Beleive me it s veeeeeery long. I bought couple if things from china and took 2 months each to attive to canada. RIDICULOUS!!! In 2017 with planes and boats it s completly ridiculous. It took to Christoph Colomb less time to navigate europe to canada in boat. 5 weeks in 1649!!! But we are in 2017 and we have better planes and boats!! Ridiculous. I will never buy thins from china again. It doesnt worth it.

I have currently over 8 orders from China that I have been waiting over two months for. It wasn't great before, but now it just isn't worth it. I received something last week that I ordered in Nov 2016, that's five months and it was only a small envelope. Because it was a cheap item, I hadn't put in a claim. I understand that eBay might cut you off if you put in too many claims, so I usually don't bother. The problem is after 60 days you have no recourse and if you do receive something after that, you can't even leave feedback. The last item I ordered something, I was advised it could take up to 50 business days. Therefore, I have now decided if I order anything I will only order cheap items (in case I don't receive) and ones I am not in a hurry for.

Looks like the problems about fentanyl drugs coming from china are the responsible for the overcharge of the canada mail system, now most of all packages coming from there must be inspected (and possibly considered lost), there also sellers taking advantage of the problem and offering a estimated delivery near to 60 days expiration to claim a refund without send anything and making excuses until the refund expiration date (offering to "resend" the product or asking to be patient...).

Just one of my 5 products ordered since Jan/2017 (4 months) has arrived, the others cannot be refunded anymore and I don't have more hope to receiving them.

Buying from china worked good for me on the past but now maybe it's time to give a break...

Ebay system is flawed. After the 60 days mark I cannot put in a feedback to let everyone know of the terrible shipping time. And if I put a feedback before my items arrived, then I can't open a dispute..
I have over 20 items of which is past 70 days mark. I haven't put in a claim as I have received an email from ebay that they threaten to close my account if I put in too many claims. It's ironic that when I ebay contact customer service, they said to put in a claim. Now ebay sends me a message that I can't claim so many. Huh?
Anyways, lately, I've been emailing the seller directly to settle my disputes. But even then most sellers will promise you all sort of things but doesn't necessary deliver. You have to keep at it and threaten to open a dispute if it doesn't arrive soon. Ebay does it to me so why can't I do it to the seller?

I've bought a number of things from China; usually they come in 2-4 weeks to N.B.  That's kind of a wide range, but it depends whether they send it registered airmail (many do) or regular mail.  Registered is usually quicker.  Did the auction page give an estimate?  Some Chinese sellers provide little charts on their pages to tell you how long shipping takes to various parts of the world.

You have to be a little patient with stuff from China; it's coming a long way.  Most items do arrive within a month.  Put a note on your calendar so you don't forget the 45-day limit though; if you haven't received your item you can only open an item-not-received claim up to that point.  My plan is usually to contact the seller on day 40 just to let them know it's not here yet, & that I will have to open a case if it doesn't arrive in another few days.  Don't let them string you along past that point.

Hello Vickie,

I am sure you item will be along soon and it will work out very well, but you have a feedback of 1 and for many sellers that means you will not know about buyer protection and ebay claims policy.  Hence, they can take advantage of you.

Almost every day here there is a story of someone who bought an item from China and it never arrived, and s/he got kindest, most earnest sounding messages from the seller, -- to delay the buyer past the 45 day deadline.

If the item does not arrive after 4 weeks, open a dispute and escalate to a claim as soon as possible.  Some sellers have stooped to telling a new buyer "Close the claim and I will refund you".  Do not close it until you have either your item or your money first.  Once you close a claim you can never reopen it.

I have been shopping online for past 3 years.  My orders took 30 days (1 month) to arrive last year.  This year 2016 it has taken 40 to 70 days.  It is just slow this year.  I just got a parcel I ordered Jan. I makes buyer protection need to be extended.  So in 2016 it takes 40 to 60 days.

Hello Vickie!  When it comes to purchases from China, it usually takes around three to four weeks.  Ocasionally it is sooner.  Last month I had a coin delivered to me from China which I had ordered three months previous so I guess you never know!

[heidilynn0_3]

Hi Vickie.. 3-4 weeks hopefully. Here is the same Q and answers. Keep the 45 days for claims in find..

From China to east Canada, it may go down to two weeks or up to more than four months.

But the usual for me is around 4½ weeks.

I was surprised to learn that most part of the delay seems to be caused by Canada Post itself.

See this, from CTV News Calgary by Michael Franklin...

Hi Vicky,

Items take forever to arrive thèse days , if they arrive.  i bought 6 items ranging from 2 dollars to 70 dollars, the 2 dollars arrived after one month but the rest didtn't arrive at all its benn more than one month.

Good luck

Please don't blame or require refund from the Chinese sellers.

The reason why packages take over 2 months to arrive, it's because of the Canada Border (CBSA) agency. They block the packets for weeks for inspection and I wonder if they tape back small packages or they simply threw them to the garbage.

Vickie,

[flinflonkevin]

Im in northern Canada and just put in a request for refund for items ordered 75 days ago.

[marshmallowlover064]

Hi Vickie, 

I recently just ordered something from china and it takes 18-37 days, which is about 3-5 weeks. But when you posted this I think you would've already got your package.
