Yesterday I ordered some cross stitch supplies from Italy, I did pay a couple of euros extra for express shipping. That evening I got an email with a status update: they were gathering my order but since it was a really busy time it might take longer than normal before it was shipped. I didn't expect it until at least the second half of next week. I don't know how fast they normally ship, but this afternoon I got an email telling me it was shipped and DHL should deliver it tomorrow.
Meanwhile I ordered some art supplier in my own country. Items they have in stock. Basically their website states that orders usually ship within 5 business days. But there's also a warning on their front page orders take longer to arrive at the moment. Previous orders all shipped the day after ordering.
Luckily I'm more looking forward to my cross stitch supplies than my art supplies.
