How long does it take to ship a package from Hong Kong to the US?
Asked by Wiki User
It really depends on how and when they ship it. First class registered air mail could take as little as five days, while the post air mail could take as long as a month. You must also take Chinese holidays into account. In my personal experience, a package from Hong Kong shipped two days after I ordered it and arrived nine days after that.
Personal Experiences:
I ordered through SinoMobileParts on February 26th, and I have yet to receive my package as of April 15th. In fact, they sent out a second one on March 26th, because it seemed like the first one was never showing up, and that one has yet to arrive.
