I purchased a product from China and incurred an associated high shipping cost as it was shipped through EMS. Therefore I expected a relatively quick shipping time. After 15 days tracking shows as no information available and 'international departure'. Would never purchase an item again that uses EMS - terrible service at such high cost. They should be held to account.
ravomanSamMar 29, 20215Although Daisy told me packages sent by EMS are delayed. Mine is not slow. It takes 8 days to reach the United States after shipping. I think I could receive it in another 3 days.
Sammbe1200Nov 12, 20201I wish I could give them ZERO stars! This is absolutely the FIRST and LAST time I am using EMS. They had my package since 10/28 with no movement or updates! It just updated today with NO expected date for me to receive my package! I know that there is a pandemic however it does not take this long here in the U.S. and we are in worse shape than china is with the coronavirus. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!

Hi YamanTakumi,
It's not on the way back. It was handed over to the carrier transport on March 17 and usually takes about 20-40 days to have update showing it arrives in Germany after it was handed over to the carrier transport. You'd better wait for more days to get update. If there is no update in two months, you need to contact the seller to get a solution as soon as possible.
