Does anyone have any experience with receiving shipments via this option? I placed a Pre-CNY order at FastTech during their clearance sale. During the checkout process, I selected the option to upgrade to the FedX SmartPost option. The order updated as shipped on Feb. 20… The tracking number provided is formatted as:

Does anyone have any experience with China EMS? I’ve never received a parcel via this method, and the shipping seems to be taking much longer than a traditional China Post shipping. It also seems that FastTech has automatically downgraded my shipping from the FedEx SmartPost option I purchased (cost .16 only…)?
