I order stuff a lot from China, judging by the date you ordered on Singles Day. Singles Day is hell for the chinese postal industry, and it will take a lot longer than normal to get out of mainland asia and into eastern europe. I am guessing the "have reached the destination country" is either:

1) It is actually in UK customs - but considering it is being updated it is unlikely
2) Just a message sent to all parcels arriving into a certain country.

At least now it's travelled 2000km from Illetsk to Smolensk in only 2 days, only about 3000km to go :nana: :nana:
Let me guess, Gearbest/Geekbuying? Some of their shipment had been fast but like you said, it had been really slow recently. Some tracking number don't even work properly. Must be a combination of Singles Day plus Christmas coming up. Just hope they will arrive before Christmas.
Nope, I ordered it from Aliexpress - an Anne Pro keyboard.
Did yours get any further? I have no more updates since the 29 Nov one.

I got some updates today backdated to the second - like you did. It appears to have "arrived to the destination country", checked into Brest then "arrived to the destination country" again a few hours later - I guess it is Poland seeing it is on the border to Belarus, it can't get into Germany in 4 hours, it is at least 10 hours from Brest.

Considering how backdated the replies are I would guess it will arrive during next week.

Same here! I suspect our packages are in the same bag!

2017-12-02 04:56 Have reached the destination country
2017-12-02 00:12 Brest, Belarusian processing centre, has left
2017-11-30 15:50 Have reached the destination country

Not showing on RM's website yet, so may not have reached the UK yet.

On the bright side, another of my package is now showing on RM's website and had reached Inverness. Just this storm stopping it from getting to me I guess.

Ok so both our parcels are now off the system? Weird, never happened to me before but the amount of items I've ordered from China is probably under 15.

Could anyone enlighten me on the cause of this?

I also tried royal mail tracking, but with no luck, as well as the standard 17track.


EDIT: I WAS AN IDIOT.

THE PACKAGES HIT HEATHROW YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!
