QRP-Labs gives you a choice of fast or slow shipping. Fast is expensive, depending on the size & weight of the item.
I recently ordered a couple items on Sept 18 via the fast method (DHL, I think it was.) The shipment was from Turkey, dated 9/27 and it arrived in early Oct via USPS. I think USPS does the "last mile" delivery for DHL.
BTW: I never received an order confirmation from QRP Labs, only a Paypal receipt. I've experienced that before, but the order always arrives. Nice items, and worth waiting for.
