If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any at all my first order gets turned away then it gets reshipped passes through customs in record time then well have a look and you can see for yourselves.It has nothing to do with which company I order from I just have bad luck and this is my first order from china I really hope my second order will be much smoother then this.
2011/06/03 08:10 MIDLAND Item out for delivery
2011/06/02 03:29 NEWMARKET Canada Post processing error; item re-routed. Possible delay
2011/05/28 08:04 VANCOUVER Item was released by Customs and is now with Canada Post for processing
06:21 VANCOUVER International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs
2011/05/24 19:27 International item has left the origin country and is en route to Canada
18:13 International item mailed in origin country

Update:
My order took quite some time I placed the order may 10th it got turned away once, then reshipped still not all that bad considering all their Fuzz ups and having to be reshipped eh.:) I figure if it hadn't got stopped at customs it would have only taken like 10 days.
I hope my next order doesn't travel the world and if it does at least send me postcard's :laugh:

I don't know about faster, but I find the delivery time is about the same. 4 deliveries from China and at least 2 dozen from the US (various items) from many different companies took an average of 3 weeks. In my experience postal rates are approx. double from the US. The Chinese products are much cheaper so there is quite a saving which is an important consideration. (at least for me).

I mentioned 3 weeks for my 4 deliveries from China. It's actually 17 days average. I also have 2 orders from China that I took a gamble on and ordered on May 28th knowing of a possible strike. They have not reached Vancouver yet, so I may not see them for a while, and one of them contains a few 30ml bottles of juice. I will continue getting my stuff from China because of the savings, but that may change if I start getting my orders sent back.

Seventeen bucks for EMS shipping from Greenhouse One. Including time spent in Customs the order arrived in six days (well, the mailman's not here _yet_, but ..)

2011/06/08 08:56 WHITEROCK Item out for delivery
2011/06/07 10:28 VANCOUVER Item was released by Customs and is now with Canada Post for processing
2011/06/05 16:37 VANCOUVER International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs

My 2 parcels from Health Cabin are moving slower. They shipped out the day after I placed the order. One of them shipped from China on May 28th and the other on May 30th. Both reached Vancouver Customs at the same time yesterday June 7th.

hey guys I'm getting worried, i dunno what the h&ll is going on with my order. ok so my item arrived in vancouver customs on the 8th of august and today is the 23rd of august... its apparently still being "reviewed" by customs, this is what canada post says:
2011/08/11 06:22 VANCOUVER International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs

i have two shipments and they both say the same damn thing!
is this normal? whats the longest period of time that customs can hold on the shipping before i know that its been rejected or seized? also does canada post update their site everyday? is it a good chance that they are lacking on updating my order? sorry for all these questions but i'm dying to know! and btw i ordered from health cabin as their prices are remarkable and i got free shipping since i made an order of almost $260 and they wanted to separate the hardware and the juice for a better chance to make it in canada safely. also amy said in one of her posts that since january 2011 none of their orders have been rejected or sent back.... and oh for got to mention that both of my boxes or packages have the same thing saying on canada post website.
any ideas guys?? as to what i should expect from this point on...?

So far in my experiance if it has been in customs more then a few days then it has been rejected I have a parcel that has been reading that it is being reviewed since July 22nd 2011 I have already gotten a letter from health Canada saying it was rejected when an Item is rejected you won't be able to tell from tracking it. Either untill they receive it back or you get the letter, my supplier has already reshipped it and I have already received that order. I would think at this point your package has been refused and you should expect a letter from health Canada this week perhaps they will reship to you good luck
2011/07/22 11:42 VANCOUVER International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs
out of 1500 since june 28th I have only had 2 orders rejected but my supplier is really good if it is not here with in 20 days they will reship for me 20 days is the longest I have ever waited for a package but that was due to Canada Post and the strike Usally 7 to 10 days this is a typical order from china for me

i see, i was on the canada post website and i says that i am unable to track any sort of letter mail package if expecting one. even if you have a tracking # the next time it updates is when the customer has signed saying they have received the package... so I'm hoping thats correct and i get my two packages some time this week. also amy from hc just messaged me saying "normally it takes 20-40 days to pass through customs. "

Yea it definetely sounds like its been rejected. I've ordered from eastmall.net three times never had a problem with customs and it clears usually within the day, and the juice is $4 for 20ml which is pretty cheap so I'd try them next time. Whats the url for Health Cabin? I googled them and couldn't find it.




Let me google that for you
