    So strange just after I posted this I got an update: The item is on transport to the country of destination

    Happy days, it's not lost and it's on the way to Ireland supposedly

    It just arrived to Dublin sorting centre today, not bad at all, 5 days from PostNL to An post, I should receive it by tomorrow hopefully.

    Posting this update incase someone is also waiting on a PostNL package, their delivery times are pretty normal again!

    Singapore post seems to be rubbish and hard to track phone cases shipped on 6/22 still not arrived and of course AliExpress auto completed the order! Even though seller protection has been extended.
    I usually get stuff shipped with AliExpress standard shipping as most reliable might go with china post on next items I order.

    Tracking info and sites for Chinese shipments seems to vary in their quality. I ordered a camera on Ali on 8 September. It's being shipped from Poland via Germany. The Cainiao tracking site (recommended in the app) is showing the package as having arrived in destination country. in reality it has just arrived in the German sorting centre for DHL - as can be seen on 17Track and the DHL site.

    Yeah same happens to me when my packages go through a transit country, they always say arrived at destination country when really it's in the Netherlands or somewhere else in Europe

    R******CN labelled item arrived 10 days after despatch! :eek:

    That's second fastest ever.

    On the other note, one item, very similarly labelled, now 3 months in limbo.

    Anyone have any experiences with YunExpress? An item I ordered from a marketplace seller on Amazon is coming with them. I paid £6 for postage so I hope it's not one of the ultra slow services.

    I presume you read this :

    Yun Express is an asia-pacific transport company. It is not a newby to the delivery market and works worldwide. ... It usually takes 20-45 days to get packages delivered but sometimes it can take around 3 month. But there is usually no problem and most buyers get their packages.

    Do they treat items from EU/UK warehouses of Chinese companies the same as if it comes from China? I ordered something from Banggood UK warehouse 2 weeks ago with a 2-5 day delivery time and no side of it. I forgot that all our air freight gets trucked from the UK.


    Edit...

    Never mind, post man called with a package.

    Had you received a refund on it? I ordered three items from Aliexpress on Sept 20th, one of which is KN95 masks, it arrived in Ireland on Sept 26th after just 6 days and has spent the last 4 days stuck in Irish customs with Estimated delivery: Oct 08 - Oct 16. Looks like they are presumably prioritising PPE gear at the moment.

    The other two items, 1 has not left China yet and the other is in Singapore :confused: I guess its a case of see ya when I see ya and maybe I'll get ya for free.

    In case anyone else is wondering it took 12 days in total. It was 5 days from leaving China.

    Some of the stories above about months-long delays suggest I've not much to worry about here, but here goes anyway....

    Am an Ali Express novice, having previously bought only one item - was ordered in January and arrived sometime in early March.

    Then ordered two other things on October 17 last. One of them got here last week.

    For the other (from a different seller), tracking says it departed country of origin (i.e. China) on October 19. But no update since then, and it's now a full month later, even though it surely must have landed somewhere since that depature!

    Is this sort of thing common?

    Already did, before posting the above. The past couple of pages talk about various delays all right, but I don't see one with quite the same thing as what I'm asking about, where the tracking says "departed country of origin" but shows no sign of it ever actually arriving anywhere else.

    If it was showing as "arrived in destination country" or even arrived anywhere else along the way, at least I'd know where it was. But as things stand, it doesn't seem to be anywhere.

    Just curious because I chose the same shipping method for the other item I ordered from a different seller on the same day. That too said "departed country of origin" on the same date, and then arrived here a week or more ago.

    But thanks anyway.

    was there any tracking for item that arrived after it said "departed country of origin"? some shipping methods dont have tracking outside china.

    Actually just looking at it now:
    2020-11-10 09:52
    Delivered
    Delivery successful

    2020-11-10 08:02
    Delivering
    Shipment at local distribution center

    2020-11-10 05:59
    Accepted by Last Mile Carrier

    2020-10-19 17:00
    Departed country of origin

    So yeah, it was updated after the "departed country of origin" all right....but not until the "accepted by last mile carrier" (presumably referring to An Post), on the day before it was actually delivered. No mention of it arriving in country of destination either, or of being at customs, or anything like that.

    So I guess it might just be held up there. Thanks.
