Help with postage

Hi everyone. i brought a parcel (A wireless charger for my phone) and for some reason on the tracking website my parcel is stuck on the same command for ages.
this is the link (http://post-tracking.com/70881289202).
I am tracking it through China post and this is/was the courier. Can anyone help with what to do?

thanks for any advice and help given :smile:

Heya, I've bought things from China before which have mostly taken in excess of 3 weeks to arrive. I'd guess it'll be stuck on that phase for possibly another week? Not sure though :smile:
It doesnt update instantly either. Because its from china it will probably last less time than the time it takes to actually arive

Oh ok thanks for the reply :smile:. Can the product be rejected or will it actually turn up? i have been waiting 2 weeks but some people say it can take up to a month to deliver so i don't really know what to do.
sometimes the UK customs stops your parcels and won't release them until you pay some import tax... holding parcels hostage until we pay :frown: no idea why and which parcels they intercept...
Yeah and most customs fees are more expensive than the item itself

My parcel should've arrived a while ago then I received a letter from the UK customs and had to pay like 30 quid (I purchased a hundred quid cooker thingy from Japan) I think the price depends on how expensive your item is...anyways it's basically a rip off :s-smilie:
I would give it 4-6 weeks. Anything ive ever ordered from China has always arrived. Surely it said so ot you realise it might take a bit longer for it to be sent from China. It would normally be by surface mail as well, which means a ship.
I ve ordered headphones from China before,took a month but no customs charge

Oh ok. And its only a small wireless charger. thanks for the help, i hope it turns up. I was worried that the customs may reject my items because it is a wireless charger but who knows? thanks mate :smile:

They only do random checks and gifts below £34 are free from vat anyway.

When your parcel arrives, tell us if they remembered to glue the parts together.
