Understanding delivery windows, customs, and real user experiences from Reddit and Discord.
The Standard Shipping Timeline
For buyers in the United States, LoongBuy's shipping process involves several stages. The total delivery time is typically calculated from the moment your order is processed and shipped
Therefore, a realistic average is 15-30 total calendar days. However, this is highly dependent on the shipping method you select at checkout (e.g., Standard, ePacket, Express).
Key Factors Impacting Delivery Speed
1. Customs Clearance
This is the most significant variable. All international packages must clear U.S. Customs. While most pass through quickly, random inspections or improper documentation can cause delays of a week or more. Ensure your seller provides accurate customs forms.
2. Seasonal Delays & Holidays
Major sales events (Black Friday, 11.11), Chinese New Year (factory closures), and peak holiday seasons (November-December) can add 1-3 weeks to processing and transit times. Plan your orders accordingly.
3. Shipping Method & Carrier
LoongBuy often aggregates items from different sellers. Consolidated shipping saves money but can add time. Paid express options (like DHL, FedEx) significantly reduce transit time to 5-10 days but are more expensive.
