If I’m reading the tracking info correctly, It was picked up at ~4:30 PM Taiwan time on April 8. That was 4:30 AM April 8 my time. So, it took ~29.5 hours from pickup to delivery.
Given that I’m ~50 miles from both Logan Airport in Boston, and TF Green Airport in Rhode Island, and flight time from Taipei to Boston is ~16 hours, it’s not too surprising. The tracking info says it made it to the locak FedEx facility at ~8 AM today. I thought that was too late to get on a truck, but obviously I was wrong.
Edit: Looking at the tracking info more closely, the shipment went through Anchorage, and Indianapolis. My flight time of ~16 hours was based on a direct flight.
This is incredibly fast! That being said, others should not expect their packages the next day, I believe yours was an exception, it usually takes more time than that.
I heard another person within the NYC Metro area (Queens, NYC) got theirs the next day, but seeing as that I am closer to EWR (Newark Int’l) where Fedex also flies in and has facilities, I’m hoping to get similar results.

Amazed that it got all the way from Taiwan to US west coast in a day. Everything was pretty quick and painless with the purchase and delivery procedure.
Well 1 we are in the USA. Fedex has multiple direct flights to the US each day from TW.
Very much luck on my part as I have known my driver for ~6years we chat sometimes, and he said my box and a couple others (Not necessarily from Frame Work) where added at the last second and he was finalizing his route and about to leave.
I have a feeling the amount of traffic to the UK from TW is low/not a full plane, so they stop at different hubs to offset/fill the extra space.
I suspect you will find that there is a complete pallet shipped to USA, whereas European/UK orders have a pallet that gets to Franfurt or Cologne and is then split by country. Then the customs clearance is done by country, especially the UK.
Question for folks… I see Batch 10 is getting their prep emails. But I’m Batch 9 and haven’t seen mine yet. Is there a list somewhere of what would cause a hold up? Delayed components, etc?
