**I'm in the USA.**

I bought a frame on Aliexpress which shipped on 12/9 and it is still "in transit" with no real tracking updates since 12/10.  No joke!  I have no idea if my frame is sitting at an airport warehouse awaiting a flight, or somewhere in the middle of an ocean on a ship. Maybe it's at port, waiting to be unloaded.  Maybe it's been run over by a forklift and is in a million pieces.  (Don't expect that kind of entry in the tracking info.)  It's even unclear per the tracking, if it's even left China at all!  In short, the situation sucks. 

I paid my seller $133 for shipping - for this level of service!?!  My seller told me 20 - 30 days in transit, and I'm almost at 30 days now with no end in sight.  I wish my seller had told me 45 - 60 days.  At least I'd have a clue about when to start waiting by my mailbox. 

In contrast, I bought a groupset on Ali on 11/11 sale, with free shipping, which shipped via UPS Expedited and only spent 4 days in transit.  I bought a wheelset from PeterXu and it shipped FedEx: again, four days in transit.  I had zero worries if FedEx or UPS was going to deliver.

So, if you have the ability to upgrade your shipping [for reasonable cost] DO IT.  You don't want to be in my cleats, trust me.

I'm in a pretty similar situation with my CWind GT30 that I ordered on 11/12/2024. I stopped getting shipping updates on 12/4 and just recently the shipping number has changed. I kinda still hope its going to show up but I didn't quite expect to wait this long given the estimated date was 12/12/2024. Technically I've got until 2/7/2025 until I can try to get a refund. Hopefully both of our frames show up soon!
