I have the same problem with several shipments made around the first week of December. I’ve never had this happen with any orders before.

Business is not as usual right now, anything that burns fossil fuel is likely not being operated
Wow. I didn’t realize smog would affect cargo airplanes but I bet it does!
Several of my shipments just crossed the 35 day mark, never had them this slow. some kaidomain, some AE, some ebay. 
I have some stuff from BG that should have reached it’s destination 3 weeks ago.
Also 2 or 3 packages from Ebay but 2 or 3 out of 20 is not bad.
Damn that smog vid is scary! like really troublesome!
They don’t call China “the Factory” for nothing.
Yep, was in Tianjin, China for 2 months on a install, never seen the Sun till I flew out of Beijing! You have to be there to even believe it, I still can’t! :person_facepalming:
To me, it’s beginning to simply become a lesson learned.
When you witness people unable or unwilling to comment upon even simply possibly ‘fixing’ electronic products that are often a crapshoot for these prices…combined with anything bought actually getting here in the first place…it may just be time to admit that the party could be winding down all together given the new American administration.
‘Gambles’ are just that requiring a thirsty appetite for risk possibly ‘waning’ for many. These easily manipulated delivery times only exacerbate those feelings for many who have ‘lucked out’ to date.
China delays are weird.
I placed an order with BangGood around the 1st of November.
Tracking showed it had shipped November 2, but on December 6 it was still showing at a China facility.
BangGood said they would reship my order and if I received both orders, I was to either pay them for the 2nd order or reject it.
Both shipments arrived on January 5th.
How did 2 orders that were supposedly shipped more than 1 month apart arrive on the same day?
Presumably they still actually fly the airplanes over there, instead of having automation handling the takeoffs and the landings.
’oogled:
Apparently there’s no automated takeoff procedure, they need to see where they’re going on the runway.
The smog has also shut down ground transportation.
The second one caught up with the first one at some choke/hold point and they traveled toether after that.
I order atleast one item a day from China, yet I never get just one package in the mail box.
Most of the time I get 4 or 5 packages 2 times a week.
Edit: though it has been quiet lately.
Kinda off subject but when does Chinese New Year start??? :person_facepalming:
28th of January I think
Thank you, I need to get a couple of orders in right away then… :+1:
I ordered a charger on 11/26 from Gearbest, they posted a pic of the package and handed it off to postNL almost the next day… Now nothing, it has not moved! I will not order from Gearbest again, this always happens with them.
On the other hand an order from Reylight made it in less than 2 weeks.
Ya think?
Maybe they are holding the shipments until the new VAT taxes start in the USA?
Value Added Trump
Jack Ma met with the man today and he may be able to stave off the increases for a while, time will tell.
Glad to have hoarded the last 3 years, Prices, they may be going up.
Yeh, I kinda went crazy this year, too. I could open my own mini-Fasttech…
I could be a subsidiary…… :person_facepalming:
I hope the air’s clearer by then. Imagine what the smog would be like after the locals had all gone crazy with their New Year fireworks. Did you see the news articles about the Delhi smog in India after they fired off all their Diwali fireworks last year?
Hmmm, never thought about that…… 
Nope, I had not heard about the “Delhi smog after Diwali fireworks”, but I did just read about it.
Amazing………… 
… …
Thank for mentioning it, interesting reading. :+1:
They obviously take their fireworks & Diwali very seriously…………
They will only go up if the truth is actually told to the Americans (not sure if the rest of the world gives a rip) regarding how this trading (cough) ‘partnership’ developed in the first place and what exactly transpired economically during the run up to WTO membership/its aftermath.
I would equate the scramble for positioning now to many of those over maybe “50” hoping that their kids/grandkids don’t figure out anytime soon that the vast majority are not likely to earn or possess near the purchasing power that they were blessed with after WW2. If the continuance of keeping these smaller items shipping halfway around the world for ‘free’ mollifies the younger generation versus their flat out revolting over unsustainable issues such as pensions, healthcare or government welfare in general?
Nothing may change. (…‘for the time being’ and if we improbably don’t clash over who will rule the world next given the political sloppiness/greed/corruption tripping up the concept of freedom in the first place).
