Yay, my order got in yesterday during the holiday and zipped right through customs. My 1st direct China order, I couldn't be happier :D

and it went to Chicago, so I should have my new PV and juice soon!

That is awesome to know because I am waiting, patiently, to get my order from David. It left China on Sunday and I hope it will zip thru customs as yours did. :)

Just out of curiosity, when did you place your order?

Please let us know when it makes it to your door.

I placed my order last week Tuesday. It shipped on Thursday I believe. Arrived at customs in LA sometime this morning and left later in the day. This is also my first China order and I'm greatly relived to know it got though customs with no problem. I am expecting my package either tomorrow or the day after at latest. I will let you all know when I get it though.

My first order from China too.

I placed my order at Eastmall on the 19th and got my stuff today. From the tracking it does not even look like my stuff went through customs at all unless ISC is customs in which case it only spent a few hours there.

this is my EMS tracking info...

I remember when my first order from David cleared customs... I felt like I had gotten away with something hahaha!

Take that you FDA people...snuck one right past your nose... uh... they don't like... uh... monitor this forum do they... I swear it wasn't me... it was my alternate personality... I like the FDA :lol:

That is what my last order from China said too. There was nothing about customs.

I just received my order yesterday, great service. I see your in the Chicago area shimmy, thats funny cause when I went to pick up my package at the post office the clerk asked me what it was cause they had just handed out the same package from chia the day before to someone else might have been yourself in your in the northern burbs. I said it was a usb charger or something like that that was on sale lol. Anyhow that was my 1st order w/ this company and certainly won't be my last..Great job eastmall!!!

Correction, USPS just delivered it to me. Ordered on the 20th, arrives on the 28th...

Good service.

Where in Texas are you? Mine was dispatched the 22nd but since the tracking info is not updating I don't have a clue where it is.

I need to run some errands but don't want to miss the post person.

I'm still a newbie, but I've placed my second order from David. The first order was on 9 May, and arrived (Pacific NW) on 15 May, super fast! There was tracking info all the way.

My second order was on 23 May and was dispatched on 24 May. I realise there are tracking issues due to the move and a new shipper. No tracking info showed up until this morning (30 May) and the USPS tracking info says:

Class: Express Mail International®
Status: Foreign Acceptance

Your item was accepted on May 30, 2009 at 8:31 PM. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.


The EMS info says it was dispatched from the sorting center on 31 May.

What does this mean? It is now 5:45pm (30 May) my time. Is it in the US? At Customs? What does "Status: Foreign Acceptance" mean on the USPS site?

Thanks for any help! (Just worried about the whole Customs issue......)
