The majority of postal items from China are 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 a national postal operator and receives, delivers and issues domestic and international mail. The largest international mail sorting centers in China are located in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

China Post Tracking Numbers

All postal items from China are divided into tracked parcels and without the ability to track the parcel. These are the so-called registered and unregistered international shipments.

China Post track numbers 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;
• C---CN (CD123456785CN) – regular package. China Post Air Parcel tracking also works until delivery;
• 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 tracking number into the largest field, and the four digits of the captcha into the lower field and you will see where the parcel 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 parcels from China on the official website is that it is difficult to recognize captcha numbers. And the most important thing is that now, in addition to the 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 parcel from China without a postal tracking number

Recently, tracking numbers from China have become very common when delivery by 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 ensure delivery to the buyer either by state postal services or by the same transport companies, but from the recipient’s country (SDEK , SPSR Express, DPD, Nova Poshta, Mist Express, etc.)

The fact is that when delivered by air due to the loading of planes 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 delivery from Aliexpress (actually included in the price of the product, especially a cheap one) determines the buyer’s choice of a particular seller or store.

Let's look at some examples of tracking shipments from China.

For example, for Russia it is “RU”, parcels sent from/to China are marked with the letters “CH”, Hong Kong is identified as “HK” - a complete list of countries and postal codes is available on the wikipedia website.

This may be a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, a foreign passport, a military ID, a certificate of release or another identity document that temporarily replaces a passport.

Valuable parcels and letters are often sent by mail.

Senders are worried about their safety, but thanks to special services it is now possible to track mail.

Postal tracking makes it possible to ensure that the package will be delivered safely to the addressee.

Tracking postal items by ID

Tracking mail items by ID has become popular. Moreover, this procedure does not take much time, it is a matter of several minutes.

How are postal tracking performed using an identifier? Each parcel/letter that will be sent is assigned a specific number, and “monitoring” is carried out on it.

The resource provides detailed information about each postal shipment, including its main parameters - weight, parcel status and its value.

What is a mail ID?

A postal identifier is a track number; it consists of numbers and letters and is unique. Using this code, any shipment is monitored throughout the entire journey, starting from the point of editing and ending with the final destination.

To track a postal item using an identification code, you do not need to waste time and nerves standing in queues.

You just need to register on the website and enter the tracking number.

After entering the track code, you will be provided with information about the status of the shipment sent by mail, information about the date of receipt and delivery of the parcel to the addressee (if it has already taken place).

The advantages of this method of tracking parcels sent by mail are obvious. Information about the transportation of parcels can be received by email, just save the code in your individual account, and the information will be sent automatically. The benefit of this option is especially noticeable when you are waiting for several products ordered from different online stores at the same time.

Tracking items sent by mail using a track number is a simple and convenient way to “monitor” the movement of a parcel/letter. Thanks to the method of tracking the movement of postal items by identification number, you will always be aware of where the parcel you sent or expected is located.

When making purchases in foreign online stores, we are all one way or another faced with the issue of tracking the postal item by which the purchased product is delivered to us.

This article will discuss general issues related to tracking international mail items (IPO). The general principles by which IPOs are divided into tracked and untraceable, the main delivery stages that items go through, will be discussed. The issue of the structure of international tracking numbers assigned to IGOs ​​is separately considered.

We will also talk about average delivery times and factors that greatly influence these terms. A separate section will provide information on the possibilities of tracking IPOs on the websites of state postal services of the countries of the sender and recipient, as well as the use of universal independent services for tracking.

You can always find other additional information on these issues, as well as on customs clearance of international mail and the work of individual postal services in the wiki section of this site.

Basic principles

Tracked and non-tracked IGOs

• IPOs (international postal items) are divided into two main categories: Parcels
• (over 2 kg) Small packages

(up to 2 kg)

• MPOs are also divided into: Registered
• (with tracking capability)(not trackable)

Parcels, as well as any shipments via EMS, are always a registered shipment, but small packages can be either registered or unregistered.

A registered IPO in the country of departure is assigned a unique 13-digit tracking number, by which you can control the movement of the IPO from sender to recipient, using the tracking services of the national postal operators of these countries or independent tracking services.

The tracking number for registered small packages always starts with a letter R(Registered).

Accordingly, tracking the movement of MPO using tracking services is only possible for EMS shipments, parcels and registered small packages, provided that you know the tracking number.

Examples of tracking numbers:

• CQ123456785US – postal item from the USA (parcel)
• RN123456785US – postal item from the USA (small package)
• EE123456785US – EMS shipping from the USA
• RA123456785CN – postal item from China
• RJ123456785GB – postal item from Great Britain

The last 2 letters in the tracking number indicate the country in which the item is accepted for shipment. You can read more about the structure of the track number in the next section.

When an unregistered MPO arrives in Russia, Russian Post assigns it an internal tracking number of type RA*********RU. This number is internal information of the postal operator and is used for internal accounting of incoming international mail and subsequent settlements with the postal operator of the country of departure.

The recipient can find out this number only upon receipt of the IPO.

Track number structure

According to the rules of the UPU (Universal Postal Union) (standard S10), the IPO track number consists of 9 numbers and 4 letters. Track number structure: XX*********XX, where X are letters and * are numbers.

Example: RA123456785GB

The first two capital Latin letters indicate the type of postal item. Here are the main ones:

• LA-LZ- unregistered MPO weighing less than 2 kg (small package). Not tracked.
• RA-RZ- registered MPO weighing less than 2 kg (small package). Tracked.
• CA-CZ- registered MPO weighing more than 2 kg (parcel). Tracked.
• EA-EZ- registered IGO, issued as express shipment (EMS). Tracked.

Next, the track number indicates an eight-digit digital unique IPO number. According to UPU rules, it cannot be repeated for at least one year. The last (ninth) digit is a verification code calculated using a certain mathematical function of the item number.

At the end of the track number, two capital Latin letters are also indicated, which abbreviated the country of the sender according to the ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code standard. For example CN- China, S.G.- Singapore, G.B.- Great Britain, DE- Germany, US- USA, etc.

2. greatly simplifies the procedure for tracking registered mail items using the track number provided by the user and combines tracking systems of postal services from 27 countries around the world. Allows you to create lists of verifiable track numbers and keeps statistics on average delivery times for items from different countries. Allows you to predict the time it takes for a shipment to pass through one or another stage of delivery.

3. - can be installed on both PCs and personal mobile devices. The list of supported services includes more than 250 email services. Allows you to create lists of verified track numbers. In addition, it is possible to add user data to the tracking number, which allows you to have accurate information about all the events that occur with a specific order from the moment it is paid for in the store until the moment it is delivered to the recipient.

In addition to the above, there are many other mail tracking services with different capabilities and different composition of supported mail services, so there is no particular point in listing them. The only thing that stands out a little apart is that it does a good job of tracking China Post parcels, but has a rather inconvenient interface and does not support many of the recently emerging local Chinese logistics companies.

Why does the average buyer need tracking?

In this final section I would like to say a little not only about the technical side of the issue, which the article was devoted to, but also about the psychological side of the tracking issue. And also talk about the general purposes of tracking.

It is quite understandable that all buyers want to receive their goods as quickly as possible and secretly hope that the goods sent, say, from China or the USA will reach the recipient in Russia in a week. But, alas, miracles do not happen, and when choosing delivery of goods by the regular state postal service, you need to be mentally prepared for a wait of 3-4 weeks.

During this time, someone will check their track number only a few times to make sure that the shipment is moving, and someone will check their track number several dozen or hundreds of times... Of course, the latter is more typical for newcomers to online shopping and their excitement even somewhere justified. But the truth lies in the fact that no matter how many times we check our track number, the package will not move faster! Therefore, you still shouldn’t be so paranoid about tracking issues.

In essence, tracking is a tool for monitoring the physical movement of a shipment, in principle, a tool for monitoring compliance with delivery deadlines. And the shipment tracking data, for example, will be very useful to you if you decide to make any claims to the postal services regarding the delivery of the item or the speed of delivery.

Therefore, three main tracking purposes can be defined:

• Informational - when the recipient simply tracks the movement process and delivery time of his shipment, receiving information from tracking systems.
• Control - when the recipient, using information from tracking systems, can control the timing of the shipment at certain stages of its processing and delivery in order to correlate these timing with the control delivery dates and receive any compensation from the postal services in case of non-compliance with these deadlines.
• Evidentiary - when information from tracking systems serves as evidence in possible disputes between the sender and recipient, in case of failure to receive the shipment or its loss (alas, this also happens sometimes)

To reduce the time spent on the tracking process itself, it is of course recommended to use independent tracking services that allow you to create lists of tracked track numbers. The track number is added there once and only then you can easily view the tracking results once every 1-2 days. This significantly reduces the time it takes to track all your parcels and saves you stress.

Good luck with your shopping and fast shipping!
