EMS shipping? Scam possibility?

ordered a package from a company in china, ordered friday july 24, it is already in Canada and has cleared customs. They provided tracking number and it seems pretty darn fast to me, i should receive in a couple of days, here is the history of the item.

and i ordered on July 17th from ebay.. should i be worried? i dont know the expected delivery date or anything.

I used ebay to purchase a stuff from China. The seller told me my package is sent out and gave me a tracking number however the tracking number given is showing that the package is in sorting center Shangai on August 2nd. It's been more than a week now, is this thing a scam, I need my item urgently..Help!

EMS is not a scam, depending on where you package is shipped from and where it is going to arrive first is what determines your tracking information, if your package hasn't arrived anywhere yet how can you know where it is?

another thing that makes a lot of peopl second guess the company is that their package is staying in one place for a long time, your package must go though an international shipping city kind of like how if your flying out of the country you can only go from select airports, its the same for mail only select city can ship internationally. the big cities are shanghai and ca and again just like peope mail must go through customs this usually doesn't take long and within the day it should be passed through and shipped to its next stop. once in the us it again goes through customs and depending on your personal shipping arrangements it is sorted and ether sent to you via air and then by truck, or just by truck. if you thing this is a little odd, that normal, the chinese think our shipping is just as odd. everybody has their own way of doing things, we all just have to accept that.

Try not to worry too much about you package, it will soon arrive at your doorstep.

I tried to track on the EMS site but it said no information is available. Please help? Is this a scam?

I think it is a scam. I am in the same position. I cannot track the item as EMS have made that impossible. I have contacted PayPal who cannot get a response from the seller and are investigating my complaint. Hopefully I will get my money back but the best result would be PayPal blackballing EMS.

I regulary buy items from China and my seller uses EMS Shipping. They take awhile to get the item entered in the tracking system so I would just give it a few days if I was you.

EMS is SLOW too...when I order something, I expect to wait 2 weeks. Customs usually keep it for awhile.

you need to wait a few days for the ems website to update. Plus you can use the tracking number they give with for example, Canada Post or United States Postal service site.

i ORDERED PRODUCT ONE MONTH AGO, MY TRACKING NUMBERS NEVER WORKED......AND NO PRODUCT, I AM IN CHINA....HELP!
