EMS shipping

Has anyone ordered something from company in China and the company used EMS as shipping courier to ship the product from China to Canada?

if so how many days it took to ship? 5 business days?

I am anxious to know realistically how many days it took you.


thanks

Shipping will take about 7 days to Toronto. Possibly even up to 2 weeks.

really depends on the service type...i've had some product from China take upwards of 4 weeks (yes EMS...free ship from ebay)...but some literally like 4 days also on more expensive products (paying $20 for shipping)

i've ordered some stuff from focalprice which I paid to have it shipped via EMS.

It came in about 5 business days and it arrived on the weekend. I was very surprised Canada post delivered on the Saturday.

HI just an update...i logged on EMS website to look in my shipping status

I am located in Toronto ,East side of Canada. The latest status shows that product has just left Shanghai , and heading to Vancouver. So i am kinda confused....


For those , living in Eastern part of Canada, who order products from China via EMS . does that make sense to you??

tks again

First of all, I think we all know where Toronto is. But do you know where China is? There is nothing unusual about a product coming from China and landing in Vancouver.

Yeah ... that's usually the route it takes for a package. Where did you think it goes?

I get stuff shipped via EMS all the time, and it's usually pretty quick. It usually takes 2 days or less to get to Canada. It's Custom process that will take the longest. Afterward, Canada Post Xpresspost takes over. So depends where it gets processed by Custom.
