FAQs About China Post Parcel Tracking
What is China Post and what services do they offer?
China Post is the national postal service of China, operated by China Post Group. They handle a massive share of cross-border e-commerce shipments — most AliExpress, Shein, and Temu orders touch China Post at some point. Main services: ePacket (the popular low-cost cross-border option for e-commerce, 7–20 days to most major countries), International EMS (5–15 days, faster premium service), International Registered Air Mail (with delivery confirmation), and Surface Mail (slower, cheaper, for non-urgent shipments). Domestically within China they cover every province and remote region.
How can I track a China Post package on Parcel Monitor?
Punch in your China Post tracking number and Parcel Monitor takes over from there. We pull live updates straight from China Post's system plus the destination postal carrier — so you see the whole journey, not just the China leg. Use the web or grab the app on iOS and Android. No account needed for basic tracking. Want it even simpler? Connect your Gmail and we'll pull China Post tracking numbers from your AliExpress, Shein, or Temu shipping emails automatically. Free, always.
How do I find my China Post tracking number?
China Post tracking numbers are 13 characters long, ending in "CN" — something like LX123456789CN, RR123456789CN, or EE123456789CN. The prefix tells you the service: LX = ePacket; RR = Registered Air Mail; EE/EA/EV = EMS; CP = small packet. You'll find your number in the shipping confirmation email or SMS from the seller — for AliExpress, Shein, and Temu, check "My Orders" or "Order Details" in the app. The shortcut: connect your Gmail to Parcel Monitor and we'll grab the China Post tracking number for you automatically.
How long does China Post usually take to deliver?
Depends on the service and destination. ePacket — the most common service for cross-border e-commerce — usually takes 7–20 days to the US, UK, EU, Canada, or Australia. International EMS is faster at 5–15 days for major destinations. Registered Air Mail typically lands in 10–25 days. Surface Mail is the slowest at 30–90 days (used for bulk, non-urgent items). Customs at the destination country adds 1–5 days. Singles Day (11.11), Double Twelve (12.12), and Chinese New Year regularly add a few days to all timelines as China's logistics system slows.
Where does China Post deliver?
China Post covers all of mainland China plus 200+ countries internationally. Major destinations like the US, UK, Germany, France, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Japan, and most of Southeast Asia have well-established China Post service. For international shipments, China Post typically handles the China-side leg and then hands off to the destination country's national postal service (USPS in the US, Royal Mail in the UK, Deutsche Post in Germany, etc.) for final delivery. Some service tiers like EMS go all the way to the door.
What do common China Post tracking statuses mean?
China Post uses standard tracking statuses across its services. 'Pending' shows that the sender has created a shipping label, but China Post hasn't actually taken the parcel into its system yet. Once they do, you'll see 'In Transit,' which just means the parcel is moving — through a sort hub, a flight, or customs. 'Out for Delivery' is your favourite status: the parcel's with a local China Post courier and is on its way today. 'Delivered' speaks for itself. 'To Collect' means the parcel is waiting at a pickup point or locker for you to come and grab.
Why isn't my China Post tracking updating?
We get it, the silence is unsettling. But it's almost always normal. China Post logs scans at major facility points, so there are often long quiet stretches during the China-to-destination transit (especially with cheap services like ePacket). Customs at the destination can be silent for 3–7 days. Once your parcel hands off to the local postal service in your country, you may see new scans appear from them (USPS, Royal Mail, etc.). Singles Day, CNY, and Western holidays all slow things further. If you're a few days into silence, hang tight. If it's been more than 7–10 days with no movement, send a quick note to whoever sent the parcel. We'll keep refreshing in the background — the moment something moves, you'll see it here.
What should I do if my China Post parcel is lost?
Take a breath — most parcels that look lost actually turn up within a few days, especially cross-border shipments that move slowly. Look at the tracking together: where was the last scan, and was it still in China or had it reached your country? That tells you where to focus. Give it some grace — usually 30–45 days past the expected delivery date for ePacket and air mail — before treating it as truly lost. If it still hasn't shown up, drop a friendly message to the seller (AliExpress, Shein, Temu sellers usually have a built-in dispute system); they can file a missing-parcel claim with China Post or refund you. Keep your tracking screenshots close — they're handy. We'll keep watching the tracking here too.
What should I do if my China Post parcel is marked delivered but didn't arrive?
Don't worry, we know how stressful this is — especially if it's something you've been waiting on. The good news: the parcel almost always turns up after a quick search around the property. Start with the easy checks: take a look around your property, mailbox, and entryway — China Post hands off to your local postal service for final delivery, so the actual delivery scan comes from them (USPS, Royal Mail, etc.). Their scans sometimes show a delivery location worth checking. Ask anyone in the household, and a quick word with a neighbour can help too. "Delivered" scans occasionally land a day early, so give it 24–48 hours before going further. If it still hasn't shown up, drop a friendly message to the seller — they can investigate with the local carrier. Save your tracking screenshot. We'll keep watching.
Can I track multiple China Post parcels in one place?
Yes, that's the whole idea — every China Post parcel and every other carrier's parcel sit in one dashboard. Add tracking numbers manually, or connect your Gmail and we'll pull them from your AliExpress, Shein, Temu, and Amazon shipping emails automatically. Each parcel updates live. No cap on how many you can follow at once. Particularly handy if you're a cross-border shopper with a steady stream of orders coming from China.

China Post handles enormous volumes of cross-border e-commerce — most AliExpress, Shein, and Temu orders pass through their system. With Parcel Monitor, every China Post shipment lives on the same dashboard as anything else you're tracking. ePacket, EMS, Registered Air Mail — drop in the tracking number and we pull live updates from China Post and the destination postal service. No more wrestling with separate tracking sites.
Auto-detect China Post tracking numbers
Paste any tracking number into Parcel Monitor and we identify China Post automatically from the format (those distinctive 13 characters ending in CN).

Cross-border parcels from China often pass through multiple carriers — China Post on the China side, then your country's postal service for final delivery. Switch on push notifications in the Parcel Monitor app and you'll get pinged the moment something changes — customs cleared, handed over to local post, out for delivery, delivered. So when your AliExpress parcel finally moves after a quiet week, you'll know about it right away.
