Heaven Gifts and Vapor Break shipping times to Thailand

[jackbox]

Just wanted to let people know my recent experience with Heaven Gifts and Vapor Break using China Post registered airmail shipping.

Heaven Gifts - 1 order received in 11 days after placing the order.
Vapor Break - 2 orders, first order received in eight days, second order in Thailand and will be delivered tomorrow in 11 days.

I can say I am quite happy with the shipping times using China Post registered airmail. All three packages originated from Beijing. I don't know why Health Cabin does not resume shipping considering that China Post registered airmail is the best it has ever been right now. They ship from Shenzhen, not Beijing, so maybe results would be different. I have found that in the past registered airmail from Health Cabin took up to a week longer than from Heaven Gifts at times.

Vapor Break= first order 12 days, second order 6 days which was just before Christmas

My brother also ordered a Vamo from Vapor Break the same day I did. His was shipped the same day as mine but got stuck in China for some unknown reason. There were two export scans from China Post five days apart. After the second export scan it took much longer than normal for it to show up in Thailand. But it finally got delivered 22 days after it ordered it. Twice as long as it took for mine to get here. Not Vapor Break's fault as they shipped it within one day.

Ye, I have had a go at vapourbreak a few times, mainly due to zero e mail replies or support, wrong color vamo being sent, but I guess once they've actually shipped items it's out of their hands so to speak
I was amazed at my 6 day delivery, that was great for slow China airmail

Yes, it varies based on the lunar calendar. All the Chinese vendors will shut down for a week to ten days. I suspect HC won't resume regular airmail until at least after the Chinese New Year Holiday. They usually run good sales during that time but I refuse to go through another EMS nightmare with them.
