On my "self-built battery packs" journey last year I have ordered cylindrical LiFePO4 battery cells from Ali Express from a trusted vendor twice. In both cases they happily hopped over to Estonia in about 2-3 weeks.
I am expanding the battery pack with another bunch of new cells and have ordered even more cells from the same vendor, same listing, end of March. I was surprised that the shipping estimate said May but went ahead anyway.
So my cells shipped about four weeks ago, from Shenzhen, south China and...they have just crossed over from Xinjiang, northwest China to Kazakhstan on a jolly train journey.
I have... questions. :awkward_look_monkey:

Yupp, well, in the last couple days the package crossed Kazakhstan, Russia and is now in Belarus. Utterly fascinating.
