Shipping Times Comparison - December 2024 Update
Yeah, I had a similar experience with Global ID's standard shipping in early December – 12 days on the nose. Way quicker than my fall order, so looks like they've tightened up the routing. No customs drama either; the low-key packaging and generic declaration probably helped it breeze through. Honestly, it's a solid option if you don't need express.
I just got my FastTrack order in 6 days too, right in the middle of the December rush. DHL Express all the way, tracking was solid, and customs cleared in under 12 hours. Way faster than I expected. Packaging was just a standard bubble mailer with cardboard inserts – no issues. Pretty impressed with the speed.
Yeah, I'm seconding this. Honestly, Express has been the move for me this month too. Standard took almost 4 weeks and the envelope was beat up—not great. Express? 9 days door-to-door, cleared customs in a day. That peace of mind alone is worth the extra cash right now.
Yeah, from my experience weekend delivery is a thing, but it's pretty spotty. FedEx Saturday delivery has worked consistently for me – I've had packs ship Thursday and show up Saturday morning, no issues. USPS? Forget it on weekends. Your best bet is to ask the vendor directly if they can upgrade you to FedEx Saturday delivery. Even then, tbh, be ready for Monday if it misses the sort. Hope that helps!
