I was sent a parcel from China/Hong Kong about 3 weeks ago by EMS and it took a week to arrive in the UK, then 4 or 5 days to clear customs. There were no charges though, even though it was valued at $150. But that is far too slow for me, so I went with UPS for my last delivery.
I can just say that I am using DHL next time. UPS used to be okay but then I was expecting a delivery on Monday, and when it did not arrive I phoned them. Then they tell me that the delivery driver is allowed to "miss" a parcel for up to 3 days after the scheduled delivery date, since any parcels with higher "priority" will be delivered first, and that if I wanted it sooner I would have to go to their office and pick it up myself. What a load of horse sh*t. They have lost me as a customer.
