• Answer:

  You are dramatically over-reacting. The tracking information proves that your item was shipped and shows exactly where it is. If the package is already in your region of the country, then it will be delivered within a day or two. EMS is the fastest air mail delivery available between China and America, unless you are willing to pay premium charges for FedEx or DHL. Normal air mail transit time from China to America is 1 to 2 weeks, so your package is right on schedule
