china import tracking not working some times.

ok where to start, watch the new tracking on some imports from china...

I just had some packages take a trip around america (no kidding)

I am in south Iowa Usa, so chicago is the import destination for most usps and china post.

i just had one package take off to New Jersey, and another to Texas....

both were electronics items one was simple micro toggle switches

the other was 10 amp diodes..

so they started as delayed shipping going out of china by 3 working days.

not sure it that was a paypal thing or just show shippers getting the items ordered before shipping.

on the jersey diodes... tracking looked like this

and on relays tracking does not track on e-bay system and now the site the seller gave me is dead

shows in usa as of 04/02/2018

seller gave tracking site http: e.dhtexpress.com/ should be in 04/09/2018 2018-04-08 Location：OTTUMWA Status：Item being handed by local courier, tracking ended. estimated delivery 7-20 days? where is it? fake tracking link, no way to track item.

so what we need is a way for our sellers in china to use aproved shipper only or enter

the shipper web address to prove the items are shipped...

and we need paypal to hold the payment till the items arrive at the address of the buyer.

this will slow down the over seas sellers who are scamming e-bay with fake tracking or not having the items in stock and delaying the shipping or drop shipping the items from another vendor..

it has always been a pet pev of mine the drop ship sellers....

lots of them in the states as well!!

the sellers are selling items they do not have in stock at the sellers location...

that should fall under as fake item location rules..

drop shipping the items from grainger or amazon prime accounts...

if i wanted items from grainger i would buy from them!!

same on amazon items!!

now that radio shack is gone from the americas china direct looks to be the best choice

on items, just super long shipping times on the "slow boat from china" from the redirects on the Usa customs....

now with the new tarrifs this could be even worse!!

it could be even slower!!

it is getting harder for the american small mfg to make products here in the states..
