Shipping to Canada from China EMS or air?

[Suncoast]

I'm wondering if some of the more experienced buyers can chime in here and advise me if it is wortwhile to go EMS for shipping to Canada or go with Airmail. EMS is $25.00 and air is $10.00..from Toro
Thoughts?

I would say EMS for that price difference. Shipping took about 9 days to arrive in CONUS vs about 3 weeks by regular airmail.

For me, too, would opt for EMS for that price difference.

For Canada, it kinda depends.
I've had airmail sent and received in less than 3 weeks from Price angels.
For EMS, it usually takes 5-6 business days to get to Canada, 1 day for customs, then another 1-3 days depending where you are.
I've gotten 2 EMS from Sead, which was shipped from Guanzhou and it arrives in Vancouver, but since I live in Ontario, it takes another 2 days.
When I got my ems from Trevor, it went straight to Ontario.
So depends where the seller is and where you live in Canada. But I would say 2 weeks max, given no problems with customs.

I've had two shipments by EMS and 2 by airmail. Both the airmail packages arrived at my door in about 2 weeks-- not significantly longer than EMS and only slightly less tracking info.

EMS is usually to my doorstep in 14 days.
Last package I had shipped was Airmail and it took 32 days.

All depends on how patient you are willing to be.
