Black Tree Miniatures

It's only been a week since dispatch message but there isn't really any way to track.. not fully eoe's fault but just to give an update. on 14th July it's listed as dispatched and the shipping details just say "On it's way". So as they are US company, though have a UK arm but I don't know what state.. I was gonna say I don't know what state that is in but I do know.. They said in the e-mails I had, they still have the UK Supply chain but they are trying to do more in-house. Since alot of the figures I ordered were old ones which are meant to be no-longer in production (due to license) and just old stock, which is why it's limited what parts they have, and they state the UK site is currently going to be redone but the US one can take UK orders. I would expect you still have US to UK shipping times.

But as stated, shipping detail is limited So all I know is it's stated to have been dispatched. Shopify is crap with tracking detail at times.. keeps wanting me to download something to a smart phone and use that to track but 1) if they does give more information, it's a poor way to do it, and 2) if it doesn't give more information, then why would I do that?

As I ordered something else from a private seller in the US (admittly, I think a different part but it was from someplace away from the east cost) I'll be using that as a rough guide to current US to UK shipping times. I ordered that on the 12th and I believe I got to the shipping company to ship to the UK on the 18th. Had to travel across the USA or a bit after dispatch. So that bit has taken a week. (by they way, they are some nice figures I'll say about later in a different place cause they are unrelated to this matter).
 
Okay, quick update as I did say I would compare it with the one item:

The item I got from a private seller in Kansas has arrived. It was ordered on the 10th July with an estimate of 11th August, so arriving on 24th July is pretty nice.

It was using something called Asendia USA and was picked up by USPS on the 12th transported across the USA to.. erm.. Illinois then from there to the UK then through customs in the UK and via Royal Mail to me. So.. from Kansas though what I don't think it's the fastest shipping took 2 weeks.

the EOE order is from Texas. There tracking details aren't great as it's still on saying "Shipment is on its way" but I'm used to rubbish tracking. That was sent on the 14th, So as Texas is, as far as I can work out, next door to Kansas (well, there is a tiny bit of Oklahoma between... and Texas is FAR bigger.. but my geography of the USA isn't great) I would expect the EoE order by the end of next week. So I'll see how that goes.
