i've ordered a bunch of stuff from the UK over the years, with various shipping methods.

in my experience it's a general crap shoot with regard to delivery times. I've never had any problem at all actually getting the stuff i ordered, but delivery times have ranged to me in the NYC area from a couple days to multiple weeks. i think all the shops actually get the stuff out their door quickly, but it comes down to how fast they get out of the UK and how quickly they clear customs here, and whatever happens in between.

the way i look at it, is considering how cheap parts can be sourced from the UK, you place an order and wait. maybe i'll get lucky and the stuff comes super quick, maybe a wait a few weeks. i'm hardly ever in a hurry for parts these days.
