Has anyone been able to progress there tracking number yet, I have looked today, and it still has nothing showing, from the email from Sean, it can take 48/72 hours to show? which seems strange as when we send items out from my work via Parcelforce, we can track them on line within a couple hours of sending.

Hi Tony
The UK Postal system is the best in the world and I believe you. This is EMS.
48/72 Hours is normal and when they are doing their job!

Thanks Sean, no doubt the units will arrive before they show as being show on there web site, what is there "normal" delivery? I was under the impression it's 3-5 working days from other items I have purchased from China

For Information:
Nearly all Air Freight is currently on hold except for perishable goods to allow more flights to get people back home
which should take about 10 days to complete as pre booked flight seats have preference.
Many planes are of course also in the wrong locations to restart the full timetable slots.

Thanks John, you are the bearer of bad news, I was hoping the unit would arrive before the National Meet, but it does not look like it now, I have just checked my tracking number and there is still nothing showing up on EMS web site, which means the unit has not even been sent out of China yet

FWIW, I ordered some bits from the USA on the 14th......they show on the USPS site that they've been collected, but after that nothing.......I suspect a lot of freight is in limbo at the moment.

Tony it took about 3 days for any tracking info to show on mine, and that was when there were no flight disruptions. Don't bother trying to track it on the home page, go into the actual tracking page as the home page didn't work for me. Once it shows the item as dispatched there was no update for about another 4 days then all of a sudden it shows up as arrived UK customs, then cleared from customs, and then it gets delivered about a day later. I'd give it 10 - 14 days in total just to be safe, but if your fortunate it be about a week.

Thanks Fraser, Sean posted a link to EMS web site along with the tracking number, I thought I would give it a try today it been about 70 hours, since Sean gave me the tracking number, I will give it a try over the weekend, but with all the flight problems, I won't hold my breath

I wish I had something to add, I just don't

I also wish that we had held them back until things were more certain
