I was wondering if anyone could tell me the average shipping time to the US (Midwest area)? I've heard China airmail can end up taking a month or more, is this true? What about EMS? I know it's faster than the airmail, but how much faster (on average)? I know China airmail is slower during holiday seasons, and I know a lot of US suppliers are waiting on restock shipments after the Chinese New Year right now, so does that mean China airmail is slowed down right now while they catch up after the new year celebrations? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks. :)

Thank you for your asking.
Normally it takes 6-8 days to reach USA via EMS.
it takes 15-25 days to reach there via China airmail.
We do start to use UPS. it takes only 2-3 days to reach there. :)

Just for reference, my first order from them was made on Dec 23rd, shipped Dec 26th, and delivered on Dec 31 and this was during the holiday season using EMS. My next order was on the small side so I went with the China Registered Airmail. I ordered on Jan 22 but already knew that it wouldn't ship til after Jan 31. It was shipped out on Feb 3rd and finally left China bound for the US on Feb 9. It reached my local Post Office on Feb 15th but for some reason sat there until it was delivered today. So via China Airmail, it took 14 days but this was also during the big rush to get stuff shipped after the Chinese New Year. So I think that it wasn't too bad. For me I will probably use the China Airmail on my next order as well. It just has to be for stuff that I don't need right away.

Thank you for your post. :)

EMS is preferred if you do not want to wait for 15 days or longer. ;)

Update about my order - The information I got yesterday must have been wrong. It showed up at my door this morning. So, that means from ordering to receiving the package, four days. I was worried that it was going to take weeks, but it only took days. Thanks HC!

Good to hear that. :)
