    Have had a few packages come through them. Decent but, my stuff was mostly electronics parts.

    Did it take long? Was the tracking updated often?

    i got a package submitted through yanwen in the past, but for some reason eBay tracking includes the name and not just the tracking # (which is just a standard tracking number for ChinaPost ePacket) so details didn't come through properly in your eBay order details. just take the tracking number and through it onto 17track.net and you should get proper tracking details.

    Any Aussie here currently/had experienced any shipping delay in the last few weeks? I ordered my Jinbao Devy Set B since 29th of April and the latest update on the 3rd of May says still in Shanghai.

    If it went through Shanghai, it might get sent back if it's regular post. I been getting stuff from China via EMS or FedEx ever since April and 2 things were sent back, 1 thing from baba is still in transit since March 26th. I may never see it. Once it gets to Australia, it's all good, just got to get it here. I only do FedEx or DHL now or it still takes way too long or it gets sent back if it's near Shanghai. It's better than it was a month ago but still a pain. USA is no problems.

    I see, my package is using EMS so it may be the case. I have contacted my seller to see any updates. Cheers for the info

    Just got this from Baba about shipping to Canada so I guess it’s official now


    Hello, friend.

    Today we received the following notice from the logistics provider:

    According to Canada Post's urgent notice, due to the sharp increase in online shopping volume during the local epidemic isolation period, the volume of goods handled by Canada Post has increased sharply recently. And during the new crown epidemic period, due to the operation control, the mail backlog was serious. As a result, Canada Post will stop processing all inbound packages and focus on clearing the existing backlog, with service recovery time to be determined.

    We will pay close attention to the recovery of Canada Post and inform the recovery time of receiving and sending service in time.

    So the toys you bought cannot be sent out at present. Please wait patiently.

    Looks like Yanwen tracking on eBay is just borked, I put the tracking number into AfterShip and it’s working fine

    FTFY. Yeah, their tracking/site is terrible. I use aftership or 17track for that, those at least work.



    I wonder when Canada is going to start letting packages come in again. Seems like things are very slowly getting better over on the other side of the world.

    Thank god UPS and DHL seem to function just fine. SS Scrapper got from Arizona to Alberta (Canada) in less than 48 hours.

    As for outbound packages via Canada Post, they seem to be moving at a normal rate..... Unless they lose a package, which I'm dealing with at the moment.

    Just to let you know, looks like Australia has opened up for all shipping services and in a reasonable amount of time. Website still says the same B.S. but it is rolling real good from China and US. I just had a package using standard shipping from Yanwen hit NSW Customs this morning and it left China on the 18th. It says schedule for delivery on 26th. And got an email from TFSafari.com that Australia has the best record for shipments and has good timing. Mailed something Friday EMS and is moving fast. This is good!

    Apparently I'm an elitist prick that complains that I can't have my baby toys delivered when I want. Also, on these boards discussing = complaining.:rolleyes: 

    Anyway, good news! 3 orders, 4 packages, 3 out of 4 are in the USA.

    No tracking updates anywhere except on this site http://parcelsapp.com/ Try that site if you haven't already.:)

    this site is much better than 17track.net. however it's marked "Not Secured" in the browser.

    That site might not be any good after all. One of my items says out for delivery in Spring Hill FL. It better not be considering I'm in Tennessee. And it's Sunday. :confused:

    Has anyone received an email from Bababobo00712 that looked like this?

    [​IMG]

    I'm fine paying the extra shipping cost, I just want to make sure it's legit. The mis-spelled "Optimus Pirme" name and the request to just Paypal money to a random email address feels like a red flag to me.

    Alternatively, does anyone have the contact email link for Baba, so I can mail them directly and ask about this? I can't seem to find a contact link on their website.

    Thanks in advance!

    Excellent, thank you! Glad to get the confirmation... much appreciated!
