EMS is really slow!!!!
 

Sometimes EMS is so fast , it only takes 3 or 4 days from China to Canada

But recently, EMS is really slow... it may take 10 to 14 days for express...

OMG....

Ems is slow due to the surge of Christmas shipments. I had a package ship from hongkong and it took more than 7 days. I usually get all my packages from hongkong in less than 4 days. Hongkong ems is faster than china's ems for some reason.

its the holidays man, its like this every year. Add an extra 2-3 days to your normal delivery time from Dec 15 - Jan 15.

Ems slow
 

For me all of my shippments from GUANGZHOU have taken the most time. All orders shipped from that city take 4-8 times longer than other items sent from other cities in china (well that is for me).

For me this delay started this past OCT. I ordered something on the last day of this past NOV, and it got to usa customs TODAY.

Anyone else seeing EMS delays? I have a package that seems to be stuck somewhere. It was shipped on 12/15 and the status hasn't changed since 12/16. The seller is saying its b/c of snow storms here in the US.

Same here. I have an EMS package showing it's been stuck in New York since 12/31. :noidea:

I placed a order on the 30th and received it yesterday.It was kinda weird because the tracking info said it was still in SF customs yet i received the order.

Yeah caz Hong Kong is a hub in Asia- it's got world class infrastructure and people work efficiently- much more efficient than Aussies I reckon. Trust me as having been living in Hong Kong since 2000.:peace:

You must live in California or somewhere wheres there's no snow, lol. Either that or your just lucky. :clap:

if you use EMS,you have to more patient,their speed and service is not so nice,but it is very safe to use it to pass custom.We are sending over 100 packages of dvds to usa,au,canada,uk,japan,sometimes it got only 3 days to arrived,sometimes it got 15 days long,it is normally.

Yes,we also have a lot of packages delay,as the snow storms,but they are safe,so do not worry about this,as ems is very slowly sometimes.More patient

from being really slow, has quickened up now.....!!!

what is the safest?
ems
ups
dhl
fedex

Thanks

EMS coming into canada i have had alot of my dhl shipments taken by customs asking for receipts import # etc

Many suppliers have said EMS is the safest. But I know UPS is definitely the fastest. One of my suppliers just started offering me UPS on my orders and the last order came in 3 days!!

I can't tell you how much I LOVE UPS. UPS, is waaaaay faster than DHL. Last time I had a package come in less than 4 days. Dhl usually comes in 5-6 days. But, one thing I love the most about UPS is that they do not charge brokerage fees from express shipments. I only have to pay 14% taxes, but my supplier always undervalues the item for me. Dhl on the other hand charge me $15 brokerage fees...they nickle and dime you for every single penny they can get from you.

if you are local in middle of USA,it will be very dangerous,if you want to import the copy products from oversea,as the chicago custom check very stickly,special for the brand and copy products.Please attention

My last UPS package came into the USA through Alaska, lol.

All UPS packages come from Alaska. That is there major port.

anyone have any advice for me?? i ordered a package from china via ems and it has been in freaking us customs for 2 weeks now!!!!!

i dont know what to do!!!

what products are in the package?You need to put 2 invoice with stamp and signture on the package,and then it is easy to pass usa custom.

they are DVD's
