In my experience, China Post takes anywhere from 2-4 WEEKS to show up. EMS takes 8-10 days and DHL takes 4 days.
But DHL is only economical if the package weighs more than 21KG (about 40 lbs).
Any one of these methods can experience delays, especially if your package is chosen for customs inspection.
The bottom line is, your package is coming from the other side of the world, not the other side of town. If you want to use EMS instead, just ask your supplier. Most times, they will ship that way if you want. It may cost extra, but it can be done. For small packages, though, DHL is prohibitively expensive so that really is not an option.
