If they made it in the Peoples Republic of California we would be paying 2k a phone. There's where the Chinese come in.

It should take 3 maybe 4 days. Fed-Ex clears customs in Anchorage. If it's there now it should be in Florida tomorrow. It may be delivered tomorrow but it may not be until Monday.

Enjoy!
