Those of you that have ordered from GS audio, I'm curious how long your orders have taken to ship, then get to you?

Mt GD3C took 19 days to ship to New Zealand.
22 days to USA.

Sounds like I have a few weeks of waiting to do before I get my st8b haha
Update - They shipped out today. Estimated delivery is in 11 days! Pretty excited to get them.

They do look 'similar' but I'm 99.9% sure they are not the same! The shells do look similar but from what IV read the Q1 is very bass heavy which the GD3C isn't!EPZ Q1 looks suspiciously like GS Audio GD3C. That gold leaf and dark wood is pretty distinctive.
After cable and tip rolling the GD3C is really starting to grow on me. Not as bassy and relaxed as TRI Meteor and Tipsy TTROMSO. Not as detailed as Olina or TRI Starsea. It's beautifully clean and kind of fills in the middle ground. All get their share of listening depending on mood and what I'm listening to.
Variety is the spice of life!
BUT? As usual take this with a pinch of salt because I'm going by what i have read and NOT what i have heard!!!!

Yes I think you could be correct?
They are charging double the price to GS also! The GT12 ?& 12X are just over £200 and the L12 by Leisurely Audio is nearly £500 so if it is GS they have seriously up'ed the price! But in there defence they have up'ed the packaging compared to GS!
One interesting thing i noticed was one of the people who purchased the L2 said it is a phenomenal iem which can trade blows with the kilo buck iem's!
Super Review has the only graph of G3DA/C I've seen aside from GS' own: https://squig.link/?share=Super_Review_Target,GS_Audio_GD3A,GS_Audio_GD3C

Looks like it graphs close to his zex pro. I personally hated my zex pro. Kz is only good for 15 and under iems imo. They're all the same cheap stuff, though I will say their cheap stuff is good for how cheap they are. Loved the zex even though the driver configuration imo is probably a complete gimmick. It has issues but sounded great for the price. On another note, my st8b will be here in a couple days

DD is a different size too, but GS AUDIO started as an OEM manufacturer for other audio companies. One of the other thing to watch out for is the promotional materials. I have seen promo photos, graphs and product descriptions for other similar products that are copy/paste equivalents of GS Audio's own website.

To be fair, it could be a lot of these Chinese OEM/odm companies are using the same materials and tools. It would not surprise me, and could be why a lot of these iems look the same but could be very different inside. Could also be coming from the same factories. In that case I would wonder who's making these, is it GS audio, or someone else. Or maybe they make them themselves, but have the same suppliers. We don't know how far back in the chain these companies go or where they fit on it. But there are rebranded GS audio stuff that sells for more than what GS audio is charging so at least in those cases we can somewhat safely speculate that those brands are getting their stuff from GS audio.

Akros has graphs on his YouTube reviews of GS Audio IEMs too!
Forgot about that, but those are only visible in the video and can't be compared like they can on squig. Wish more graphers would do more GS stuff.

@tgx78 graphs a few GS Audio IEMs.
Super Review's thoughts on GD3C. His graph does show a much greater difference between A/C than GS' own.

Any consensus here on what is the most bass heavy iem from GS audio?
Or at least which one has authoritative plentiful bass?
