When I bought my frameset on 18 August they said it would ship within 5 days of payment. On 20 September it finally shipped and now it's seemingly held up at customs. This has not been a pleasant experience.
I find that it usually takes about a month before it actually gets to your front door when ordering from China, but if that means avoiding import tax by all means I don't mind waiting a little longer.
