How to track a parcel from China
Paste the tracking number from your shipping email or receipt into the box above. The page compares it with the number formats used by China Post, SF Express, YTO Express, J&T Express, and AliExpress first, and only if none of those fit does it try every carrier it knows. Press Track (or Enter) and the carrier's own tracking page opens in a new tab with your number already filled in — the scans you see there come straight from the carrier, not from us.
If the number is not recognised, choose the carrier yourself from the list, or use “Track as international parcel”, which searches an aggregator that covers most postal services and couriers.
What each carrier's number looks like
These are format examples, not real parcels. Spaces are ignored, and upper or lower case does not matter.
| Carrier | Example format |
|---|---|
| China Post | LX123456789CN |
| SF Express | SF1234567890123 |
| YTO Express | YT1234567890123 |
| J&T Express | JT1234567890123 |
| AliExpress | LP00123456789012 |
Reading an international postal number
Registered mail, EMS and tracked small packets sent through national postal services use one shared 13-character format: two letters, nine digits, then the two-letter code of the country where the item was posted. An item posted in China ends in CN, as in RR123456785CN.
The first letter usually tells you the service — E for EMS, R for registered mail, C for parcels, and L for tracked letter-post packets. The last of the nine digits is a check digit, so one mistyped digit usually makes the whole number invalid. The same number normally keeps working after the parcel crosses the border, on the destination country's postal website.
When the tracking stops updating
The delivery times shown above (2-5 business days within China, 10-30 business days internationally) are typical ranges, not promises. International parcels often show no new scans for several days between leaving the origin country and arriving at customs in the destination; that gap is normal. If nothing changes for well beyond the upper end of the range, contact the sender first — they hold the shipping contract and can open an investigation with the carrier.
FAQs about shipping from China
Why does my AliExpress package show no updates for 1-2 weeks?▾
Cross-border parcels from China typically go silent during the export consolidation phase — the seller hands the parcel to a logistics partner who waits to fill a container before shipping. Scans usually resume once the parcel hits the destination country's customs. Two weeks of silence is normal; over four weeks warrants opening a dispute.
What's the difference between China Post and ePacket?▾
China Post is the national postal carrier. ePacket is a specific service tier within China Post (and partner couriers) for lightweight e-commerce parcels under 2kg, with end-to-end tracking and faster handoff to the destination postal service. ePacket numbers usually start with "L" and end in "CN".
Will Chinese New Year delay my shipment?▾
Yes — Chinese New Year (late January to mid-February) shuts down most factories and warehouses for 1-3 weeks, and logistics backlogs can extend delays another 2-4 weeks afterward. Sellers stop shipping new orders roughly a week before the holiday begins.
