What happens when EMS gets to the US?

[unkown5454]

DHL can burn in hell. EMS is slower, but a solid courier. You'll figure it out.

Just checked today (6/28) and heres all it is so far:


　

Timing Site Status
　 2011-06-21 20:55:00 City of Guangzhou Posting
　 21:18:00 City of Guangzhou Despatch from Sorting Center
　 22:31:00 GUANGZHOU Arrival at Sorting Center
　 2011-06-22 00:48:00 GUANGZHOU Despatch from Sorting Center


6 daysssss lol


Edit: Ok so this is weird, I had another order from the same person who shipped it out 2-3 days AFTER the order that is supposedly still sitting in China, and yet here is the tracking info for it:

Detailed Results:

Inbound Into Customs
Processed Through Sort Facility, June 28, 2011, 5:44 am, ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS)
Processed Through Sort Facility, June 24, 2011, 11:35 pm, GUANGZHOU, CHINA PEOPLES REP
Origin Post is Preparing Shipment
Acceptance, June 24, 2011, 8:46 pm, CHINA PEOPLES REP

Sooooooooo....apparently the item that was shipped 3 days after the first one is in the USA before the first item. On top of that, the first item is still sitting in China =/

[jbluntz]

Yeah that happens on occassion, they could have forgot to update tracking, most of mine are delivered in less than a week from the time I paid. Was it a large package?

[Giardino]

USPS forgot to update? AND I PAY THEM WITH MY TAX MONEY!!?!?!? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!

jkjk

Ehhhh not particularly large I dont think, its a box of 10 DVD's

[QUOTE=smellybelly;243909]why do chinese companies continue to use EMS if it is so much hassle...? what is wrong with solid, trustworthy carriers like DHL/FEDEX/UPS/TNT ?[/QUOTE

I get packages all the time via ems.....i think its better than DHL which i heard horror stories. Don't worry had a package that was still in JFK, NY and it showed up at my house the same day. After signing for package it still showed in NY it takes a while for there system to update....

Usually EMS get to the US in 3 days. Not counting the weekends. You will see "inbound international arrival" on the usps website.
As EMS mean express if the item gets to the US before 4-5 am,the package needs to be delivered by 3 PM.
EMS is more reliable then DHL,post office people (if they know you) are nice and might leave the package by the neighbors. DHL sit and wait all day who knows where they are.

This. And DHL is all independently contracted f*cktards, which is why most never give sh.t about you or your packages.

just fyi....just received package today via EMS(USPS) check there website still shows in JFK, NY. I leave in FL. Have to be patient, there site not updated all the time

[newjerseymax]

DHL is faster but way more risk. EMS is also the cheaper alternative for seller on smaller packages. Vice versa with large packages. A few sellers have good contact with someone inside shipping company and can actually let you know which day is best to ship.

Yeah, just contacted the seller about the package that has been listed as sitting in China since I ordered it over a week ago. She said that is very unusual and she will be contacting the Post Office today and will get back to me.

[Giardino]

Update- Approaching the 2 week mark and still no packages. One is still listing "Inbound to Customs" and one is still listed as the last thing to update as being processed at the sorting center in china almost 2 weeks ago.

Woo -_-

[Gamefreak]

EMS is known to take 2-4 weeks. Even more on holidays. My suppliers all said the same thing to me yesterday

Careful what you order from china now as customs is cracking down.

They are even sending shipments with logos an other marking on it separate in smaller packages in case they get seize it wont be a big lost.

I say give it a couple more days. If nothing then consider that package seized and watch out for a letter or something from customs.

[Giardino]

Yeah im hoping it will get here today, gonna go check my ups box soon


Edit: NICEEEEEE

Not really.

Can take longer.

Patience helps/

What are the items?

[Gman91189]

The longer the worst but have had it 5 days stuck still cleared. Patience is key tho...depends on the items that are being imported

[newjerseymax]

From what I have seen... Unless its near a holiday.... Anything longer that 5 days had not made it passed customs. My last such disaster. The Jerseys for my Fantasy Football League...

DHL is the way to go when you are buying from China. I get my items from my suppliers in china in 3-5 Days!
