i also waiting for mine, item reached Malaysia on 11 Dec 2014

today is 15 Dec 2014, now still waiting...

Yanwen is a private courier from China, they are intermediary agent using China Post to ship to Malaysia, then Pos Malaysia will take over from here.

YanWen provides their own tracking number looks something like this YC371234567YW, once it reached Malaysia, we can't use this tracking number in Pos Malaysia website to track anymore.

problem is we (me and the seller) don't have direct contact to the shipping agent at all, all they have is the YanWen tracking numbers. we dont know whether they ship by air or sea, we were only given YanWen tracking number, that's it.

Ask Pos Malaysia before, they don't recognize such tracking number format given by YanWen

basically the shipping is in this route:

China seller -> X -> YanWen -> China Post -> Pos Malaysia -> Malaysia Buyer
X = maybe there is an intermediary supplier/forwarder due to dropshipping by China seller

only YanWen has the ORIGINAL China Post tracking number which can be track at Pos Malaysia website, me and the china seller don't have this ORIGINAL china post tracking number because he/she probably doing dropshipping with suppliers or warehouse, he/she don't owned or hold the actual product.

YanWen is a trusted courier, I have shipment with them before.

No way i can have AWB or China Post Tracking number from YanWen unless i call them all the way to china. LOL
its not worth to contact YanWen all the way to china just for some small cheap item i bought from aliexpress. YanWen only have China contact numbers.

The problem now is I can't have the original tracking number, so everyday I'll have to make sure available to pick up when pos men deliver to me, if not i'll have to pickup myself at post office liao

it haven't been 1 week yet since 11 Dec 2014 and we have some gap in between during the weekend. normally it only took about 3 days to process by pos malaysia and deliver to my doorstep which i would expect should be today or tomorrow.

My item has just arrived today as predicted

Reach Malaysia on 11 Dec, that day onwards, there is no way i can track the item anymore,
i can only blindly wait for the item to reach my doorstep

3.5mm stereo cable extension (1 meter length)

Damage: RM2.10 X 1 piece

Aliexpress more convenient to me because is in English

For now... Taobao still in chinese language only, but their products are cheaper than Aliexpress,

maybe soon i will switch to taobao and use google translate as a helper once i feel comfortable with taobao website.

yes Pos Malaysia posman with motobike, bcoz my item is small size only, if big package normally they will deliver by van

normally they will deliver after the 3rd day, so be patient, depending on your state, i think u will get it by next week

yes, the tracking number is legit, otherwise it wont show on your yanwen tracking page

not worth it, bcoz this is just a small tiny cheap stuff from china
if u use FedEx, UPS, DHL, the cost of shipping is probably more than the item itself
i only use these expensive courier when I ship expensive stuffs, cheap small stuff i dont care one,
I am ok with 2-4 weeks delivery and almost everyday I have shipment deliver to me

my this week shipments

they charged by weight, not by your package value
most of my items wouldn't cost rm100 for shipping for sure bcoz it is very light, some as light as 20gram and item value cost less than RM20
i am an active online shopper, if everyday use expensive courier from china, betahan loh,
somemore i dont care slow shipping anyway bcoz almost everyday i got shipment deliver to my doorstep one
slow 1 or 2 weeks also i am ok, i can bear with that

all my package deliver straight right to my doorstep, no need collect at custom.
since GST starts, so far i never kena block by custom
last two years, i kena once before, ship by FedEx, package more than 8 kg, package value more than RM2k, FedEx collect sales tax from me, settle at my doorstep, no need to go custom to settle.

anything coming from overseas(import) has to go tru custom one, even the FedEx one,
but the way they inspect is by random and with one eye close, one eye open method.

now i only use free shipping China Post Air Mail

i only use FedEx, UPS or DHL whenever I want to ship expensive or high value stuffs, so if anything happen, i got covered by their 50% insurance policy

if I only want to ship small cheap stuffs, i dont care, just use the free shipping China Post Air Mail can ady, no insurance oso nvm, bcoz it just a dirt cheap china stuffs, the item is just too cheap until no one even bother to songlap the item anyway, so i dont really worry much

yupe
is cheap, many sellers in china offer it as free shipping, probably they already added the cost into the item itself,
2-4 weeks, and sometimes non registered mail can go missing, so far never happen to me
i have no problem so far

yes small only, but if registered mail, there is still a cost to register that mail to get tracking number, but very cheap nia

china poslaju is EMS, that one slightly laju a bit only nia

the logo look like this

i seldom use EMS, basically when your item reached malaysia, poslaju malaysia will take over and deliver to you, so if u know how poslaju service is, that it is.
and from china side, then im not really sure how is their service.

if u use china post, when reached malaysia, normal pos malaysia posmen will take over and deliver to u.

really ? that is weird, last time I use UPS too, but they never use poslaju to deliver, it was their own UPS staff deliver to me with their courier van.

ooo ok
