  • Shipment information sent to FedEx FedEx®

It made pretty good time—it usually takes a week or more for anything from China to get to me here in Canada regardless of shipment method. That’s why I order my filament from someone more local.

thats my point…

If only it were that simple…

(to source locally)

So why can’t you just order some filament from a local supplier?
I’m assuming you’re buying SM branded filament and that’s why it’s coming from China.
Not sure why. Nothing special about SM filament. It’s been shown to be mediocre at best.
Check out Prusament, among many others. (Other UK people can chime in with suggestions, or do a search)
