Not sure about shipping from the UK, received order has shipped on the 18th and as of today its still shows it being ready to head to the US, I have bought alot of stuff from around the world and when i get notice its shipped its here at my house in no more than 5 days, but everytime I order from UK from business or from personal person it takes double the time. So all the people on ebay have Pike Gold for sale before mine has even crossed the US line, so pre order works great ha.
