Shipping _ Banggood & GearBest _ Results are in

After more than 5 years (and still ongoing) of ordering online from ANY vendor, this is my conclusion:

—- Always factor-in the consistency of shipping in-consistence.

I hope your next package is a pleasant surprise… :beer:

Yes my BLF brother…. I took one for the team so as to complete this highly unscientific survey.

I felt it was the selfless thing to do… all in the interest of research of course. :smiley:
(Especially since those little buggers were on somekind of sale cheaper than I have ever seen them. :wink: )

I totally agree, next time might be totally different. :+1:

Although I must say, for me; over the past 18 months…. International Bridge shipments have been very consistant. Ranging from 9 to 12 days.

Nice test :slight_smile:

Any time I order from China, I forget about it and wait for the surprise:)

Yes this!
I think Gearbest reminds automatically after +/- 2 months nowadays.
AliExpress has a good notification system so one cannot miss ending of buyers protection period
Idk how Banggood does it

weird, i always order from BG with free shipping, they always provide me the working tracking code

those results seem much better than what I typically get, a lot faster in your case.

I have good luck with the banggood ( received in 9 days, one in 14 days), also with the gearbest and AliExpress…

I just now double checked superhero, to make sure I had not screwed up.I had not……
…… No tracking provided on this one at all.

There was tracking, as mentioned; on the “paid shipment”…… but it never worked at all. :wink:

Same here, much more fun than waiting for it

The latest order from GearBest is comical, good mind you; but comical none the less compared to the last FREE SHIPPING from GearBest.

I ordered two USB Soldering Irons. Small package, just under $10 for both, & FREE SHIPPING because there was no rush at all.

Package got here in 13 days and there was a Tracking Number that worked flawlessly the complete time.

Just goes to show once again, there is no rhyme or reason much of the time when ordering from across the pond……. :wink:

Just ordered something from BG. They included Priority Direct Mail shipping at no extra charge, maybe because of the value of the order? In any case, I received a tracking number, but I’m not sure who the carrier is. Google thinks it’s USPS, but the number is incomplete and there is no status. Maybe it will take more time before a status is posted?

My prior shipping experience with BG was not very good. I paid extra for expedited shipping and it took about 40 days to get it. Hope this one isn’t as bad.

I always pay extra for shipping (top tier) because you get a tracking number. I’ve done free and if your package gets lost then your SOL.

My banggood order shipped “standard shipping” or “air parcel register” went out FedEx Smartpost. 17track never figured out what it was.

I have found that of these tracking sites the PackageRadar usually tracks when many other fail.
I think they also have an Android app but that is only in Russian which I dont speak so I only use the main site.
At least the website is in English.

Recently BG deliveries take over a month to come here,while 6 months ago,it was 25 days max.

Thank you for this. PackageRadar recognized it as FedEx.

It may take some time before they show actual tracking info but they will send email notification when updates.

One other site to try if else fails is:
Shenzhen BEISHISHENG International Transportation Co.,Ltd
http://sky56.cn/english/track/index

This has been finding many of my orders PostNL Netherlands Post shown as carrier but the actual site not finding anything by tracking code yet.These tracking codes show like NL12345… , RS123… etc. and Sky56 seems to be the first part carrier and PostNL starts to track and show their own codes much later.
