EMS Shipping During the Holiday Season
Since EMS is a pretty popular shipping option for Lolitas getting items from Japan, I thought I'd ask here: In your opinion, how much does the holiday season impact EMS shipping times for you? Do your items come in later than usual, or on time? If they come in later and you tend to watch your tracking, do things get slowed down more on the Japanese end of things, or in your home country?
I'm asking because this is my first time trying to order from Japan on a deadline during this time of the year, and I'm sort of desperately hoping that my item will come in time for ILD on December 7th. I live in New England, and most of my EMS packages take 4-6 days to get in, but I'm a little concerned that my last-minute order might not come in due to the postal hell that makes up Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.
