Unusually long EMS hold?
 

Hi all,

So I've been ordering crap from China for awhile now and I've never really come across this with EMS:

2016-11-19 01:50:16 HeNanShengZhengZhouShi Arrival at Sorting Center
2016-11-19 12:10:03 HeNanShengZhengZhouShi ZHENGZHOU Despatch from Sorting Center


It's almost December 9th right now, so according to this tracking, the package has been dispatched from sorting center almost 3 weeks ago and has not been seen since.

Has anyone run across this? What should I expect at this time? This supplier has never screwed me before but I do have to ask, does this definitely mean that they shipped the item?

That's why you pay the extra money for DHL, lesson learned yet?

U need to contact your supplier have them contact ems on their end and see what is going on .

Did that. Was told that EMS asked to wait a few days. Sounds very much like they didn't contact them to me.

It's the Holidays.....expect delays.

Yes delays this time of year. Ordered a bunch of goods end of Oct via EMS. All just hit customs this week & deliveries today starting. A little bit longer than past years, next year a few weeks earlier ordering for piece of mind.

All can depend on what kind of "crap" OP is ordering...
