Err… Why the latest Xiaomi shipping process is so slow? Based on Xiaomi Malaysia shipping FAQ, item will need 3-6 working days (excludes weekend and public holiday) in West Malaysia, and within 5-8 working days in East Malaysia to arrive. I ordered Mi Band and Mi In-Ear Headphones in first open sales on 28 January 2015. Items were processed the next day. However, it does not ship out the day after which it usually does. Something must be gone wrong or Mi Malaysia changed the shipping process. Yup, they did. They used FedEx International Priority DirectDistribution previously and using FedEx International Economy now. And items do not shipping direct from ShenZhen, China to your house anymore. Instead, they likely shipped in bulk to Malaysia first then distribute to your house. This will increase the shipping time…
Hmm… It should arrive today on 06/02/2015 since my items already arrived at local FedEx facility (BAYAN LEPAS MY) yesterday. It takes less than 1 hour to arrive my house from there. Oh well, guess that FedEx International Economy shipping fee is cheaper but slower and Xiaomi needs to cut cost in order to make more earning here. Look like we don’t have fast shipping from Xiaomi Malaysia anymore. And prepare yourself for 2 week shipping time frame. Or FedEx is the one to be blamed…
