I've signed up again with e-bay, it'll only be a matter of time before the account is hacked and all sorts of hassle goes down but in the meantime I needed a few electronics bits that I could only find on there. One expensive (£120) comes from the USA with paid ($20) postage. Once cheap (£11) comes from China with free postage. Both packages are about the same size and posted on the same day.
Bit surprised then to find out that the Chinese parcel gets here a whole 5 days before the American one. What does this tell us? Not a lot, except perhaps not to be so dubious of ordering stuff from China, which opens up a whole new world of purchasing obscure crap.
