Timberbits routes overseas orders via Singapore and with this being his busiest time of year you're looking at around 2 weeks maybe longer.
A recent order I placed took close to 3 weeks.
He's a good supplier though and his prices are pretty keen.

I also am a customer of Timberbits and have no complaints (as long as you are not in a hurry)
