Hi @int077,
Do you have any official statements about this delay at JFK?
My company has a lot of parcels going to that hub, that left China up to 13 days ago going for that hub without any updates to it yet and our customers are going balistic sending mail to us now as they are products for Halloween. We thought shipping with EMS would be quicker but so far it hasn't been.
It would be nice, if there was some page, where this information on the delays at JFK could be sent to our customers.
Thank you.
1. Only personal observation. The main problem is the backlog of mail that was created in China Post during the National holiday in China from 01 - 08 Oct.
2. Some parcel (very few) got through during the holiday, the ones that were in the mail bag already tag and at the Airport from China to USA.
3. Now what is happening on the 9 Oct is the machine is starting to work again and there is no extra Aircraft for the thousand of parcels that were left there before the holiday. So now the well has to start all over again.
4. On the side of JFK, maybe there is to much mail coming in not only from China but from elsewhere also for that period of time. There is people here with parcel China Post Express Post Service(EMS) that have not receive their parcel yet going to JFK.
5. Sorry if I can not give you more info but that is my personal observation so far. Normally what I have seen in 9 days from departure date in China to USPS movement in USA. This is not happening right now to JFK.
6. The other thing to take into consideration is the USA Customs, you, I or the recipient have no control of that. Normally E Packet should be deliver from 6 to 12 working days excluding the time spent at the Customs of both country.
Hope this help.
