legobear Posted October 22, 2007 Hi guys :-) , I'm a novice at using Bricklink, recently I ordered a set from the Netherlands on bricklink.....it was shipped on 10-08-07 and was wondering how long does it actually take to ship to California. I chose a shipping rate of $10 USD. If any of you have experience with buying goods from europe in the U.S could you give me an estimate? That way I can write to the seller if it goes past that certain deadline. Thanks so much guys :-) I have no idea what to expect :-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupaaSayajin Posted October 22, 2007 Hey I can't tell you from netherlands, but I sent a package to usa a month ago and it hasn't arrived yet and thus i live in germany, thats right next to netherlands, either the shipping really does take very long, or the us custom is opening each package and lazy sending em on :-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snefroe Posted October 22, 2007 usually, when i get a package from the USA, it takes about 14 days by airmail, i guess it may be the other way around as well... btw, you may have to pay import tax.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gylman Posted October 22, 2007 Unless it is a very small item, 10$ usually means surface mail. That means 4-6 weeks. Sometimes more. + a beaten up box usually. Let us know when it comes though. Useful to keep track of these things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

highlandcattle Posted October 27, 2007 One good advice I give , pay that one buck for insurance, it helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turaga of Force Posted October 28, 2007 Based on my experience, 1 to 2 weeks. Maybe a little longer, depending on the size, weight, and shape of package, shipping method, and how quick the seller is at getting stuff sent out :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
