How long does it take for an item from Hong Kong China to be received in Canada??

It really depends on the mail service which was used.  If you've paid for really expensive shipping it will arrive in about a week.  If, however, you have bought something inexpensive like, say, a cheap watch, it will come via snail-mail and take 2-4 weeks.  2 weeks would be lightening fast, -- this time of year, 4 weeks is more likely.

If, however, after about 5 weeks your items have not arrived, contact the seller.  If you are promised a replacement, it may be wiser to ask for a refund instead.  Those 'replacements' rarely show up.  If your seller is of no help, you might like to consider opening a claim.  The following link will tell you about it:

You have only 45 days from when you paid to do this, and best to do it no later than day 43.  Some sellers are skilled at sweetly delaying you past that 45 day deadline after which they ignore you because you can then do nothing.  So don't be delayed, not ever.  And once you open a claim, do not ever close it until you have either your money back or your item in your hand.  A closed claim can never be reopened.  Sellers know that, too.

But I'm sure your items will arrive soon enough and all will be well.  Read through the above link, though, just so you always know what to do if there's a problem.

Best wishes. 🙂
