arminvanbuuren Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi i don't know if this has been discussed before but i am kind of confused.. i have 2 watches coming from china.. and in the ems site the tracking system hasn't been updated since the watch has been sent.. however in the australian post website it says that the item has arrived in melbourne.. waiting for it to go to adelaide.. is this normal? and if so which one is correct? because this is unusual for me.. as normally before arriving into australia.. it would normally say "dispatched from china" this time in the site it just says "arrival at sorting centres" then "arrived in melbourne custom and awaiting clearance"... so yeh i'm not sure why :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hambone Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Highly abnormal, decidedly irregular, unstandardized standardness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 That's perfectly normal. In other words: EMS TRACKING SUCKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 That's perfectly normal. In other words: EMS TRACKING SUCKS! According to EMS, Paul's package is still in Guangzhou, in the mystical "Sorting Office", though it arrived at my home on Thursday morning. Hehe.

TomRiddle Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 from my *limited* experience.. the last stop is in china and the travel-time it takes to go from there to wherever it's going's sorting center is maybe 2 days or so? so yea.. ems won't update until then.. here's a sample of mine which is a fully completed delivery 2007-06-27 21:21:00 City of Guangzhou Posting 2007-06-27 21:30:00 City of Guangzhou Despatch from Sorting Center 2007-06-27 23:20:00 City of Guangzhou Arrival at Sorting Center *** 2007-06-28 00:43:00 City of Guangzhou Despatch from Sorting Center 2007-07-01 13:11:00 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA USJFKA Arrival at Sorting Center 2007-07-02 08:35:00 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 11237 Arrival at Delivery Office 2007-07-02 14:00:00 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 11237 Attempted delivery 2007-07-02 14:01:00 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 11237 Delivery that stopped on the 2007-06-28 entry until it arrived in the USA on 7/01, basically for 3 days it just showed that last line as being despatched from china.. seems it's like this for others i've seen too which makes sense because all it says is that it left china and is on the way to wherever it's going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWP Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Tracking numbers are a means of creating anxiety and thus elevating blood pressure. I never use them anymore. All the dealers on this forum are reputable. Just relax, give it time, your package will appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I always tell my customers to use the International tracking with the Countries postal service, like stated EMS tracking site sucks.......big time! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my limited experience, I've found that I trust the EMS site UNTIL it leaves the sorting centre. Then afterwards, I just check USPS. They're more reliable then, and I'm certain their other country equivalents would be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's already in your city, then you can expect it by 1 PM your time. (Mine arrives in a local post office at 8 AM, and always comes at 11 AM all the time. Not sure why, but you could time it ironically with a watch!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
