Help with EMS International Express Tracking

[meVebay]

lol so you buy a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ rolex from ioffer, the seller ships (Albeit late), takes ages for you to receive, and you leave a negative feedback before the transaction has been completed (IE You receive the item or receive a refund due to INR)

If you were in that much of a hurry why not pay £20-£30 more and buy from local car boot sale/market.

You have to have more patience when dealing with China. Postal Delays happen all the time. Incoming packets sometimes sit for 5-6 days in Heathrow before they are even sorted at Royal Mail's end.

If you really wanted to order from China and wanted it quick, UPS offer a pretty fast service.

yep well still it says the same hasnt even reached UK yet

[oompaloompa]

heard that for vero dhl is risky??

[moneyhustler88]

I've used DHL before with no problems so god knows..but it wasnt DHL anyway he shipped with EMS

By my experience EMS will usually not upload tracking until after on business day, now I don't know for what reason.

I'll say be patient and the tracking will sure up soon. The fastest shipping time from international orders I placed was 3 days and that was via UPS.

So hold one for a while and see if anything shows up.

I thought EMS is cheaper for small packages compared to dhl - dhl is good for large packages +/- the duty but more risk with dhl if your products arent good.

yeah just waiting now thats the game..so yeah

Hi,Guys,let me tell you the truth.

If you send the goods by EMS and you hand over the goods to EMS directly,and then the tracking will be available at the same day. If you hand over the goods to EMS agents,and then you need to wait for a few days for the tracking available(because EMS agent will take time to send the goods together to EMS )

Maybe you will keep ask me why many chinese suppliers did not give the goods to EMS directly? Because the price will be cheaper if they send the goods thr shipping agent,because shipping agent signed the contract with EMS to get low discount.

Also some time the tracking will update to another new tracking,this happen sometimes but not often.

All I can say is, welcome to hell. And that I hope that you came prepared. This is the single longest stage of the EMS shipping process... those boys down at Coventry sure do know how to take their sweet time working out how they can retrieve their soggy, dropped-in biscuits (thanks to a failed dunk attempt) from their tea on the ultra-extended tea-break.

That's odd. Never happened to me. Nor have i had a package come thru stoke. I'm guessing you've received it now anyway right?
