than using a plane they relied on continental drift to get the package here.

    I've used them a fair bit... mostly about 4 weeks for me. Worth the wait - but I would not use them for anything urgent!

    A lot of the Chinese companies close down for up to a week for Chinese New Year (23rd Jan this year) so you may find there's been a bit of a backlog to clear which won't help delivery times.

    My last order from China took about 8 weeks, the one from the UK warehouse took from Sunday night to Wednesday morning. All of the email updates I got were tosh :)
