That's totally normal for Aliexpress based shipping, it's really improved a lot since a couple years ago. What was your last shipping update? Updates going dead for 3 days is nothing to be concerned about. You'll basically get a bunch of dead time then exited country and then not another one until it touches your home country. I do agree that $133 shipping it should be one of the major couriers but also from my exp in Canada you're more likely to get destroyed on fees/taxes via one of those as well.

Hello jerozilla,
I agree that 3 days with no updates isn't a big deal, but it's been 13 days since the last tracking update, which simply reads "Arrived at linehual office"(sic). I contacted AliX customer service today and they encouraged me to file a dispute, which I have now done.
Did F-C give you a delivery estimate? He initially told me 20-30 days. I protested and I reminded him of the $133 shipping charge. He shipped very promptly and tracking info showed it was making quick progress, which made me think he sped up the process. Again, I'm not blaming F-C at this point, it's on the shipper to deliver the goods.
