Mail has tracking. EMS tracking

How to track the movement of a parcel from abroad?

To track the movements of international postal items(MPO) has developed a mail monitoring system, the main tool of which is a unique tracking number - tracking number. This number consists of digital and alphabetic characters, and is also duplicated in the form of a barcode. Modern postal logistics terminals are equipped with barcode scanners and, when the IPO passes through such a terminal, the tracking number data is read and sent to the servers of the international postal monitoring system.

Thanks to this system, it is very easy to find out the location of the MPO. This can be done on the websites of government postal services or private logistics companies. In addition, there are convenient tracking services - trackers that combine tracking systems of many countries and private carriers.

What is a tracking number?

Tracking number is a number for tracking the movement of your cargo, provided by postal services. The tracking number is standardized by the Universal Postal Union and has a strict structure.

The standard international tracking number is XX123456789XX:

  • the first letters indicate the type of shipment, for example, CA-CZ – parcel with tracking, EA-EZ – express parcel sent by one of the international express delivery services, for example EMS, RA-RZ – small registered package with tracking, LA-LZ – small package without tracking
  • Next comes a unique eight-digit code, and the ninth digit is a verification value calculated using a special algorithm,
  • the last Latin letters indicate the country from which the parcel was sent, for example, CN - China, US - USA, DE - Germany.

Official and full information available here (PDF document, English).

To check if your tracking number is up to standard, use the form provided on the UPU website (Excel spreadsheet).

The seller provided a tracking number, but there is no movement of the parcel.

  • Information in the mail monitoring system may be delayed. The normal situation is a delay of 3-5 days.
  • The seller provided a pre-reserved number, but the package has not actually been shipped yet. Wait 3-5 days and clarify the situation with the seller.

I just paid for the order, and the seller already gave me a tracking number. All this is suspicious.

There is nothing suspicious about this, because abroad there has long been a system for reserving postal items that are purchased in advance. The seller only needs to enter the addressee’s details and print out the finished form with a tracking number.

What information can I get from my tracking number?

Using the tracking number you can get the following information:

  • method of sending MPO;
  • where (export) and where (import) MPO is moving;
  • find out the stages of movement of international goods - export, intermediate delivery points, import, customs clearance, delivery to the addressee within the territory of the recipient’s country;
  • mass of MPO (not always provided);
  • Full name and the exact address recipient (usually this information is available on official trackers of postal and courier services).

Judging by the track number, the parcel is heading to another country.

  • The seller mistakenly provided the track number of another parcel or confused the numbers. Ask for clarification on this point.
  • There was a failure in the mail monitoring system. The parcel will still be delivered to its zip code and address.
  • The seller deliberately provided a different track number; the parcel might not have been sent at all, hoping for the lack of experience or inattention of the client. Chinese sellers often sin with this.

The IPO tracking number has a non-standard appearance. Why?

The standard tracking number of the form XX123456789XX is specific only to national postal operators that are members of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). There are several common reasons for receiving a non-standard tracking number:

  • The parcel was sent through large private delivery services - DHL Express, UPS, Fedex, SPSR, Meest, etc., which have their own internal standards for generating a tracking number. Typically, this number has only a numeric format and is tracked on the websites of these services or on aggregator trackers;
  • The package was sent from China via local carriers.
  • The seller made a mistake when writing the tracking number. Here you need to check with the seller that the number provided is correct;
  • the seller knowingly provided a false tracking number in order to deceive the customer. This is typical for Chinese sellers on Aliexpress. In this situation, only a dispute will help.

My order was sent through a national postal operator, but the number for international tracking not provided. Why?

Not all postal items automatically receive an international tracking number. The fact is that all MPOs are divided into “small packages” and “parcels”. A standard small package (parcel) is considered to be a shipment weighing less than 2 kg and is not assigned a tracking number. In some cases, it is possible to register such an IGO for an additional fee and receive a tracking number. MPOs weighing more than 2 kg fall into the category of parcels and are assigned a tracking number, but even in this case it does not always have an international format. Parcels are divided into regular and priority (registered). The latter have an international tracking number.

Who should provide me with the tracking number?

In the case of purchases in foreign online stores and auctions, the tracking number is provided by the seller after payment for the order.

What determines the speed of MPO delivery?

There are a lot of conditions and factors here. The main ones include:

  • choice of delivery method - regular or priority (express) mail;
  • choice of delivery operator - state postal service or private express carrier. The delivery speed of private courier services can be 3-5 times faster than using regular postal services;
  • features of the work of postal operators in a particular country. For example, USPS mail is much faster than Russian Post;
  • distance between sender and recipient;
  • depending on the time of year, weather conditions, disasters. For example, during the Christmas sales and pre-New Year rush, the flow of parcels increases sharply and postal operators do not have time to process all parcels on time. This leads to delays.

When exactly will I receive my parcel?

There is no exact answer to this question. In this case, it is much more accurate to use the concept of expected delivery time. The website of each national postal operator contains information about the average delivery time by one method or another to a specific country. Stores also provide this information when choosing a delivery method.

The situation is clearer with courier carriers - DHL Express, UPS, Fedex, SPSR, etc. In 80% of cases, delivery is carried out the same day or within the next 3 days (if there are no problems at customs).

Delivery times for standard MPOs to Russia from the USA and European countries vary within the following time limits:

  • EMS shipments - 7–14 days.
  • Registered parcels and parcels - 14–30 days (depending on the distance from key centers of international postal exchange).
  • Simple packages and parcels - 18–40 days.
  • Average delivery time for parcels and packages from China and other countries South-East Asia is about 21–40 days.

I was sent a parcel weighing 1 kg (for example), but according to the track number in Russia, the weight became 0 (or much less than 1 kg). What is this connected with?

This is a very common situation when, after exporting to Russia, the parcel “loses weight” down to 0 grams. It’s just that some sorters are too lazy to weigh each MPO and enter this data into the tracking system.

The second option is sadder. If at any stage of delivery or customs clearance The parcel has suddenly lost weight, this may indicate theft of the attachment. This is a direct reason to insist on opening the parcel at the post office upon receipt. A parcel with a difference in weight must have a corresponding certificate.

The DHL Express, UPS, Fedex parcel was detained at Russian customs (sent to the store). For what reason?

The most common reason is exceeding the investment value limit for courier MPOs, which for Russians is 200 euros. You can read more about the features of courier services in our articles:

Also, some courier services arrange delivery only in big cities Russian Federation and, if you are a resident small town in the periphery and are not able to come to the company’s office, the parcel will be sent back.

My package ended up in another country. What should I do?

There are two possible reasons for this:

  • The parcel is delivered in transit through third countries and the final destination has not changed. There is no need to worry, this is normal practice. Especially when delivered by courier services.
  • The seller mixed up the tracking numbers or entered the delivery address incorrectly. This happens extremely rarely and the problem should be resolved directly with the seller.

Delivery from China (Aliexpress and other stores) via Swiss Post and Sweden Post

IN Lately Many sellers on Aliexpress offer a choice of delivery via Swiss and Swedish postal operators. For many, this raises a logical question - what do China and Swiss Post have to do with it?! The point here is that Swiss Post and Sweden Post have representative offices in China and deliver parcels from the Middle Kingdom with a transit point in Switzerland and Sweden, respectively. The Chinese began to use the services of European carriers due to serious bans on the shipment of Li-Ion batteries by China, Hong Kong and Singapore Post. Delivery scheme: Singapore - Switzerland/Sweden - Russia (other countries). The track number for such shipments is RXXXXXXXXXXCH for Swiss Post and RXXXXXXXXXXSE for Sweden Post.

If your package has received the “Import Security Scan” status, there are three options:

  • What does the “Import Customs Scan” status mean?

    If your package has received the “Import Customs Scan” status, there are three options:

  • If the package was originally sent from China and the LOCATION column shows a city in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, etc., it means the package was sent back to China from overseas.

    What does the status “Success find: 0 items!” mean? or " China Post has not received the parcel”?

    If you tracked the parcel by tracking number and the status of the parcel is “China post has not received the parcel” or “Success find: 0 items!” (“Result - 0 parcels”), this means that the seller (supplier) gave you a non-existent (invalid) tracking number, which is not assigned to any sent parcels in the China Post database.

    There may be several reasons:

  • The tracking number is incorrect.
  • Less than 48 hours have passed since the seller sent the goods, China Post has not yet updated the information about the parcels.
  • The seller has not shipped the items for some reason, such as “out of stock,” but plans to ship them later.
  • To understand what we're talking about in the three points above, you need to know how the parcel tracking system works by number:
    China Post can easily attach a label with a non-existent number to any package. The tracking number is invalid and the parcel cannot be tracked until China Post assigns the tracking number to it. Payment system Paypal, ebay and Aliexpress sometimes receive non-existent tracking numbers from many scammers who send these numbers to fill out payment information. Many marketplaces such as ebay or Aliexpress require the seller to ship the order within 24 hours of payment, so some sellers may provide a non-existent tracking number to avoid penalties. Later, when the seller restocks the goods, he uses the same tracking number to ship the goods, and using this number it will be possible to track the parcel on the website within 48 hours after the actual date of dispatch.

    What should I do if the status of my parcel is “Success find: 0 items!” or “China Post has not received the parcel”?

    • If you received the tracking number within 48 hours after shipment, you may need to wait two more days until the China Post database is updated.
    • If you received a tracking number more than two days ago, you may need to contact the seller and check with them for the real shipping date and real parcel number. Tell the seller that you want to track the package using the number on the website within 48 hours after shipment, otherwise you will file a claim. Typically, the seller provides a new tracking number, actual shipping date, or planned shipping date, which can be checked later on the website.
    • If the seller again gives you incorrect shipping information or doesn't respond at all, you should file a claim with ebay, Aliexpress or Paypal and ask for a refund. You can also leave negative feedback about the scammer after your refund.

    What does the “Export Security Scan” status mean? How long will it take?

    What does the “Export Customs Scan” status mean? How long will it take?

    “Export Customs Scan” means that the package is ready for customs inspection. Once the customs check is completed, the parcel will be sent by airmail.

    What does the status “Arrival at inward office of exchange” mean?

    “Arrival at inward office of exchange” means that the parcel has been delivered to the customs office of the destination country. As soon as customs clearance of a parcel received from abroad is completed, the parcel will be delivered to the recipient postal service destination countries.

    What does the status “Departure from outward office of exchange” mean? How long will it take?

    What do the statuses “NULL”,”PEK NULL”,”PVG NULL”,”Opening” mean?

    Some users, after searching on other sites, see that the parcel status is “NULL”,”PEK NULL”,”PVG NULL” (“PVG NULL”) or “Opening” ) etc. In fact, these strange statuses are errors resulting from incorrect translation of the China Post database.

    How to file a claim and request a refund for an incorrect parcel number and a parcel that was not received?

    Many recipients whose parcels are delivered by China Post often ask the following questions:

  • The tracker site informs that the parcel was returned to the seller, but he does not confirm receipt of the return and refuses to return the money, how can I get the money back?
  • The tracker shows that the package was returned to the supplier, or displays the status “unsuccessful delivery”. How can I get a refund from China Post?
  • The parcel status has not changed for more than 40 days, I still have not received the parcel, can I contact the seller or China Post about a refund?
  • The answers to these questions are almost the same:
    China Post does not deal directly with the recipient. China Post accepts inquiries and claims only from the supplier who has an original receipt for acceptance of the goods for transportation.
    So, it is better for the recipient to use the mechanisms provided by ebay, aliexpress, paypal and file a claim for non-receipt of the parcel as quickly as possible.

    Once you have filed a claim, the seller must confirm that the package was successfully delivered to the buyer. If he/she cannot provide such confirmation, the money will be automatically returned to the buyer.

    How to file such a claim for non-receipt of a parcel?
    On ebay, paypal and aliexpress there is a link to a web page called a "dispute resolution center" or "claims center". You can file a claim for non-receipt of your parcel there. All detailed guides you will find on the site:

    Is there a period when I can file a claim for non-receipt of a parcel?
    YES. On ebay and paypal you need to file a claim within 45 days of payment. On aliexpress this period is 60 days.

    What if I missed the claim deadline but still want a refund?
    If you missed the deadline for filing a claim, the only thing you can do is contact the seller. Large sellers with big amount positive reviews will most likely offer an option that suits you in exchange for positive feedback. This will increase sales in their store.

    What if I purchase items from a site that does not have a "claims center" and I did not pay through PayPal?
    Unfortunately, in this case it will not be easy for you to get your money back, often impossible. Therefore, we advise you to buy goods from Chinese sellers on large trading platforms such as ebay, Aliexpress, Amazon, DX, etc., with high level protection of buyers' rights.

    If you buy goods on little-known sites, try to pay for purchases through Paypal. NEVER use bank transfers, money transfer systems such as Moneygram or Western Union, electronic currencies such as bitcoin for paying for goods, even if you make purchases on well-known sites - ebay or Aliexpress, but from unfamiliar sellers.

    If a problem does occur and you paid for the purchase with a payment card, you can contact the bank and use the chargeback procedure. The procedure is described in the article:

    When receiving and sending parcels and letters through traditional post offices, many would probably dream of using a faster delivery service. And it already exists. These are EMS items from Russian Post. Let's look at what it is, how to use the service, and also get answers to popular questions from recipients.

    "EMS Russian Post": what is it?

    "EMS Russian Post" is an operator subsidiary of the FSUE "Russian Post". It is a full member of Express Mail Service (EMS), an organization that unites similar express mail operators from 192 countries. Such an association was created within the framework of the Universal Postal Union.

    The peculiarity of forwarding is door-to-door delivery, both within one city, region, country, and world. The courier picks up your shipment at any place convenient for you and delivers it to the addressee at any address. Tracking of EMS shipments of Russian Post is registered, i.e. is carried out using the tracking number provided in the receipt. In those cities where there is no courier delivery service, the addressee can receive the parcel at the post office.
