China Post Tracking

Most of the mail from China is delivered by national postal operators: in China, this is China Post.

China Post has existed since 1949 and joined the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in 1914. China Post is the national postal operator and handles the reception, delivery and issuance of domestic and international mail. The largest sorting centers for international mail in China are located in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

China Post Tracking Numbers

Track numbers of China Post are of the following types:

• R---CN (RA123456785CN) - small package. You can track China Post Registered Air Mail until the parcel is delivered to the addressee;

• 01234567890 - digital postal identifiers of 11 digits without letters. You can track China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus only in China, and it often shows only two or three statuses, or only Reception and Export.

How to track China Post Air Mail and China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus

China Post official website http://www.chinapost.com.cn/ is in Chinese, but the tracking page http://yjcx.chinapost.com.cn/qps/yjcx is intuitive.

Enter your track number in the largest field, and four captcha numbers in the bottom field and you will see where the package from China is now, as well as all the stages of its movement. True, this information will also be in Chinese.

The second significant disadvantage of tracking packages from China on the official website is that it is difficult to recognize the captcha numbers. And the most important thing is that now, in addition to captcha, you need to enter an additional code 大宗用户号 (No. bulk users) in a separate field, but what it is and where to get it is unknown.

That is why it is much more convenient to use clear and simple:

How to track your package from China without a postal track number

Recently, tracking numbers from China have been very common when the delivery of the state postal service is carried out in conjunction with a private logistics operator. Aliexpress sellers deliver parcels to Chinese commercial carriers: Yanwen, FlytExpress, SF Express, J-NET, etc., and they themselves provide delivery to the buyer either by state postal services or by the same transport companies, but from the recipient country (SDEK , SPSR Express, DPD, Nova Poshta, Mist Express, etc.)

The fact is that when delivered by air due to the loading of aircraft on direct flights or due to bans on the delivery of lithium batteries by China Post, parcels often go through transit countries, for example, Swedish Post, Finnish Post, Swiss Post, Latvian Post, Estonian Post etc.

The second important reason for sending through third countries is prosaic - this is how sellers reduce the cost of delivery. Inexpensive or free shipping with Aliexpress (actually included in the price of the goods, especially the cheap ones) determines the buyer's choice of a particular seller or store.
