Next time you need to choose EMS, fedex or DHL.. When you're using china post the system not update the tracking number sometimes. You need to check it again after 13 days seller gave to you.
I have decided that I will only receive shipments by DHL or Fedex. Haven't tried EMS before. Is EMS just as good and fast as DHL or Fedex?
I really hate China Post - Go with DHL if you want to do it right. EMS is better than China Post
but not as good as DHL if you ask me.

You could have tried the tracking on usps.com (it usually tells you if the item was dispatched or not).

I am from Canada. The tracking # from the Singapore Post shipment is showing up on Canada Post. I'm expecting 5 packages from Sweden Post and am really regretting not paying extra for shipping and getting it by DHL. Those are the first and only packages that I will ever get by Sweden Post. The tracking hasn't been updated in 13 days! The last tracking says "Order departed from sorting hub". It is 3 weeks and counting that I am waiting for my packages. I'm assuming that Canada Post takes over the shipment from Sweden Post. The tracking does not show up on Canada Post yet for any of the 5 packages.In the USA, does usps take over for the Sweden Post shipments?

Are you buying these items to resell? if so then you won't make much profit paying extra for shipping. Most sellers will add EMS, DHL, etc..for free if your order succeeds a certain amount (usually a hundred bucks). Also it's normal for the tracking not to update within 10 - 20 days because when going through customs it sits there for most of the trip, once dispatched from customs your item arrives within 4 - 6 days (at least that's how long it always takes for my packages to arrive).
Yes, buying to resell. My orders are usually between $150-$200. Shipping costs definately eat into profits! For example, it cost me $38 for shipping on 50 Cell Phone batteries through DHL. I'm going to start ordering 100 at a time because the shipping cost is the same. Thought I'd save some money and choose the Free shipping option by Sweden Post. Waiting on 5 packages now. If I could do those orders over again, I'd pay for the shipping through DHL instead of the Free shipping through Sweden Post.
Good to know about the tracking not updating for that long because it is sitting in Customs. Wonder how DHL and Fedex gets the packages quickly through customs. Any package that I get through DHL gets processed in less than a day in Customs.

I suggest contacting your supplier and asking him for free EMS shipping, it's cheaper then DHL and arrives within 5 - 8 days. Or you can look for another supplier because if you're spending 200 dollars on orders and still having to pay shipping then your supplier is terrible. Plenty of other Chinese suppliers will give you free shipping on orders that large. And if your package doesn't leave customs within 25 days then i would contact them and ask them if something is wrong. Good luck on your resell business

I will be asking for a deal on shipping when I start ordering double the amount. Wouldn't say that my Supplier is terrible. His prices are lower than most other Sellers on Aliexpress and his products are good quality. Sellers that offer Free shipping usually have the shipping cost figured into the price. I'll use a few of my Auctions as an example. Some of my Auctions are $9 Buy it Now with $2.00 shipping. Or I have the same Auctions at $11 Buy it Now with Free Shipping.

I've ordered a lot of stuff through Chinapost and HK post, tracking takes 2 ~ 4 days to show up in their system. At these days, post trends to overload, try inquiring with Chinapost directly.
HK Post is cheaper and more efficient than China Post by far. Matter of fact I would say HK Post is comparable
to the USPS.

It need about 30 days to reach you if you use China post to deliver your package.
The package is easy to be lost when it is on way.
Every time My package is lost, I require the seller to resend the items via USPS.

My package is now with Canada Post and the expected delivery date is on December 31st. After 2 Months, the Seller received the package back from China Post and resent it by Singapore Post on December 10th. It is now 2 Months and 10 days since I ordered.
Two of my other packages from Sweden Post has finally updated its tracking after 18 days! It is now dispatched from Sweden to my Country (Canada). The tracking is now showing up on Canada Post, but Canada Post does not have the packages yet. My other 3 packages from Sweden Post still has not updated after several days. I'm getting packages by DHL or Fedex only from now on.

Finally received my product on Friday, December 27th by Singapore post. China Post held onto it for 2 Months before they returned it to the Seller. The Seller re-shipped it by Singapore Post on December 10th. Only my 2nd package received via Singapore Post. Wouldn't hesitate to have anything shipped by Singapore Post. Will never use China Post again!
