EmmienLightFan Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I am doing a Halloween display, however most of the stuff I need is still with Ray Wu On his AliExpress store it says he will despatch it in up to 10 business days. Does he normally wait until right at the end or does he do it quite fast. I am choosing 7-10 days shipping, so if he despatches it on Monday, it should arrive by the 21st, just on time, but if he despatches it any later I don't think I have enough time.

Darryl Lambert Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 During any other time of the year Ray's usually pretty fast but not now. This is when he is the busiest. 2 years ago I ordered a bunch of pixels towards the end of October, the 20th I think. Even though Ray said I would get them soon they didn't arrive until Dec. 12th!!!I'm not the only one this has happened to. Now I usually order fron Ray in the Jan- June months. Just a note I order directly through Ray ( not Aliexpress ) It's definatlely cheaper on the shipping. If ordering with Aliexpress Ray may be forced to adhere to some kind of timeline in order for him to get his money, I don't know. Aliexpress is just the middleman in this. They hold the $$ until the customer says that they are happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMurray Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 How do you order directly from his site. I only get links to AliExpress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Lambert Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 You can email him directly at ray@rita-light.com or alpha_bill@yahoo.cnI usually use the first one. Just ask for a quote with the product description & product id # and the shipping address. As a reminder this is with Ray directly so you don't have the protection of using Aliexpress. If something goes wrong you will have to deal with him to get it sorted out. His been pretty good so far dealing with issues. I've had things not show up as described or missing parts & he's made good. I think he knows most of us crazy christmas guys talk so he tries to keep us happy.

Darryl Lambert Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 No problem.I think Ray prefers to do business this way. It keeps Aliexpress from taking a cut of the action. Thanks for the info! BTW I loved you in ghostbusters!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugopj Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 They seem to have lots of holidays over there which can also slow things down. Happened to me last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmienLightFan Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 I am worried that I will not get the stuff in time. If I do it directly, he may not send it out in time. I think I will order all the stuff for Halloween over AliExpress with 7 day shipping and the remaining Christmas stuff I can email him and order.
