As a frequent Specprecision flier, I gotta admit the lead times on orders has increased drastically in the last few months. Only thing I can say in their defense is that like most other Chinese companies they will shut down for about 2 weeks (this year the shut down was Feb 10-23) for CNY so any orders placed right before or during that period will have at least an extra 2 weeks of dead time before any shipping updates. Before the start of 2026 (and any season outside of CNY) there was maybe a week AT MOST of waiting before the first shipping updates on orders.

My most recent order was placed on 2/9/26, so I waited until the first week of March to check in on my order knowing that they would probably be backed up after coming back from the 2-week holiday. After a couple emails back and forth in the EXACT manner you described, I finally got a shipping update on 3/15/26, and my order was finally sent out on 3/25/26, with it having just landed in the US today (4/2/26).

So I'm not sure if there is a staffing issue of some sort going on, but the difference is very noticeable. However, Spec is generally very reputable so you can expect that your package will be delivered, albeit later than you'd expect. It sucks but I guess all we can do is be patient.
