    Default Tototek shipping time?

    I ordered a PCE flash cartridge from Tototek on the 24th, and as of the 3rd it still says it's being processed for departure. Is this normal? I did pay with an eCheck, so it didn't clear until the 28th.

    I'm guessing the 21-day estimate is for countries that have bad customs like Italy? 10 days from the day I get the notice that it's left Hong Kong I should have it at my door if I live in the USA?

    I can't remember how long it took for me to get my flash card from Tototek a couple of months ago, but I don't believe it was anything out of the ordinary. A week or so, if that. I assume you opted for the EMS services?

    Fastest thing I ever got anything through EMS was a computer from Japan that left the country on a Monday and arrived at my doorstep on Wednesday. Now that's shipping.

    Japanese are celebrating a holiday through the first week of May.

    I just wish they could get the SMS-Pro back in stock, considering it's the only flash cart solution I've found for the Master System.

    The EverDrive (MD/Genny flash cart) is supposed to have it's SMS play issues sorted out with the rev 2 board. I ordered mine a week ago. I'll see if that holds water when it arrives.

    Sorry, can't help you about Tototek's shipping habits. I'm also interested to know because I plan to get a PC-E flashcart eventually.

    It's coming from Hong Kong.

    It's just standard air mail, not EMS.

    Tototek shipping usually takes a couple weeks. I recently got a parcel from them and it took no more than 20 (business) days. I wasn't in a rush either so I didn't mind. This was Air Mail too.
    Whaddya mean invalid parameters?!

    9,000 gigs of ram and it still can't answer a simple question!

    Damn, I forgot about Golden Week when I ordered my PC Engine on eBay. Oh well, I suppose I should expect to get it sometime next week...

    I recently ordered a couple controller adapters from them and it took a little while, over 10 days. I wouldn't start getting concerned until three weeks have gone by and you haven't seen anything.

    I ordered from one of their associates before, and I remember it took like a week. But it got shipped out faster, the thing says it still hasn't been shipped out yet.

    It says, "The item (*tracking number*) is being processed for departure from Hong Kong as of 3-May-2010."

    I'm guessing it takes a while for it to leave Hong Kong?

    Okay, it still hasn't shipped out yet. Should I be concerned? I sent them an email and posted on their forum.
