The reason being China isn't really that far away from you. China is much much further away from Europe etc and it normally only takes 2 weeks to arrive here (UK).
True that. I am thinking it through because I have become fairly risk averse so what I am more concerned about is that the package DOES get delivered rather than time although the time factor does contribute to the overall risk. I have never used DHL but I believe the "safety" of registered airmail and DHL are the same, right?
