China EMS Woes
<< < (6/6)
Quarlo Klobrigney:
It's 2 months now and still has not left China. I bought it from the official FeelTech store.
floobydust:
Container shipping is way down- high number of cancelled sailings and slower ship speeds, because cargo volume is down due to Covid-19. Pricing must be lower though?
The cultural rules are "say nothing" and if you must say something, lie. Never say a peep about anything that would make you or your country lose face to foreigners.
I've never had reasonable communication, something related to the question, an admission of anything - even when in the native language  :(  this is part of the low price- high hassle.

So I would not get too angry or blame the store. The packet gets tossed over the fence to the shipping company and then it disappears into the abyss. Getting mad about it, doesn't help. The entire shipping industry is upside down right now. Tracking may say it hasn't left but it actually has.

One must substitute the word Missile with Package.

My forwarder AIRMAIL promised  speed from China was 10 days, pre Covid19, they normally arrive few days early.   Now is 1 month, or later.
Those cheap ebay EMS, pre-Covid, is about as bad or worse than the current forwarder, so they must be much worse now.   There are no plane flying now.   And everyone is rushing for of cargo space when one arises.  I cannot imagine EMS fighting hard, or willing to pay more, when there is a plane become available..  Sea shipping is arriving within promised schedule though.
OwO:
TNT from China to Europe is still fast (under a week). Cost is under $20 with a shipping agent.
