Post China EMS custom clearance

Hello,

On monday, 10.10.16, I ordered through Ioffer a jacket.
Five days later seller provided to me a tracking number, that was on friday.

On tuesday, 18.10, seller notified me:
friend,
I am sorry.
Yesterday, I received the customs notice.
I sent you EMS shipping customs do not pass.
The customs has returned him.
I can only send you a Chinese air mail packet.

But on tracking site(EMS) there is no activity about that tracking number EA087136335CN

How could he have received the notice if there hadn't been any tracking info?

If that's correct, what's an alternative to EMS?

Sincerely,
Mark

1. The tracking number is a valid tracking number. Your parcel was never put into the China Mail system.

2. Your tracking number EA087136335CN is:
format 3: the number starts with “E” and ends with “CN”, i.e. EE123456789CN, EA987654321CN
This is China Post Express Post Service(EMS). Normally it is much faster than airmail and might take one to four weeks to arrive. The price is also much higher than airmail.

3. What you don't mention is if you paid extra to have the parcel sent to you by this mean. Register Air Mail parcel are much cheaper to send Oversea:
format 1: the number starts with “R” and ends with “CN”, i.e. RR123456789CN, RI987654321CN
This is China Post registered airmail. Normally it will arrive destination in 2 to 8 weeks.

4. You could use DHL for Express service but it will cost you much more money then Register Air Mail.

5. I don't know what the seller is trying to do with you and the parcel!

6. May I suggest you read this:

What are the stand formats of China Post tracking number? How to distinguish them?

Hope this help.

I paid for EMS

He notified me that the customs couldn't passed it through?

But how if it shows no tracking activity?

Is seller trying to scam me?

1. If the China Post EMS Customs will not pass through your jacket, do you think that the Jacket will pass through the China Post Register Air Mail. The answer to that question is no. If one does not pass the other one will be the same thing.

2. I don't know what the seller is trying to do with you, may I suggest you get away from this seller as soon as possible, try to get your money back.

3. Also if the Jacket is has this:
All items with copyright problem such as pirate CD/DVD, replica brands clothes,shoes and accessories etc.

It will not go through China Post Customs Officer.

4. Seller might think by sending the parcel by Register Air Mail the parcel will not be so much inspected by China Post Customs Office, that might be the reason he propose that to you.

5. At this point I don't know what to say more to you about your parcel.

Hope this help.

I just don't understand how could he have said that an item was rejected by customs?

But no activity on tracking site?

1. Like I said earlier, the parcel was never sent to China Post simple as that. The seller is lying to you can you understand. Get away from that seller, that is my advise to you.

Hope this help.

Yes, thank you.
I also assumed that he was lying although don't know why because he's reputable seller.

Actually I have paid for EMS, later on he proposed regular air mail, probably because of cost issues?

Don't know why tracking number is real?

1. Tracking number is real because he ask for a tracking number from China Post electronically without knowing how much it would cost for the parcel.

Hope this help.
