I ordered some figures on 9/2, and the guy is sending them through EMS. Just making sure I have the right notion on the tracking: So, this means it's shipped to the states right?
It could mean its on its way but it could also be on its way to a hub where it then gets loaded with other packages en route to the USA. You can also track your EMS number through Hongkong Post ???? if I'm not mistaken. The information there is updated more often then EMS' speedpost website.
From my expereiences, when it says dispatch from Outward Office of exchange, it means its on its way.
Looks to me like it left wherever it was supposed to leave from, but hadn't been received by another sorting facility yet. Pass thrown, but not yet caught, type of deal.
