LED finger lights - how quick did yours arrive?

Ordered some from Amazon, they were dispatched this morning but I hadn't realised they were coming from China! Estimated delivery is between 21st December and sometime in January. So just wondering if anyone can tell me how quick yours arrived? I think I need to find alternative stocking fillers in case these don't arrive in time!

I've had stuff arriving from China take between 2.5 - 6 weeks. I always order using free postage, so can't imagine it taking less than 2 weeks.

Those finger lights can be bought from UK sellers on eBay for about £1.50, if you're desperate.

Primark have some if they don't arrive in time.

I think mine took about a week to arrive from Amazon.

Some other bargain thread items from China came quickly though

My first lot took about a month, second lot (from same seller in China but closer to Christmas) were here in under a week Confused

SpecificRim · 16/12/2013 12:38

Thanks for all the replies. I'm pretty sure now they won't arrive in time. Will have a look tonight for a uk seller, I'm unlikely to be in Primark again so that's a shame.
Oh well, I will have some stocking fillers ready for Xmas 2014!

AmeliaToppingLovesShopping · 17/12/2013 00:10

I ordered mine on 4th December and my amazon account is showing that they have been despatched and I have seen on my bank statement that the money has been taken. It is saying that the estimated delivery date is between 13 December and 6th January.

insanityscatching · 17/12/2013 06:14

Mine came the day before the latest day indicated on the dispatch note so I think about five weeks.

SpecificRim · 21/12/2013 09:53

Thanks everyone. I ordered some from a uk seller on Amazon and they have arrived!

I'm waiting on one last thing from China arriving, and have crossed everything Xmas Grin
The longest anything has taken so far is 6 weeks and 2 days, and the quickest was 3 days! so I haven't given up hope of it arriving...
Is every stocking belonging to a MNetters child having LED finger lights this year? I got 3 sets for my lot Xmas Grin
