Meanwhile that laptop battery I ordered from Alibaba 2 months ago just shipped. They said it should arrive in 30 - 45 days. Yesterday I just got a new blade for my bandsaw, it was shipped 10 days ago.

Isn't it amazing what our expectations for shipping times are now.



Ugh I ordered something from Deal Extreme a while back and had completely forgotten I ordered it by the time it came in the mail several months later.


I've come to enjoy this about Deal Extreme. As long as you know to expect several month long shipping times, it ends up being a happy surprise when an awesome little gift arrives at your door that you had completely forgotten about ordering.
