I had a package from Lhasa to Shanghai take 2 days longer than the "should arrive by time, ended up having to change flights and hotels. Thus, I don't count EMS reliable anymore. When I called them to find out why it was delayed, all I know is that it just "hasn't arrive yet."
Reliable yes, on time not 100% sure.

I've NEVER had a problem with letters not getting to China (or to the US), takes anywhere from 14-21 days in my experience.
