How is hongkong air mail during christmas?

I am considering ordering a sweet looking knife from Aliexpress and I am wondering if I should order after Christmas so it doesn’t get caught up in the Christmas mail rush and end up lost or stolen (its a bit pricey!), what is your experience with near Christmas shopping from China?

I plan to order from “KEVIN JOHN and WILD BOAR Flagship Onlineshop” he is in mainland China, any experience from that seller?

Thanks!

They have a good rep and good quality.

It might be just random variation, but HK seems to be faster than China post.

Order it now and maybe you’ll get it by X-mas. Include a note to the seller that you want it before then.

Use a CC so you can dispute the charge if it doesn’t show up.
