DElayed Ray Wu shipment??

[BobinWV]

Ordered some material from Ray a week ago.  My delivery was initially scheduled for Wed the 17th then slipped to the 18th and now the latest info from FedEx is the 24th!!
Anyone heard of shipping problems from China?

All the time. They take a lot of holidays.

On another forum I saw that apparently all shipments are being held up for detailed scrutiny.

Bad time of year to order anyway. I hope you get your stuff before Christmas season.

This time it seems to be the Chinese Govt cracking down on shippers and shipments.  I also have a package that was picked up by DHL last monday and I've been looking forward to getting my new props built.

Anytime I order from Ray I order in Jan or Feb

I figured it was more apple throwing their weight around and bumping all other deliveries. People need their new iPhones in time for Christmas.

Received this from Ray today:

sorry for that, i did ship out 。
my dhl forwarder said there is a sudden very strict inspection in the board between HK and shenzhen (China mainland),and my DHL forwarder use HK DHL, once the inspection has been approved, the dhl website will update the tracking number information.
i have explained this matter to many customers these 3 days, this is a Emergency situations for us.

Unfortunately for me, I just decided to setup a display at a second location (an apartment) and I am JUST NOW trying to order stuff from Ray.  Will be interesting to see how the timing works out.

Anyone have any good luck the last week or two? I've been staring at a FedEx order the last week that hasn't moved and it has a tracking number

I got my shipping notice from Ray on 9/15, received my package on 9/24.  So a few extra days over what I have experienced in the past.  I'm thinking of ordering a few more flexstrips since I have some cash and I would not be worried about delivery as long as he has product available to ship and I don't have to wait for manufacturing.  This would be for stuff I could skip or just add to the display mid season and not stuff that I must have to start my show.

I have $1100.00 worth of stuff from Ray that has yet to be delivered. But, it's like that every time. At the last minute, he always comes through. Go figure?


I got an email 4 days ago from Ray indicating that he would be shipping tomorrow and as of yet nothing. Just curious, my orders are usually between 500 and 1100 dollars. How about everybody else? What's the dollar amount of your typical order?

[jnealand]

Mine are usually in the 400 - 500 range.  I just nibble away at making changes to my display and never have made large changes.  Probably the largest change for me was when I first went from static to animated 8 years ago.

I will order much earlier next year.  I ordered in this year's LSH group buy (mid-July timeframe) and our stuff is packaged and will probably be shipped in the next few days.    I would have liked to have the stuff already....   It is edging ever closer to Thanksgiving night!!  My 2014 display is dependent on getting this stuff!!  It is my megatree.

[drlucas]

Got my stuff this week. Two weeks. Not too bad I guess

[jnealand]

I just ordered some more flexstrips from Ray.  He says they are in stock so will see how long it takes.  Just paid yesterday.   I'll be suprised if they ship before Monday or Tuesday next week.
