Warning: China/HK Ebay sellers LYING re: location and shipping

Nice pic, Winston. You look young again. I Have a receding hairline too for as long as it wasn't receding but just let it grow out in full so it can cover that "caveat" up. When you were in the USA, you didn't look good, dude. Your face was blotchy and you weren't washing your face daily/nightly. Kudos to your non-GMO intake over there in Asia. It worked wonders for ya. Cheers.

I ordered a laptop battery from Ebay for Dianne. But it's taking forever to arrive because I didn't write my address in Chinese, so they used some very slow European route. I don't know why. My complaint letter to him below explaining why this is illogical on multiple angles. Any explanation?

"Hi I don't understand a few things.

1. If the package is in transit, that means it's on the plane and flying here right? If so, a flight halfway around the world only takes 14 hours. Why would it take weeks? That makes no sense. Is it just sitting motionless in the cargo hold? If so that's F-ed up. Why would just an inefficient system exist?

2. Why couldn't you just have the Chinese courier you were gonna use, write the Chinese address for me? Chinese people and their postal system, can read English addresses. So this courier, if it was Chinese, should have been able to write the address in Chinese for me.

3. You seem to misunderstand what I said earlier. A private company should be faster than a government shipping company. Not a lot slower. If this weird shipping service you used is so slow and takes months, why didn't you just use the standard government post office then? At least that one takes under a week.

So this is illogical from multiple angles. I am going to Philippines soon, where I was going to give that battery to my girlfriend for her laptop. Now I won't be able to do that. Geez thanks. I would have shipped it to her directly of course, but your Ebay auction doesn't allow shipping to Philippines for some reason. May I ask why?

Can anyone explain why shipping would take 2 months? I mean it takes 14 hours for a plane to fly halfway around the globe. So why would a package be sitting around in a cargo hold or warehouse for 2 months? What's the logic behind that? Why is it necessary? Even if a package did have to fly to Germany first for DHL processing, that still doesn't explain why it would take 2 months, since you can fly to the other side of the world in 14 hours. So what's the hold up about? Why is it necessary? Anyone know?

Can anyone answer my questions above about drop shipping? Why does everyone use that nowadays? And why does it take up to 2 months?
