Hi, I have some experience with this post. Shipping was very long. I even got refund from ebay. Sipping was China to Ireland.
Tracking nr to prove it: RU466174135CH
You can check it here: http://www.swisspost.ch/
So Christmas will be without cores… and if story repeats… I’ll see them in February… if I see them, cause I moved house recently…
@Xloras That can not have been fun, but we’re really hopeful that because these packages are small they will be going quickly. Hope you’ll give it a bit of time. If mentally willing the mail to go faster works then they should arrive in no time b/c that’s pretty much all I’m thinking about 
No, Swiss post is slow as hell for everything. Package size does not really matters. At least for Belarus/Russia/Ukraine it wont be less than 30 dyas in non-holidays period. In New-Year it will be at least 45 days. I have one package shipped with Swiss about 30 days ago and it is not even imported to our country
Sorry @Xloras @ryotsuke, these issues aren’t really in our control; at this point almost everything has already shipped, so all we can do is hope for a relatively quick delivery.
Surprise, surprise 
And some blinking :
I’m really didn’t aspect have it so fast.
Tnx all Spark team for putting on my face.
Mine was mailed December 21 and it departed Singapore ~30 minutes later. After that there have been no tracking events. It kind of sucks, because any other shipping companies I have used have informed me what happens in between of origin and destination countries. I’m quite sure they won’t fly straight from Singapore to here.
But thanks to you @Xloras , I now know that I could receive my package (or letter from customs) next week. I see your took ~22days and mine has travelled day or few less than that.
Normally 3 weeks isn’t that bad from Asia to Europe, but in holiday season time have been twice as slow as usual. 
My package did indeed arrive today.
But what makes this very interesting is that tracking code that was send to me via email is still updated 21. december in Singapore. Today I got an arrival notice letter that had very different, but still Swiss Post's tracking code. This new code only shows few events this week.

Customs didn't check package, maybe because label said it "content: PCB, worth: 13$". But the content was 100% what I expected.
I finally got my cores today! I was not impressed by the time swisspost took to a) Ship to Geneva then b) ship to Canada. Seem bass ackwards that they would not ship directly. It took over a month to receive. Anyway, I was impressed by the packaging, the presentation and the fact that all but one of my five cores connected quickly - the fifth has a u.fl antenna connector and I don’t have an antenna yet. When I power up a core, it connects to wifi within 3 seconds! Now comes the real work.
Mine’s in transit since Dec.21 - from the tracking info, it’s been idling at a nearby airport for the last 3 weeks - maybe waiting for customs to check it out. Maybe they are having some breadboard fun with the core?
Finally! It arrived yesterday. 1 month before customs would pick it up. 2 months to clear customs. I had to demonstrate beyond doubt what it costed. Paid 20 eur in taxes.
I complained to customs about the delay - it’s a small package with origin country Switzerland (it’s routed through there apparently): “could have been a watch”!
