If you bought from Terry Wong they'll be shipped from China. Got mine from him a few years ago but can't recall how long they took. Hope you get them in time.
 
Got the caliper off & rebuilt this evening. Piston took some force to get out but no obvious signs as to why.

Cleaned up, rebuilt with new seals, piston, refitted & bled....just need to take it for a spin to see if it's cured.
What happens with bike callipers is that crap build up behind the dust seal and oil seal forcing them out which causes binding
when I checked out my Elgrand and calliper after fitting a new one I found plenty of corrosion in the grooves for the seals
 
Just a quick rinse to get the dust off b4 work starts .
