2016-07-05 18:24:26 UTC  

you get like

2016-07-05 18:24:32 UTC  

>on plane

2016-07-05 18:24:35 UTC  

>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

2016-07-05 18:31:47 UTC  

it was via yodel

2016-07-05 18:32:48 UTC  

yeah I dont know the ins and outs

2016-07-05 18:33:00 UTC  

but for most of the products this applies

2016-07-05 18:34:39 UTC  

stinky chinky will always find a way to chink the law regarding import, export and customs fees

2016-07-05 18:34:54 UTC  

I mean, it's not like the laws in another country can effect them

2016-07-05 18:37:08 UTC  

they could

2016-07-05 18:37:29 UTC  

but nobody wants to be protectionist because of muh free trade

2016-07-05 18:41:47 UTC  

The fastest time a chinky dinky arrived was in 10 days

2016-07-05 19:07:05 UTC  

I got one in 4 days once
