Amazon Shipping in a nutshell:
- "Next Day Delivery" - Why I'm paying for Prime
- "Priority" - Slow
- "Expedited"- Ridiculously Slow
- "Standard" - Like Watching Paint Dry
This is probably being shipped from an Amazon Fulfilment centre in Europe.

@CUDAcores89 I like to buy hobby electronics like relays, temperature modules, switches, laser diodes, many many other things (3D printer parts) super super cheap, <$1.00 or even pennies a piece from a website called Gearbest. Only caveat is it takes 30+ days to deliver so I have to order well ahead of time.
I have the patience to wait though.
Also most paints cure in 8 or so hours ready for recoat within 24 (or less). I wish shipping deliveries were that fast.

@CUDAcores89 Compared to any american retailer $150 gets me A LOT of little trinkets that allow me to build any number of circuits. For example $4.82 worth of probes, controllers, relays, & wires is letting me convert a freezer into a refrigerator.
Although Gearbest definitely lacks some basic things that I want like simply long lengths of stranded 18, 20, & 24AWG wire (what most of the wires in your computer are made up of).
