DHL package delay in Hong Kong

[Fanatics]

Just a heads up.

Hong Kong custom's found 2000 kg of counterfeit US currency, therefore they are checking all packages one by one.

The following is a chinese translation so therefore the grammar.


"Shenzhen Huanggang jewelry a while ago identified more than 300 people involved in smuggling case-rot, multiple level cadres under investigation, express customs declaration only at Man Kam to customs clearance a clearance, late yesterday the Man Kam to Customs officers seized 2 tons of counterfeit currency, escalation at Man Kam to has now closed. Stop all operations from today's Customs Agency, the recent express declaration limitation of exports of goods will be blocked from Hong Kong, all channels will have different degrees of departure delays in case customs inspection in the day, is expected in Hong Kong detained inspection times will take one week or longer period of time"

Is there a new source for this? Had a look but cannot find anything

[Fanatics]

Chance's are you won't find anything. The Chinese will probably keep these under the wraps. But if your DHL package is stuck on "Shipment information received" for few days than this is why.

[Gamefreak]

its apple hogging all the planes for iPhone shipments. they have contract for probably 99% of the planes coming from china when iPhones are released.

I hope this delay won't last long. Hong Kong is a very important market.

I new something was up, I thought it might have something to do with the iphone 6 coming out, maybe trying to prevent ⊗⊗⊗⊗. Does anyone know what really is happening.

[Fanatics]

The latest update I have here is the hk customs is closed pending investigation at the moment. And no apple is not the reason why everything is stuck. The carriers will run separate planes for apple.

[sergfro]

my Chinese supplier confirmed.

Update : Custom's is back open and packages moving again. If your package is stuck than they need to inspect it as it was sent same time as ⊗⊗⊗⊗ currency.

[Techd]

I have actually received 3 of my orders yesterday, but I think they were sent out before this inspection thing. I still have 5 orders with shipment information received and the earliest is from september 10th, the others september 15th.

But how many days it normally takes for unlock this orders with "shipment information received"?

[aleen]

My 3 parcels are stuck and it still says "shipment information received". It's been almost 6 days now. :(

[mauro]

I have 2 parcels "Shipment information received since Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 00:38" still not moving as of today.

This does not mean that the item has actually been posted.

It just means that DHL has been used to create a postal label.

No, it is not. DHL received the parcel, but there are problems with customs.

If TECHD can give us updates through its Chinese supplier about the situation today. He said that "custom's is back open and packages moving again", but unfortunately the situation has not yet changed.

[Techd]

Mine are still shipment information received, I hope they are not backed up to long. All my inventory except one item is decent for about another week. My suppliers just keep saying they are backed up because of whatever happened.

[aleen]

My one item is totally out of stock. Hope everything will be back to normal after weekend. :(
