Snail mail
It has been a long way getting here.. I m relatively new and this is my first post in tea chat.. I have placed my first order from china to singapore.. It has been 3 weeks since my parcel was sent out by air mail I have been tracking and last known was on 30 may stated that it was exported out of china.. Till today I have no idea where is the parcel and how long does it takes to reach singapore from china or could it be lost somewhere
Re: Snail mail
About a month ago I ordered from Yunnan Sourcing and I accidentally chose China Ground. I still have not received it and the tracking is still stuck as having just left China. I believe this is pretty normal because other countries might not continue the scanning. Personally, I am just hanging in there and hoping for the best.mbrb1832 wrote:It has been a long way getting here.. I m relatively new and this is my first post in tea chat..

Is this your first order from china? There is nothing much we can do except to wait.

Re: Snail mail
If you chose surface shipping...you may be waiting 3-4 MONTHS.
if your tea went out on May 30th from China, you should get it within a week. SG Customs may be an issue, though--I don't know about SG specifically but your Customs are pretty crazy over there. What did you buy from China? Kyarazen might be the guy to ask since he lives in SG too.

Re: Snail mail
Today is already the 11th day since the parcel was exported out from Guangzhou I ordered some tea from Malaysia by ems and it took only 4 days to reach me.. This order from china are some tea samples, 3 teapots ( 1 of them is a factory teapot) and some accessories.. What worries me is teapot .. Hope that it will be in good condition upon arrival.. I have an bad experience with the parcel from Malaysia - F1 teapot that I ordered was slight chip at the spout.. The vendor is kind enough to replace me another but I find it a hassle and decided to keep itjayinhk wrote:If you chose surface shipping...you may be waiting 3-4 MONTHS.

Re: Snail mail
No, I order from China all the time. Usually it takes 1-3 weeks. I have had some slower shipping, but usually I do not choose surface. That was a mistake because I ordered it at 4 AM and wasn't paying attention. I'm expecting it sometime in the next month, surely. I have heard horror stories about MONTHS but on average I think 2 months is the longest it takes. If it takes longer, I suppose I'll be enjoying all my spring teas in the Fall...mbrb1832 wrote:Is this your first order from china? There is nothing much we can do except to wait.
