Is anyone having problems with deliveries from China? Is Corona Virus delaying deliveries

Is anyone experiencing difficulties with deliveries from China? I ordered something which tracking says was despatched Feb 6 but still have not received it. Is Corona Virus preventing promt deliveries from China and elsewhere?

I too have a package from China that tracking shows as arriving in Melb around the 14th/15th.

 

Maybe customs is putting the processing of packages from China on hold for 9 days from when they arrive (just to be sure).

Maybe so. 

 

Well, it's not just my parcel then.

 

Imagine the backlog of stuff to be sent out once they are (hopefully) satisfied all is OK

Sorry to tell you this but 'Singapore' is a proxy destination for China where your goods are manufactured and despatched from.  Chinese sellers use that location to think you will receive it faster.

 

Plenty of threads on here about 'Item Location misrepresentation'.  Normally you would be lucky to receive your item in 30-45 days.  Under the current circumstances start counting the months...

I'm waiting on a few packages from China, they are all past their last delivery date and have "Deliveries from China may be delayed" in the tracking information.

I've fallen victim to the location misrepresentation ,ordered parts from Sydney  (5-7 days shipping) only to discover when i looked at their store they are based in China .  I sent several messages with no reply so opened a INR and was refunded today .They are still advertising the same parts

That's the bit you do BEFORE purchase.

Yes, I am having some troubles. Frustrating it definitely is since we don't know hw long this will be. And I did just get the tracking number sent but it must not have been soon enough before

Not all from China is rubbish, just not all from the U.S. is rubbish-and yes in both as in all countries there are terrible things made sold and sent. Don't single them out. We make plenty of rubbish here too.

The question was whether you have had issue or received the "delayed" notice from China. Yes or no would suffice.

My stuff from China is dribbling in now so at least some of their warehouses are back to work.
