    Pakistani Kilt shipping question

    Now. Before we get into my question, I want to explain why I purchased my kilt from Pakistan. I was doing a ton of research prior to making this purchase. My Kilt needs to be cotton because I live in a desert, a 100°f+ in the summer right outside of Death Valley desert to be precise. It needed a rivet or stud in the back-seam. It needed d-rings and pockets. It needed to be black. It needed to be cheap. I can't drop $260 on a utilikilt or a proper wool kilt from Scotland or Ireland. So I found one that seems to have it all.

    Now. I've never purchased anything from Pakistan much less a kilt. So I have two questions. One, does anyone have any experience with kilts from Pakpistan and how long does a shipment usually take to arrive?

    Welcome aboard, and you'll get a lot of different answers from those who have ordered there. (I have not.) My guess is that it will depend on the particular company. Would you care to share the vendor's name?

    Well. I did some more research, this guy has a very poor rating on ecrater. I'm kind of hoping against hope here I think.

    I haven't ordered a kilt from Pakistan, but I did buy a jacket and waistcoat from there on eBay. The seller I dealt with took a week (or 2, I can't remember for sure) to actually ship the product, but once it was shipped DHL, I had it 2 days later. I was blown away by that 2 days shipping time for a $39.99 charge.

    Interestingly, DHL is an arm of the German postal service.
