waiting for a package from China and it was shipped on 3rd March 2011?

Hi guys, hope everyone is well!

I'm waiting for a package from China and it was shipped on 3rd March 2011, but the tracking system is saying: "departure from outward office of exchange" on 6th March...

Is this normal, and if so any idea around an approximate date it should get to me here in England?

Many thanks!
