I'm going to wait until after the Chinese holiday now to order again.

My other one from 20th picked up now and on the way.

Looks like things are moving back to normal... WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Do they work over the hoildays? (customs/dhl/ems)

One of my parcel which was sent on 15th September is finally picked up by dhl after more than 2 weeks.

Last working day in China and HK tomorrow.
I guess this will be one of the most critical days during this year.
After tomorrow the silence week begins.
I keep my fingers crossed for everyone during tomorrow.

Can only take it day by day - always hoping never for seizure

Tomorrow, 1st October, will start Holiday...so when DHL/EMS will return at work?

I can't believe they just go into stand still when they have their holidays. It seems nothing moves. It's bad enough having a bank holiday in the UK, let alone a whole week every few months which it seems to be.

I hope everyone gets their packages soon. I'm waiting for mine via EMS, which sadly takes a long time to get here too.

yes, like you said, I agree.
But you must know, the common workers (the ones support all in every country), they work all month and have some 1, some 2 days free in this period.
Yes, seem they have a lot of holiday, because they rest while all the world is working. But if sum the days they work per year, sure is more than normal.
National day: Official places like schools, take 7 days (buy they was teaching las saturday and sunday for exchange the days).
Markets have 2 days free.
DHL take 5. And I understand it affect all the world, even more after the problem they have in Custom.
People around the world, feel chinese are on holiday, when they need chineses working. But when they dont need (weekend), can not feel the chinese people are working.
Totally understandable your feeling, specially in this days.
My thinking is DHL MUST work from 3rd, because so many parcel delayed.... but....they take 5 days. DHL dont care of this problem. They know how strong they are....feel sorry.

Notice:
If your parcel have several cartons, better enter to DHL on "www dot cn dot dhl dot com" and track there (replace dot for the sign.)
In the chinese website of DHL, will show if all the cartons of your parcel are moving, or just a part of them.
dhl.com dont show details of cartons.
I your parcel is just 1 carton, will see the same information in both.

I think workers in China works many hours per day, also I think you wouldn't say that if you will get Chineese worker salary.

Got 1 from 16th, guess there will be another few days then :(

I have a trusted supplier who is now going to EMS, instead of DHL.

There is an almighty long backlog now. It is effecting people and business worldwide.

I am sorry, but this is just unacceptable.

We use trusted sources also but last ems we used got stuck in hk for 2months so we always use dhl after that, after this i think fedex or ups will be our main goal to use.

Good news for me now.
My 1st parcel was sent sent out 14th September and was picked up by DHL in HK yesterday. Now it's stuck in Germany. It will probably be delivered to me tomorrow.

Someone said that DHL will not work now, but guess what...
My 2nd parcel was sent out 19th September and it was picked up and fully processed by DHL in HK today
It will probably also be delivered to me tomorrow.

My 3rd parcel was sent out 25 September via EUEXP. This will be delivered to me today or tomorrow.

3 of MY packages are still sitting in HK Since Tuesday, September 23, 2014
Small packages arrive without a problem, big boxes are not moving:-(

[DwayneJohnson]

This is what I found on other websites:
"Customs is checking 90%+ of vehicles....entering the DHL facility. Affected buyers will see only the tracking event Shipment Information Received and may think they are being scammed by their suppliers. They are not. It's a legit issue for suppliers and there isn't anything they can do."

The problem will be further exacerbated because of the National Golden Week holiday. "Oct 1-7 is a 7 day national holiday in China....So, once this clears up....boom....7 more days of supply shortage...

Anyone having issues with ems

9 days now

I have a 28kg box sitting in HK awaiting shipment by DHL to AU since the 23rd September.

Given eBay sales are slow here right now, I'm not as concerned as I normally would be.
