I've tried several methods for tracking Chinese orders and none of them are any good. Then I hit on a three-stage process that works perfectly every time.
1) place order
2) completely erase order from your mind
3) at some point in the future be surprised and delighted when vapemail drops through the door

That's the one I use now too .... As 99% of them will turn up eventually.

I had one last year I ordered from Priceangels at the begining of November and it eventually turned up late January..... had given up hope of ever seeing it.

I now only buy things I WANT from China like bargain shinies, bulk atties and coils etc and get all my day to day things I actually NEED in the UK that way you get the best of both worlds without the stress

It is now 4 weeks since Fasttech shipped my parcels through HK Post and still no sign of them through the tracking system.
One that was shipped a week after the ones being held hostage turned up last week so I am stumped as to what the **** has happened to them.
I wouldn't normal be bothered that they are taking so long if they were for myself but most of the stuff is for friend and workmates!

[mark1316]

Think the rule of thumb just now is wait 35 days and then open paypal case and move it to a claim before the 45 day mark then sit back and wait for the order or the refund.
I have not heard how delivery is working now since China post has been binned

Same situation as last year this time. At the end of China Comunist Party all things will be back to normal.

[stewarty]

Seems to be a problem for other suppliers too ... have been waiting over 5 weeks for a delivery from Health Cabin that would normally take 10 - 14 days.

As has been said before the Chinese postage system seems to go into meltdown after public holidays.

Gets even worse shortly when the Christmas post kicks in ...... last year I had one posted mid November and didn't show up till end January, had given up hope of ever getting it by the time it arrived.

Can I ask is it 35 days from payment or 35 days from shipping ?

Some new shipping options on Fasttech

Looks like a couple more options on FastTech for shipping, maybe worth a try when ordering. I havent seen a couple of these before (please correct me if I am wrong

This is for a $13-77 order.



"United Kingdom (UK) Express ePacket via China Post +$2.14 (9 to 14 days in transit typical)" -- is that a new option? 

Now has a "Sweden" option as well as a "Swisspost" option (different surcharge amount). 

I have used Swisspost option a couple of times and while it may be a fluke, they both came in about 12 days from dispatch from Fasttech.

I think that once you go above about $15 the cost of upgrade is standard for each option. See pic below for a £35 order




So $2 for the "UK Express E package" option
$1 extra for "Swisspost"
$ .5 for "Sweden Post"
