Anxiously awaiting my first Comexim order
I ordered the Belen 3HC in 80HH and the Elena plunge in 80J in late April. The parcel left Poland on May 15 and now is in no man’s land. I’m waiting until I can start tracking it through Canada Post. How long does it usually take to get to North America once it leaves Poland? I really want to see how these bras fit, so I can start looking at other options and sorting out what will work for me.
I bought the Comexim Jade plunge in 80HH and while it doesn’t not fit, I thought going up a cup size may give me a better fit. I’m finding that the fabric on the right side (my larger breast) near the gore is collapsing a bit and I’m not sure if it’s a size or style issue. I’m FOB, centre full and have short roots (I think that’s the right terminology) so I stuck with the 80HH in the Belen because I was afraid I may not fill the upper part if I went up a cup size. Since ordering though, I’ve read a bit more about Comexim sizing and have read that when ordering halfcup bras, you need to go up a cup size from the plunge style, but it seems like it may depend on the person’s shape. I just want these bras to arrive so that if I need to exchange them I can get this show on the road and have bras that fit before summer is over.
Don’t even get me started on how confused I am about Ewa bras. I have no idea where to start (size and best style for shape0 and think I will tackle that once I’ve sorted out what works in Comexim bras. I may pay the difference and order through bra obsessed so they can help me with making the right choice.
Anyway, will update once the bras arrive. I’m hoping they are keepers as I need more comfortable bras.

Did you get it shipped regular post or DHL?
Regular post to the US is typically 10-14 days from shipping to delivery, but has been known to be up to 6 weeks due to customs delays. DHL is faster, I swear I read 4 days for express, but I have never used them.
When you factor in the cost of return shipping to Poland, etc, I would say it ultimately would be cheaper (& faster) to buy from Jaime at Bra Obsessed. At least until you know your solid size for each style, both Comexim and Ewa Michalak.
With Comexim, when you pinpoint your size, you can start experimenting with customizations (lowering to gore, reducing the cup height, moving straps in etc) but customized bras are not returnable and Comexim is not very reliable when it comes to honoring customization requests as ordered.
Ewa sizing may be trickier to figure out (My size is different for darn near every style Haha ) but once you do figure it out, the bras are spectacular!!! I much prefer Ewa over Comexim for quality, comfort, and fit. I wear a 60K for Ewa CHP & most full lace BMs, generally a 60KK for most of her styles (PL, SF, SM, half lace BMs, and some full lace BMs), and 60L for her S style. But others can wear the same across the board, so it really varies by person.
I got mine recently. Took a week after it said it departed.
