yemmie Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi Everyone, I have a question. My wife's family has sent us two packages the slow way by China Post (I think). The first was sent on 08/23/09, the second on 09/10/09 to Portsmouth, Virginia. So far, neither has arrived. I have been told by the family that there is no way to track them. Is it unusual for it to take this long? Any information or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirty Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Did they send it by boat? That's the cheapest and slowest option available here. If so, it's not unusual for it to take months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Did they write "AIRMAIL" on the packages? If they didn't specify airmail, then it could of gotten shipped via slow boat. This happened to me during my first year in China. Customs issues are also a possibility. I realize that this is coming from the other way - but I've been shipped packages from the States that never made it to our home in China. China's regular snail mail system is completely awful/unreliable! That's why it's always best to send something through registered mail, rather than plain old snail mail.
