Draguen wroteokay guys, am I the only one that is still waiting 2 months for his items ?
If it's small packet plus it can take 3 months
unfortunately it's not, with aliexpress standard shipping as well as china post express, i still have to wait at least 1.5 month.
I never really had to wait more than 60-70 days.
Only once, an item i had ordered took 4months but I'm almost certain that it traveled back to china then here.

some times they didn't ship item at all.
some times the parcel refused by customs in china
some times the parcel lost on its way
you have to open dispute if you didn't received your parcel within 60 days
in the last 8 months Most of my parcels shipped from china through Netherland post not arrived Lebanon.
wait more than 4 months and more than 12 parcrls not arrived from 20 parcels total. only 8 arrived.
does any faced problem like me with Netherland post?
I've been getting a netherlander tracking number but didn't know why, it must be a new chinese trick-workaround something. I genuinely thought that sellers had warehouses in netherlands. I shall wait and give you back my feedback, as only a couple of days have passed since I made my orders.

Not from ali but from japan, an item of mine arrived to airport in 7 days and got sent to distribution office same day(today), not handed to customs. Anyone had a similar experience?
I think it will be handed to customs when an item needs further inspection (like tech related stuff).
I got some books from amazon and they didn't pass through customs.

Now I'm starting to like the guys at customs. Aliexpress item 1 day at customs then delivered next day to me

Please call seller or customs

What should I do?

Libanpost are slower and slower, it used to take 48h from airport to my home, now it's taking 2 weeks with libanpost alone, they are totally lazy. The time it takes fromchine to Beirut is not the problem anymore but it's libanpost.
It's a screen protector for my camera.
emassaad wrotedid you mean Libanpost or the customs?
Dears Liban post called me yesterday to go to the main branch (Airport) and get my phone, I will update you.

This means that you will walk... you will walk a lot... in order to pay customs.

Not only walk, but go to MOT, wait for some days (in my case at least), the go pick a paper from MOT and take it to the airport again.

It was a long and humiliating process which is forbidding me from ordering any other phone from Aliexpress/online although I am intrigued by the OP6 or the xiaomi Mi8 etc...
