FAQ and Answers – How We can help?

How is your China Post package handled?

Most packages from China are sent because you bought something from a seller. That why the shipping process starts with the seller brining your package to the local post office. This alone may take 3-5 days as many Chinese merchants do their shipments once or twice a week.

In addition, many sellers utilize so-called express agencies for shipment. This means the seller first send the package to those agencies which then is responsible for further processing of the shipment. This may take another 1-3 days, depending on the location of both the seller ad the next express agency.

When China Post finally gets your package, it will then be scanned and dispatched to an International Service Center. Most major countries have dedicated Service Centers. This way, delays due to backtracking don’t happen very often.

The next step is the security screening on the airport. Your package has to be checked for dangerous and/or illegal contents. When your package is cleared it will be loaded onto an airplane flying to the destination country. This may take 3-5 days.

When the package finally arrives in the destination country it has to go trough customs. Depending on the time of the year this in itself might take a few days, especially during Christmas.Once it’s released by the customs, it will be sent to local post offices for delivery. This process might take up to two weeks.

Why Is The China Post Package Tracking Not Working?

When our Website does not give you proper results when you type in your tracking number, this could have several reasons.

“When The Shipment Arrived In The Destination Country The Tracking Didn’t Update Anymore!”

When the package arrives  in the destination country, it will be processed by the postal service of the country. For example, when it’s in the US, it will be processed by USPS. In Australia, is Australia Post, whereas in the UK your package is being processed by Royal Mail, and in Canada by  Canada Post respectively. 

“I Don’t Get Any Results From Your Tracking Software!”

If you do not get any results when typing in your China Post Tracking number, this may have several reasons.

  • You may have typed in the wrong tracking number.  You should make sure that you have typed the correct number.
  • The tracking information usually needs 1-2 days until it finally shows up in the system. Wait another day or two and check again. If you still don’t get any tracking information contact the seller.

Also be sure to check our dedicated FAQ regarding problems with tracking numbers in general. Our FAQ covers 99% of all problems with tracking numbers. 

“My Package Is Already On Its Ways For 1/2/3 Months, Will It Ever Arrive?”

China Post is a very reliable postal service and most packages will arrive eventually. Anyhow, packages needing more than 2 months to arrive are not unheard of. It strongly depends on the sellers location and the type of shipment used, with cheaper options taking way longer than the more expensive shipping options. 

Experience Problems With Your Package? This Is How You Contact China Post

You can contact China Post via phone, dialing [+86]10-11185. Though it is suggested you either go to your local China Post office directly, if you are located in China, or write an Email as this way is considered to be more reliable than calling.
