I don't order from gaybeast in the first place, but even if I did, I wouldn't bother, because it's not worth my time.

2016-07-05 18:22:44 UTC  

many european posts have international branch

2016-07-05 18:22:55 UTC  

and that international branch also has chinese branch

2016-07-05 18:23:00 UTC  

which is what the chinks use

2016-07-05 18:23:20 UTC  

generally these european posts are inferior to Chinese Post Registered Airmail

2016-07-05 18:23:30 UTC  

but superior to regular untracked chink post

2016-07-05 18:23:51 UTC  

afaik all european posts have tracking, but it sucks compared to registered airmail

2016-07-05 18:24:02 UTC  

Their tracking info is also odd. You'll get a "item will arrive in 5-10 days" and that's it

2016-07-05 18:24:14 UTC  

yeah, often vague

2016-07-05 18:24:26 UTC  

you get like

>in your post office

2016-07-05 18:24:38 UTC  

Understandable RE: Points, it's certainly a pain in the arse you can only use them for 30% of your item value

2016-07-05 18:24:39 UTC  

thats all tracking

2016-07-05 18:24:55 UTC  

while china registered airmal has like 10 different chenk points in same day

2016-07-05 18:25:17 UTC  

I'm perfectly fine with that for free

2016-07-05 18:25:17 UTC  

every time worker touches the packet they add another "china exports hub" tracking mark

2016-07-05 18:27:00 UTC  

Then why doesn't gearbest let me pick which chink shit postal service I'd like?

2016-07-05 18:27:14 UTC  

They seem to pick a random one each time

2016-07-05 18:27:24 UTC  

yeah it's kinda weird

2016-07-05 18:27:29 UTC  

Sometimes it's China post, and other times its Belgium post

2016-07-05 18:27:41 UTC  

these chink megastores like GearBest, FastTech etc

2016-07-05 18:27:46 UTC  

love to use european posts

2016-07-05 18:27:47 UTC  

They probably have deals with shipping companies and just use whatever is cheapest at the time of your order

2016-07-05 18:27:57 UTC  

while on aliexpress they mostly use chink post

2016-07-05 18:28:33 UTC  

an item I ordered from aliexpress came via sinotrans, company i've not used before, but once it arrived in the uk, royal mail tracking on it kicked in and it arrived stupid fast

2016-07-05 18:29:32 UTC  

woah never heard of sinotrans

2016-07-05 18:29:33 UTC  

but

2016-07-05 18:29:40 UTC  

>Sinotrans is the largest logistics company of China

2016-07-05 18:30:32 UTC  

I also ordered some items from a chink company, and that came via a UK only courier, so I'm thinking they may have shipped them to a contact in the country who just reshipped it within the uk

2016-07-05 18:31:03 UTC  

actually

2016-07-05 18:31:06 UTC  

how post works

2016-07-05 18:31:16 UTC  

is that the chinks only have to deliver it to UK post office

2016-07-05 18:31:26 UTC  

and royal mail gets cucked and has to deliver it to you

2016-07-05 18:31:34 UTC  

I am going to search a link for you

2016-07-05 18:31:39 UTC  

that we talked about a month ago

2016-07-05 18:31:44 UTC  

Yeah, but as I say, this wasn't royal mail
