Dennis143 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Thanks and Zack you owe me a dumb question!! You ask the next one to keep me looking good to my people!! B)Not so dumb really. Early on I too asked the same question, but not here. I have a good friend who, as a UPS International Manager traveled to China in the early '90s to setup UPS' throughout China. So, I told my SO to be sure to send her papers via UPS. I was dumbfounded to learn she had sent them via EMS. I assured her that they were now coming to me via 'a slow boat...' I had a lot to learn too. Actually, it was a good question. Link to comment
Randy W Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Express Mail Service Actually, it's international, including the USExpress Mail Service (EMS) is an international express postal service offered by postal-administration members of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) which created the EMS Cooperative in 1998 within the framework of the UPU, a specialized agency of the United Nations, to promote the harmonization and development of postal services worldwide. Currently EMS is offered by 143 of the 191 UPU member countries' postal authorities[1] and an integral part of their normal postal services. Seven additional countries have arrangements to deliver EMS items. An independent auditor measures the express delivery performance of all international EMS operators and each member is awarded a Gold, Silver, or Bronze certificate depending on their yearly performance. These countries are recorded in the EMS Cooperative's Hall of Fame. Link to comment

Shezhen - Have your SO go to "China Post" office (mail center) and get an EMS envelope and form. Delivery to Guangzhou should cost roughly 20rmb. Keep the receipt for tracking #. Link to comment

MikeandRong Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Don't feel bad, at first here I thought people were mispelling so by putting SO, did not have a clue SO=wife/GF/GG/etc....... If you need to track EMS later, look here, as China is specific as to the World EMS tracking website. http://www.track-trace.com/post http://www.ems.com.cn/english-main.jsp Link to comment
MikeandRong Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 The Post Office in China likes to seal the contents themself, so don't get to gun-ho on sealing it up ahead of time (only to have them rip it open to have a look and re-seal it again themself). Link to comment
