Wow, that is taking the long way home. :person_facepalming: . I guess it needed rest after all that, thus the layover in NYā¦ā¦ā¦ 
I did pay for tracking and expedited shipping before, only to learn that shipping didnāt work out. At some, random point after delivery the ID showed up on the system. To me this appeared like an insurance for the shipper rather than the buyer.
Afterwards I only used free international flat rate shipping and everything showed up within 21-29 days.
Iām not lucky like that, 3 of my orders still some where nearly 2 months after shipped . Gearbest gave me some untraceable numbers such as:
MYAMCJ: Feb 28, 2017 00:29:23 AM PST
Tracking Number: GEGMY00039207
Tried to contact with CS but no help because I think they donāt know about this tracking number too.
No joke, I GOT THE EXACT SAME NUMBERS!???
And hey donāt work for any shipping numbers at all!
They are squat, why the hell do they send them at all??
Your tracking number says this on sky56.cn
However from tracking several items I can say that sky56 tracking is basically estimated/fabricated. When they say the item arrived in US they are just guessing that it takes 8 days.
Thanks, Varbos. Now I narrowed them down to somewhere in US!!! 
They are not necessarily in the US. Sky56 tracking appears to be just a guess. They assume it will take 8 days to go from China to US, so they just add on exactly 8 days (note the identical time 2:29PM). Unfortunately it is not reliable.
So what useful info can I get out of tracking of my order belowā¦?

The useful information is that the parcel exists, they posted it and it appears to leave China on 10th March.
But as you can see, the USA arrival is again exactly 8 days after Transit Center. Transfer of customs is exactly 3hrs40 - same as above. Itās clear they are fiddling the numbers and just āguessingā when parcel arrives and how long it takes to go to customs. I noticed it when I compared several of my parcels.
At least I hope it is just a well-intentioned guess and there is nothing underhanded about it. But you never know with Chinese.
If you have a tracking number, grab the android app AfterShip. It auto detects shipping carriers and works with a ton of carriers. If you didnāt get a tracking number AND you contacted them AND itās over 21 business days, then open a PayPal claim.
To update: I waited 60 days as requested and my order of S2+ never came.
To Gearbestās credit they re-shipped the item and it arrived last week. So their customer service was OK and I will continue to use them.
Dear all, sorry for my delayed response:

5.Whatās the meaning of my tracking number shows the status āPre-advicedā or āNot Foundā?
Currently there is an information delay about the tracking of NLPost,
NLPost has too many parcels transporting to the Custom or transporting to Netherland Sorting Center,
the tracking information canāt be updated in time,
we could only beg your patience to wait for a few more days, to wait for the tracking information update.
It usually takes NLPost about 1-5 Business days to update new information.
