In my experience they dispatch the goods by the day after I've ordered them. However, now that they are using DHL it takes longer to receive them, especially since DHL turn the goods over to USPS. I follow tracking whenever there is a tracking number, and it wasn't actually DHL's fault, the goods got to DHL's destination quickly, the slowness was that of USPS taking the order from DHL and delivering it. It takes approximately a week now to cross the country. I suppose it's human nature, especially nowadays, to want everything right now and perhaps sometimes there is a valid urgent need, but I don't think that waiting a week or so should be enough to stop you ordering from a company.

Well, I'm going to give you some examples. I've ordered some charm squares on eBay from a person in Washington state. I got them 3 days later. I ordered from Craftsy 04/12/2016. Got my order on 04/19/2016. They used Newgistics for shipping. This past big sale, Black Friday, August 19th. I had a large order. They are using DHL shipping and my delivery date was pushed up from August 25th. To August 29th. DHL- Don't Hire us Losers is slower. There is another popular company dedicated to quilting and it's no better in shipping time. This is my last order to them. Long shipping times are Not the norm anymore. Automation was supposed to have sped up shipping. Couldn't convince me with some of these companies.
