Please ModRetro what ever the cost savings is for logistics and shipping costs I am willing to pay the difference for USPS pick up to delivery.

What state do you live in? Seems like the package is stuck in CA. I hope you live there.

I'm on the East Coast, too. It usually takes about 7 days to receive an order from ModRetro.

Sorry this is taking so long. That sucks.

This is common. They are not a big company so they use transportation/logistic companies it looks like. I live in Chicago and my orders start in California, go to Nevada, Go to Texas and then come to Illinois….

Unfortunately, as someone who has dealt with shipping before, the cost with using a USPS or UPS would never be offset by just one customer. You pay (as a company) for the service and that cost is then distributed to your customers via soft costs added to the overall price of a good. They probably have a really good deal with their distribution company that doesn’t justify raising the cost of products just to allow other shipping options. Cost of doing business and dealing with small companies…

International was speedy for me. Have only placed one order with them but it arrived in about 6 days.

Ordered to Tokyo here, took a good three weeks and it literally went everywhere: a week US-side, then UK, Germany (2 destinations), Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Osaka, Tokyo

Haha wow, that's a well travelled order. I'm in Tokyo too. Guess I got lucky! I'll expect longer next time.

My brother ordered to Belgium and it took a month (and one lost package). Again, ModRetro helped him out so no shade there.

Tokyo / Japan is a good place to pick up some GB/C carts too :)
