Hi all,
Just wondering on the shipping time using ePacket from Aliexpress. The official website says 1-2 weeks but Aliexpress says 2-3 weeks so not sure who to believe, that’s why asking for some real life experiences from Ozbargainers.
Thanks

How long is a piece of string?
There are several unquantifiable links in the chain of seller sending the goods, China Post handling, etc etc etc
I always expect my AliExpress packages to arrive 1-2 months, anything earlier is a pleasant surprise
ePacket is the option that's typically an extra ~$1.50USD? Mine have usually arrive in about a week and a half vs the 30+ days for normal shipping
Always epacket for me
Checked my last order - ordered on 30/5/19 and delivered on 11/6/19
ePacket was an extra $1.77USD on a $10USD item
My ePacket was free!
I've always had a positive experience with ePacket. They provide tracking too - normally takes about 1-2 weeks for me, but I've been getting packages delivered to the CBD. May take a few days longer for suburban/rural deliveries.
1-2 weeks normally for me. That said, sellers who say they're from Guangzhou or Shenzhen I find arrive earlier, including by China Post. Makes sense since they are port cities and have international airports.
Don't expect to see anything for at least 3 weeks minimum.
If it arrives sooner than that, lucky you.
Still waiting on Ali Express deliveries from orders sent March/April… not really expecting to see them.
My last AliExpress order for a replacement vivofit2 band took 12 weeks. I reached the end of buyer protection (8 weeks?) and got a refund ($3 item). It arrived last week which was pretty useless as I'd already bought a replacement locally.
For ePacket,my most common package time is probably 2-3 weeks. It'll take about 7-10 days to land in Australia and then another 1-10 days before being released by customs (really varies).
