    Where are you currently located? Was the item even in stock?

    I know DX is slow (since they are from Hong Kong) but I have had items wait for a month as well.

    An item in stock usually takes 1-3 days to be "shipped" and about 10-12 days to reach North Carolina, USA.

    The times an item is back-ordered I have to wait up to a month.

    When buying from DX you have to have patience. Your trading off price for that. I recommend you do not buy from them if you need the item in the near future.

    Actually there shipping only takes a couple weeks to a month. Its the month it takes them to even package and ship a in stock item that slows it down LOL. Hence the 2 month wait.

    I think the shipping is very quick, usually less than a week to the UK, but the loooooonnnnnnng wait for it to be despatched is the killer. I think the despatch time has got longer since I started ordering early last year. But its still cheap!

    I ordered from them January 23rd, my item just shipped out. It was in stock, stated 1-3 days to ship... lol

    Has anyone ever tried to contact them for help? Actually, my question should be, has anyone ever received a response from a question you've sent them? I emailed them at the first of January and I'm still waiting for a response!

    If you submit a ticket they usually respond in under 2 days. Thats how my last package got shipped, I submitted a ticket and ask what was taking so long for a in stock item? The status turned to packaging within hours then it shipped the next day. Honestly I think they are so backloged that they lost track and forget to ship some orders.


    There is no doubt in my mind that it would have never shipped if I had not ask about my order.

    Like others have said in the past there service had been pretty good and it use to only take 2-3 weeks from placing a order to it arriving at my door.

    i agree with oosel, I've contacted them twice about the shipping and an update and every next day my shipment is updated, could be a coincidence or there is something to it, also my package finally hit the US, i hope it doesn't take 2 more weeks, lol
