Hacking Flashcart Shipping

I didn't pay for shipping and it's been 30 days. I did get a tracking number, and I e-mailed them today about it being 20 business days (they said 7-20 business days) since the first update on the tracking number, from September 7. No response, but an hour or so later, the tracking finally updated, saying it's now processing and stuff in Chicago, I'm in Pennsylvania. So it should arrive at the latest, Tuesday.

How long does a delivery take if flashcart is ordered with hong kong air mail (no tracking#) (Site is Ndscard.com)
Unregistered shipping from China/HK to Norway (and from what I have seen it's similarly slow around the world) is around 2.5 weeks-a month, but usually 3-4 weeks. Basic registered shipping is on average about a week faster.
I always suggest to go with registered shipping as it usually only costs a couple bucks and saves you a week on shipping time. But recently I tried out ePacket from a China/HK site, it arrived only 9 days after the site marked it as shipped but according to the tracking the package wasn't actually collected by the postal service until 3 days later, it took 5 days after that to get to Norway and then another day to get to my postbox. So the actual shipping time was only 6 days which is really good.

So if ePacket is an option and only costs a couple bucks, go with that as it's way faster than unregistered and still faster than basic registered shipping, and (at least here) unlike basic registered shipping it's delivered straight to your mailbox. But if that's not an option go with registered shipping if it's just a couple bucks. It's worth it to get your package a week sooner.

They give you a shipping window for a reason. No one can give you an answer as to when. There are too many variables at play that could change the amount of time it takes; that might have been different for someone else. When you pay for shipping, they give you a window; If you paid for air, you should know what timeframe you were paying for..... Why would anyone
 
i knew that with free airmail shipping, the mail is shipped outside china only twice per month. ipotetically if you ordered on 15th and the mail got shipped on 14th you have to wait more.

Btw i had a tracking with free hk airmail. it's too risky without tracking, I never bought from them but how can be sure that it's not a scam?

Typically when I order stuff from China, it ranges from around 3 weeks to a little over a month. They basically toss stuff on a boat and ship out everything all at one time from my understanding, so it's possible your flash cart might very well sit on a boat for a week without actually moving anywhere.
