Got a package from the US today. It was under 4lbs and sent 1st class US mail. It took 13 days.

A big surprise was that it was delived to my home. Never had anything sent by US mail delivered to my home before.

I was lucky too! My parcel from new zealand just arrived today and it was delivered to my house! Took a bit longer though, about 17 days!

I guess maybe because there was a customs declaration on the parcel and it's signed as gift. But I don't know... Anyway still waiting for the one from the US...

Perhaps the facilities in the new airport have allowed an improvement in speed.

Did the international post office move? I went down there the other day on Beijing road and it said international post office on the door, but it was gutted and looked like it was under renovations.
