Anyone buying from ERP

Just want to reiterate Chinese vendors consider anything destined for US soil "domestic warehouse." Many times your product is not yet in the US or would have never been in the US had you not ordered. Vendors will provide a tracking number when you ask despite not having a package stateside to ship. This is why the "label created" stage can take weeks (months on one of my orders). They also have to rely on split shippers (as "warehouses") who are sometimes running their own little ponzi scheme selling on the side.

I'm putting this back out there for newer members tempering expectations and Karen prevention.

That’s great information. Some of my orders from China come in very fast others not so much ( as short as 12 days and as long as 50 days so far ). There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. What I can be sure of going down the rabbit hole is real !

I had no idea! Appreciate the info. I wouldn't describe my mood over this as anything other than "mildly annoyed" so I definitely won't be freaking out on Emmy, but thank you!
