The package came in that was sent via AliExpress Standard Shipping. Something interesting happened. Here's the tracking from the AliExpress site:
Notice several days spent in Hebron, Kentucky. Now notice the package I received:
It appears to me it must have been repackaged or labeled at that stop. There is no indication at all that this came from China. It did take 19 days verses 8 days for the ePacket item I tried. The ePacket labels clearly showed it coming from China though.
I hope this helps you guys.
