Very slow boat from China!!

Having been on holiday for a week without a single connection to the wired world it appears that the boat from China is even slower than I previously thought. I was expecting to come home, logon and find an e-mail confirming that my first shipment was on its way - instead there was absolutely nothing, not even an e-mail explaining that it hadn't yet been shipped but would be soon!

Given that I am paying an intermediary to take away the hassle of dealing directly with suppliers in China I am becoming very frustrated with the amount of chasing I am having to do - I am wondering whether for my next shipment I just go to the factory directly - the main problem with doing this is sorting out all of the logistics of shipping etc. which is why I didn't do this in the first place. However given the amount of time I am spending chasing the intermediary I feel I might as well invest that time in learning about shipping and organise it myself! Can it be that hard?
