    2 parcels landed today, one ordered on the 31st March so 19 days, the other ordered 16th March, so over a month for that one.

    I've never used EMS, just DHL, which took 3 days door to door, and no duty - which is nice.

    FedEx and DPD are the best I've experienced from China. Some FedEx items from China beat Royal Mail second class within the UK.

    In a country where people earn $5 a day everything is cheap I suppose?
    And housing is $1/month probably too.... which also means cheap factory rents/bills.
