Buying from China - Delivery Timeline

    Has anyone had experience of buying on ebay from China? The delivery guideline is listed as anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks for the particular item I am looking at (clothing). I suppose as with everything it will depend on a number of factors (the seller, the item, etc.) but what is people's experience of this, do items generally deliver closer to the 2 weeks or 6 weeks or is it completely random? 6 weeks seems an incredibly long time to me for delivery. I know it's far away but I would have thought standard air mail would be a lot quicker than this, like a week or two at most.

    I have bought a few small items from Chinese sellers (kindle covers, iPad covers, headphones, tools etc). It varies but usually 3-4 weeks.

    Up to 2 months, especially in terms of clothing. 4 weeks at least.
