Has anyone else found that larger parcels like computer covers and sleeves take a shorter time to arrive than smaller parcels like screen protectors?

I think i have.

I've order a server case, seems like it's moving slower than the cables I've ordered (in separate order)

Maybe they detected the expansion card is buggy.

(sorry, I couldn't resist the dad pun)

What's the recent shipping time for UBI?

It only took average 2 weeks last year when I received my items via UBI mid-lockdown, but now I have items that were sent on the 8th Feb with no updates.

Depends on the seller. Some sellers put a 90 day "processing time", on top of the 90 days delivery time. I had one delivery that only took 4 days, but the seller took 4 weeks to "Process" the order.

I had 1 UBI package, order first week of Jan. Showed up about 2 weeks ago, with items I ordered on the 1st of Feb.

My guess they waited until their container was full before they shipped it.

I ordered a small package 10th Feb, robot vacuum parts. "Shipment accepted by airline" on 17th Feb on then "depart country of origin" (China) 24th Feb. Estimated delivery time is 13 - 20 days. We're at about 38 days now. It looks like this is pretty normal, but if it actually went on a plane as opposed to a boat I wonder where it's gone.

Back to the future ...

This is from the chinapost-track.com site.

Gonna wait to see if their prediction comes true.

That China Post tracking site is useful. Unlike the AliExpress site it says my package left Shenzhen by boat on 3/3/2021, so it will take a while to arrive. One website says about 40 days on the boat! Lucky I'm not in a hurry.

just had a long refunded parcel from September turn up. Its only 2 little HDMI adapters so not sure I will bother paying the seller. Never have any idea if they got any compensation from the post or not.

That's pretty close to when I ordered/UBI says it has left origin port. Hopefully mine arrives soon as well!

Were you able to track it on NZ post with the original UBI tracking number?

Nothing comes up with NZ post. But track24.net seems to give more frequent updates

Same here, ordered 7 September, allegedly arrived in NZ 20 September, delivered today after 193 days, 6 1/2 months. I wonder if our orders were both in some forgotten bin in a corner of a NZ Post warehouse.

Hi. I’m new to this forum but have previously used AliExpress with no real issues usually receiving orders within 2 to 4 weeks out of China. My latest orders on 17 & 18 feb were received on 6 & 11 March - China post air - but an order (of course the one I really needed) from 27/1 has been stuck on ‘departed port of origin’ Shenzhen since the 7/2 and has not moved since. This was AliExpress standard shipping which I paid a reasonable amount for. Interestingly, track24.net now shows ‘departed from origin port’ on 16/3.
Does this suggest some movement? Would this have gone on a slow boat and there is still hope of receiving this delivery or should I give up all hope and order elsewhere and try for a refund after the 90 days? Any suggestions appreciated.

Always apply for the refund at the 90 day mark. I’ve had packages show up months later after i got my refund, and others that had not.
You only have a short period to do so, and you’ll never get the chance to do it again.

Aliexpress says its an auto refund at 90 days but i’ve never tried it.

Ive attached an image showing the updates on when it leaves port are not accurate

And the second item, ordered a week or so later, has now also turned up. The tracking for both items actually made sense until they got to NZ, then there was no movement for six months. I wonder if it really was at the NZ end? The one odd thing is that it was recorded as Shenzhen -> HK -> NZ but the carrier was Emirates Post in both cases.
