Well, this latest update made me take a second look! Didn't spot the NY at first and thought "Why the heck is my engine in Jamaica??

JAMAICA NY INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER, Arrived at USPS Regional Facility -> Your item arrived at our USPS facility in JAMAICA NY INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER on April 14, 2019 at 3:27 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

Sounds like your's has made the big jump Nick ... now it just has to make it to the upper midwest and to you!

Mine is still on that same airplane over eight days later, headed from China to the US. That is one SLOW airplane, but it seems to carry a lot of fuel.  ;c)

ps...Stoker, perhaps that 8 day long plane flight is running on naphtha drained from a gazillion hit and miss enroute to the US

Yep Rog ... I am a bit worried that they may be using my eachine engine as auxiliary power on this long slow flight.

Could this be the original "slow plane from China"?

Actually, my best guess is they are still awaiting delivery of the next production batch from the actual source, having sold me an engine that they did not really have in stock at the time. They're claiming to have already shipped it is just a ploy to keep me hopeful, so that I don't cancel my order. Unless a deal comes up that I can snag for sure, I'll let this one ride, as I believe the next batch production deliveries are likely scheduled for later this month (I hope ... maybe), but I obviously don't know for sure.

this is really unfortunate you fella's are having so much trouble , I think they are using these engines for generator back up for the navigational equipment & they keep having to fill that cussed little fuel tank.

Haha it's our own fault for trying to save a buck and not buying from reliable sellers... If mine arrives, it will be $295 all in after shipping. I've only been waiting 9 days since purchase and 4 since shipment and my original estimated delivery was Wed, Apr 24 - Mon, May 06
