tbh I havent seen too much of an issue with Ali-express orders, although thats just buying already produced items, im sure having something actually manufactured is probably delayed, been lots of shortages of stuff like switches etc in shops, though thats probably more due to the 2 issues combined of unexpected demand combined with slower production causing big shortages
but stuff I have ordered from china have still been arriving within 2 weeks usually (probably going to jinx myself now as im still waiting on a few things) really annoyed that one of my items got delayed by stupid customs to charge £3 import tax and then slap £8 handling fees on top
£8 to just look in a box and stick a bit of tape back on is obscene
