I had two packages of merchandise shipped Monday from my supplier in Guangdong via DHL. It was delivered to me in NY, Thursday morning by 11am. Sure, it almost doubled the per unit cost of my product...but the 1000% markup I get on them after paying double the cost is enough to make that irrelevant. You can get stuff here fast, if you're willing to pay a few bucks for it.

ePacket via AliExpress, I've gotten stuff in a week. It's not 1 day or same day, but consider it's coming from the other side of the world and it's not a bad deal.

How things will unfold when all this Corona crap clears up remains to be seen. I'm trying to find someone to make my product in Vietnam and India as of today.
