I ordered three red faceplates for my Curve 8320 over a week ago from Cellular Accessories - Motorola, Accessories Store, HTC, Sony, SonyEricsson, Alcatel, Apple, Nokia, Pan and they're just now shipping it out and that will take another 7-10 days. I don't know if I'll order from them again just to save some money. I don't like waiting that long! :(
you have to remember that cnn.cn is in CHINA lol... and they're times are way different from ours. i ordered the red housing for my 8310 and it took almost 2 weeks.
I ordered a few parts from China and it took from March 17th till April 1st! Granted they were exactly what I needed and in perfection condition with excellent packaging China needs to stop nazing their mail!
you gotta admit the money is worth it :)
Can't have your cake and eat it too!
Lol. You want them to rush perfection? Lol. It's cool man. I rather than take their time to deliver a product I don' have to return.
Haha That is comical!!!
A product from CHINA being PERFECT? What an oxymoron
Well, here is what I got back today via email on why it was taking so long. By my calculations it will take 20 days and that is too long even if it came from the moon! At least they replied to my email. :)
Hello Jack,
It was sent to the post office on the 8th and they�re processing to have it sent out of the country as we speak.
There were a few factors that contributed to the delay.
1. The long weekend from the 4th � 6th of April
2. A screw mount issue with the Curve faceplates that needed to be resolved by RIM
3. The backlog of orders from the Easter weekend which has still not been cleared
Normally processing time for an order is no more than 2 business days, but ever since the Chinese New Year we�ve basically been trying to play catch up with a shorthanded staff. Let me know if there�s anything I can do in regards to your order for the delay and I�ll see what I can do.

I hear ya, I ordered an $11 trackball for my pearl because I thought it would be the older smoother version, not the lousy one that came with my 8130, and after a week they finally shipped and it took another week.
And when it came? It's the same lousy new trackball! Completely not worth the cost and time to wait.
It's coming internationally. When I worked at UPS even express 2day going to European or Asian countries took at least 3 days. Remember time is over 8 hr different and may even have date line crossed. Be patient
Thanks for clearing the wait issue up for me as well. I ordered the side pieces for my Curve 2 weeks ago and I haven't received them. I was thinking I may have been ripped off. I got my faceplate off ebay and it took 3 days but that was domestic.

BEWARE of order from cnn.cn order from Hong Kong!!!
I ordered $60 worth of accessories from them Feb 10 and have not received my order as of today Mar 8. They failed to answer my emails, calls to Hong Kong, and claim the order got lost in the mail and will not refund my money.
If that is not the most BOGUS BS I've ever heard, I don't know what is. Here are the emails that transpired between Steve Chan and myself. For all I know, they pocketed my money and sent out an empty package for tracking number purposes.
I've never dealt with such poor customer service and irresponsibility by blaming the CUSTOMER for alleged USPS misplaced items.

Steve,
Since my last email on March 3rd, I have not heard back from you. *I *
don't know how you guys are running your business but timely response *
is NOT 4 days. *Are you going to refund my money ASAP or shall I go *
out of my way to post on every board I know the horrendous customer *
service, get amex to refund my money, and contact the better business *
bureau. *At the end of the day, it will make an impact on your *
business as much of it seems to be from recommendations on the forums.
I expect to response within 4 hours as it is already business hours in *
HK.

Steve,
I appreciate the response back however it's unacceptable to not have *
anyone answer emails(last one sent Feb27), live chats, OR phones. *I *
called the number during business hours and it was a recording. *I *
call international and get a recording?!?!? *I'm not sure how the *
business is being run, but being 'busy' is not a legitimate reason *
for poor customer service.
I no longer want to wait for a full investigation to be completed as *
the items could have been stolen or just plain loss in transit. *You *
have the option of Fedexing my order next day at your cost OR *
refunding my money completely. *If you decide not to do so, I'll *
just have AMEX refund me my money and it will become a black mark on *
you as a vendor.
I've been patient and waiting for an order for 21 days is *
ridiculous. *I expect a timely response.
Regards,

Hello Henry
Your package is held up in the States somewhere. *One of our *customers got
an answer from USPS (many other packages are stuck too), and it *seems the packages are stuck in US customs limbo somewhere. *Don't know what *

As far as emails, we only received this one from you. *We are a *little busy

I have not received my items from my order on Feb 10. I have sent *
emails and have not heard back.
I have also waited for over an hour to talk to someone online with no
answer.
Order Number: 101315
Where is my order!
Henry
To be honest it seems like they are telling you everything up front before on their site before you ordered. What's the big deal with you contacting usps or your dredit card company? To be honest if you contacted me that way I would have given you the big ol' **** off too. Personally I believe they are people and the way you spoke to them in those emails was was rude and condescending.
As for the OP everything they have said seems pretty valid to me. Perhaps time is the key. Like everyone else has said you can't rush perfection haha.

I just noticed that this was an extremely old thread brought back to life by someone making the same posts all over CB.
