Shipping by
EMS (Express) service WILL NO LONGER guarantee delivery before Christmas Day. (Updated 17-Dec-09)

The
latest new from Hongkong Post regarding delays in Airmail shipments.
Delay in Outbound Air Mail Service
Recent
months have witnessed an upsurge of some 30% in outbound air mail
compared to corresponding period last year. In addition, with the
impact of global financial crisis, airlines have cut back on their
flights. These have resulted in the overall supply of air cargo space
lagging far behind demand. Hence delays by one to two weeks have been
caused to outbound air mail for a number of destinations including
Brazil, Russia, the US and Europe since late October.
Hongkong
Post is most concerned about the situation. With our efforts to secure
extra air cargo space from all possible sources and arrange chartered
flights, as well as to liaise with other postal administrations to
dispatch air mail via postal transfer, the situation regarding the
conveyance of outbound air mail has noticeably improved. Presently the
outbound air mail service may still experience a delay of three to five
days, but hopefully will resume normal after Christmas.

We are
closely monitoring all our shipments and there has been a marked
improvement, shorter processing times, in Airmail items in the last
couple of weeks.
