If the products are either in stock and or say "ships next day" I would think it should ship
Best bet would be, in my opinion wait for the new year promo code for 20% off which goes live on the 24th and wait a little longer

not 100% sure, you never can be with FT shipping time

Thanks. Yeah I'm in no rush, can't find anywhere in uk that has what I want in stock, so thought I'd try China. Thanks for the heads up on the code

no worries mate, the code is "REDPACKET" I think, theres a thread in the bargain basement section with the code, and when it goes live either the 24th or 25th

Mine shipped on the 18th but when I click the tracking link it comes up "page 404 not found"? Any ideas

I'd give it a couple days, should then be able to track it, can try your number on http://www.17track.net/en/
but I wouldn't bank on being able to track the package, as they tracking site stuff goes on the same type of holidays
