Key Factors Impacting Delivery Speed
Several variables can shorten or extend the estimated delivery window.
1. Customs Clearance
All international packages must clear US CBP. This can add 2-7 days
2. Seasonal Fluctuations
Major shopping events create significant delays:
- November - January (Holiday Season):
- Chinese New Year (Late Jan - Feb):
- Single's Day (11.11) & Other Sales:
3. Logistics Partner & Final Mile
Once in the US, packages are handed off to carriers like USPS, UPS, or Lasership. Reliability varies, and this "final mile" can sometimes introduce unexpected delays of a few days.

Community discussions highlight the variability in experiences.
"Ordered a custom keyboard kit mid-November. It shipped quickly from LoongBuy but then sat in 'AIRLINE DEPARTURE' for almost three weeks. Total time to California: 28 days. Pretty much what I expected for the holiday season." – Reddit user r/MechanicalKeyboards
