EMS tracking problems?

[Axcend]

I know it says to to wait up to 2 business days to track. But I'm on my third right now and my second on another order. Anyone else experiencing slower times for their tracking information to show up on EMS orders?

maybe this should be moved to shipping talk, sorry for misposting

hey,



most of the time when that happens its due to the delay of the seller and or shipping company. usually i can track all my packages within 24 hours.

There is a lot of volume in the system right now. ImBack2010 is also correct. The seller may have given you a tracking number, but that does not necessarily mean it has been shipped yet. Don't worry, you should see the tracking show up soon.

When it lands here, many ports have delays due to the volume of packages. Customs is DEFINITELY backed up.

EMS from China usually takes 8-10 days from when it is shipped. You could get lucky, but my guess is that it will take every bit of 10 days right now and possibly longer if Customs decides to inspect your package.

If you send the goods via ems directly,you can get the goods tracking on line at same day.If you send the goods via shipping agent,you may need to waiting for 1 or 2 days.

sucks. Last time I had something shipped via ems from china, it arrived 3 days later from when it was dropped off at the shipping center. Guess I'll kiss this amazon account goodbye lol. and it was going to be my slow one, build up the positive feedback lol

Ha Axc - don't base your Amazon stuff on other people's delivery of items....=(

yea, EMS is going to start getting backed up with the holidays coming up. Things will probably start taking longer than normal. I will probably stop ordering around Dec 13 until after Christmas.

well i was too broke to have any other choice at the time lol. I'm pretty sure i'm gonna sell a couple more things, break the limit and withdraw the money real fast, then let me account get suspended. i got 5 more in the backburner that will mature faster than i'll get out of this 28 day cycle lol.

so shipping information still hasn't shown up. One of the tracking numbers was posted last saturday and the other one on monday. weird.... i did pay escrow though and from very highly rated sellers.

Listing items for sale before you have them is never a good idea, especially when the goods are coming from another country. Too many things can cause delays.

And I have also had very fast shipping times with EMS. One package made it in 4 days to me. Others have taken 2 weeks. It just happens. You really cannot depend on the stated shipping times.

yeah, I realize this now. I'm not planning on doing it again, it was just what was necessary at the time :/
