As a public service to anyone in the US, who wonders if there's a speed difference ordering from China or Hong Kong, I ordered one of these from each of them.

Its as they say "non-scientific", but somewhere between Wed. Apr. 13 and Tue. May. 17, we'll see which one had "luck" on its side.

Any predictions? My previous orders have been too close to hypothesize an outcome, seriously.

When you make such a comparison, did you compare with the same shipping carrier, i.e. DHL, FeDeX, etc.?

Nope. Nothing was taken into consideration other than they both had to take PayPal and one had to arrive sooner. This leaves a stupendous amount of variables unknown such as regional holidays, weather consideration, blown tire on the child laborer's bicycle, typhoon, sea monsters.

I had three orders arrive today, that being one of them. But another, I had high hopes and it's DOA. Three bad orders in about a week. :-(

-update- just so you know, after telling you the last order was bad - the seller refunded me without returning the bad part, so I carefully cracked it apart and find it's an intermittent, but it's also finicky about power supply on the 5V part of it. So I'll have to check solder connections in the sunlight ASAP and very carefully epoxy it shut. So I have confidence it's a part that usually works.
