hmm, describes it pretty good.
I have No Idea why people say it is "cheaper than DHL" ?
The package is one quarter the size of the Pinebook Pro package, and a fraction of the weight.
Yet approximately half the price. $33 verses $15. USD -- So per pound of weight it IS more expensive !
( IF you buy 12 donuts for $12 USD, or 1 donut for $6 USD, ... is that really "Cheaper" ? )
I will be surprised if it takes less than another week to actually "Leave New York"
ONE Consolation is :
I suppose it does give the Software people a bit more time to move the operating systems closer to functioning..... ?
Starting to wonder myself when the "package" will leave NY. Do you suppose there might be some sort of Coronavirus "hold/quarantine" being applied when Customs/airport/USPS saw China as country of origin?
So close, yet so far...

When it actually enters the USPS mail stream it will state that.,
Mine says " Processed through the facility ISC New York, NY Febuary 02, 2020, 1:23pm"
No updates since, so Customs are still holding it.
I guess it is a plus it is finally in the destination country !
BUT it would not be surprising for New York Customs to hold it for a few weeks,
as they normally hold items originating from China....
Los Angeles Customs push them through in a few hours, not weeks.
I received an update saying it was in Queens, NY. I guess some of them have passed customs hopefully?
