The stuff from china tends to either arrive reasonably
quickly, or it takes an interminable amount of time.
And, of course, if it comes over on a boat, and the
container happens to get "selected", it can take even
longer.  The lack of a narrow bell curve of estimates
will drive some people crazy.

My usual recommendation (if you can swing it) is
that if you find something that works (and is not
too expensive), is buy a spare or two and let them
sit in your "spares" bin for when you need one
quickly.  You can always try to sell them on eBay
for a mark up because you can ship overnight to
those that did not plan well (there are people who
apparently do quite well using that approach in
bulk "US shipper!").
