Which UBI site?

http://smartparcel.gotoubi.com/ doesn't show any more updates for me (but packages24.com does)

That's the one I'm looking at. I suppose (more) patience is in order.

All this time, I didn't realise you could press the arrow icon to expand the entries 🤪

Relieved to see it's made the recovery. What was it, cancer, heart failure, ...?

Don't know where I saw it, but someone recommended choosing ePacket shipping whenever possible. Could be the reason why the larger item arrived before its estimated timeframe?

"ePacket is a global courier service that has made possible faster deliveries from countries like China, Hong Kong, and Korea to the U.S. ecommerce sellers - the biggest winners from this new shipping option, who previously had to wait weeks to receive their wholesale shipments or retail orders."

The plot thickens on epacket recently been getting UBI items going with airmail look for this tracking status UPLIFTED FROM TRANSSHIPMENT HUB

First item (out of the three) arrived this morning, via NZ post courier. Non signature, so in the mailbox.

They slapped a NZ post label on top of the Aliexpress one. The "from" address and NZ post tracking site, indicate it's coming from Auckland airport (Laurence Stevens Drive), so it might have arrived by plane after all.

Interestingly it's the only free shipping item from this batch (the other two I paid for shipping)

Nothing here yet, although the courier typically gets here around 12:30-13:00ish.

Mine all changed to last mile carrier on April 30th at around 18:50 gmt-7 - also now saying Estimated delivery: Sep 18 which is like WTx!? really. I will see if there is anything happening this week and if not open disputes on everything except the most recent one which is still within the timeframe from when I ordered it. Other 4 are now about a month after due.

Worst one is paid on Feb. 26 2021 and lists Estimated Delivery Time:13-20 Days Will be shipped within (Business days) 5 Days - so thats now 6 weeks past when it should be here.

Depending on when the guarantee is, 75, or 90 days. Always open dispute if it hits those marks. I've never open a dispute before those marks, but I don't think ali will favor you if you do.

I order a fair bit of case fan cables, 10 at a time, that are $1.68 for 80cm cables. In NZ for similar quality are $10 for 30cm cables. (which I'd have to use 2-3 cables instead of 1 cable) save hundreds of dollars ordering from ali. So I'm willing to wait 2 month to save me a few hundred.

I chose the ePacket shipping this time to see if that persons comment was right. Ordered last week, Thursday.

It's been a week on the plane, the epacket got to the "departure" status the fastest out of all the packages I've ordered. Been almost 2 weeks since I've place the order

Nothing turned up. NZ Post still reporting "ready to send" with no movement since yesterday.

I feel like I'm posting on Twitter or something with these random status updates 😛

Second package delivered this morning via Courierpost

This is the larger item I paid extra for express shipping, and the seller sent via Aliexpress anyway (not that I'm still bitter about this)

Third item is still saying transit, and Im expecting it to be delivered via regular post (it should be just an envelope)

I would open a dispute if you could prove that they didn't ship with your paid shipping

Mine's showing as "in transit to local depot". I'm at work today but presumably this means it'll be delivered tomorrow. I didn't pay extra for postage.
