That's the thing, you probably don't know that it's being delivered to you directly from China when you put in the order to the North American seller. They pass on the order to the Chinese company, that then ships it directly to you rather than the seller. The seller never touches the item. Anyway, if the shipping is super cheap (as in free) on inexpensive items, I now assume that it will be delivered in this way, and is likely to take a long time.

I know that you're not really complaining about the long delivery time, but I thought I'd throw this out there in case some are unaware of this new arrangement (rather than the old one of the seller stocking items locally and shipping them to the customer).
