I've recently purchased Sea Swirl and Meadow Flower from a pretty reputable Chinese seller from ebay (not sure if allowed to post member IDs, so I won't ^^; ) the seller shipped it, but for about a week now, the tracking still says "posting" which was put on August 24th. I honestly have no idea what that means, I just know that i've bought from the seller before and the ponies I previously bought from them have came to me pretty fast with tracking updates and all.
And I know stuff can travel without being updated, which I honestly hope that's the case.
Its just this time...things feel off to me. I'm wondering is anything happening in China right now that's hindering mail? Like a natural disaster, national holiday, or postal strike? i'm curious and I wanna know what's going on >_<

I'm not sure if anything is happening in China, but I know almost every package I've had from there normally takes between 2-5 weeks to arrive. They could just be very slow updating the info over there :)
-
I think china in general is very slow. I would just give it some time. I have bought things from there and it does take awhile not like the US. The Uk can be so/so at times I just learn to deal with slow mail.

Nothing is happening here, everything is fine. :)
Sometimes packages are handled slower, who knows. Just be patient, I'm sure it will be ok.
-
I'm waiting on two different packages from China right now but I'm not at the worried point yet. Sometimes they come absurdly quick (just over a week) and sometimes excruciatingly slow (upwards of seven weeks). If they have decent feedback then it should be fine. ;)

Funny enough I bought a petticoat on eBay from China. It was put in the post on the 18th and just made it to NY today! Every time I buy from China it takes around 2 weeks. From the 19th to the 2nd tracking told me "origin post is preparing shipping."
Hang in there.

It's nice to know you've had the same experience :P I'm gonna try to distract myself from it. If they're not here on Sept. 17th (expected delivery day) then I guess I'll go from there.
