How long does it take to ship a package from Hong Kong to the US?
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.

That is because people who live in China are more concentrated on getting a better economic position. This means they build lots of factories of all sorts. They dump waste in the water so that means China's waterway pollution is very severe. China economic position is growing at 10% a year. Now though, they're trying to be a little more eco-friendly.
Another Answer
Actually there are more people in china than anywhere else in the world. The population of entire china is 1.5 billion! Since there are so many people in china, there must be high traffic pollution and high carbon dioxide levels over there. There are also a lot of people who smoke in public, and littering and spitting everywhere. There are some people who dump garbage and dirty water into farmwaters, causing water pollution.
