Have it put on the next balloon...

12 days is not bad at all, considered the low-priced shipping method they use. The worst wait I had during 2020 was about 50 days. 

 

I am gonna digress a bit here: as far as I know, many Chinese vendors have fully realized the impact of slow shipping to their sales. Nowadays they would either ship directly from China with faster and more expensive shipping methods, or they would place the popular items in a US/Canada warehouse to shorten the shipping time. 

 

The shipping had me concerned. 

 

The reel was easy to track. It looks like it shipped from China to JFK by air and then went to the USPS for delivery. It was delivered by USPS. 

 

The rod went to a location in China and then the tracking data became convoluted. At one point I found a UPS tracking number while the item was still supposed to be in China and it showed the item out for delivery in the US the next day. Then UPS said it was a bad tracking number. Two days later the site indicated the item was out for delivery via UPS and it was. 

 

BTW I'm happy with both the rod and reel.

Hmmm! You may have something. Maybe the balloon is China's low tech answer to Amazon's drones. ☺️
