China Airmail (i need a straight up answer)

[rocksonscotch]

I ordered from Eastmall on 11/2, didn't make it to JFK airport until the 13th, listed as still in Customs. Very frustrating..

Nice!.. my HG order arrive!.. no DOA also...for those interested it took approx. 23 days...not bad for were I'm at.

Thanks Wayne!

23 days? I would say that's poor delivery! Even sea freight wouldn't take that long lol.

Airmail can take up to months. I always use EMS. There is always an option for it and it is well worth the extra cost.

I get my 14500 batteries from DealExtreme and it usually takes 2-4 weeks coming from Hong Kong.

just to get my 2 cents in. I order from China and Hong Kong all the time via ebay, and I get some really cool stuff for dirt cheap in exactly 2 weeks. E-cig sites like Healthcabin charge more for shipping than my ebay electronics vendors but I think it's a safe assumption that you'll get your stuff, reliably; in 2 weeks to 20 days max to anywhere in the USA.

I don't know much about shipping processes, but i'm curious since you said you used EMS which landed in NY. My question is, would Airmail be using the same type of USPS ground delivery from NY to my destination? Or would it be different, if it's the same that's great news to me. Is the only difference from EMS & Airmail the overseas process?

Also if you dont mind me asking which state do you live in?

Thank in advance.

EMS in China is like our UPS.

I'm in Puerto Rico guys, so 23 days is understandable I think!... and no EMS for me here, not even an option on check out!, even though I did order from another vendor in China and he said he could send it through EMS for PR, but the shipping was like $30 or lower, so No thanks!... I need to make a profit somehow, so if EMS is suddenly available for Puerto Rico I just can't afford the shipping cost for now at least, not until I make some $$monies$$ first!..lol
