About China Post tracking

Most cheap orders from China travel by China Post. Numbers starting with L are ePacket, R is registered mail and E is EMS. Once the parcel reaches your country, your local post office takes over with the same number.

When you track here, we open the official China Post page with your number already filled in, so you always see the carrier's own latest scan.

How to track a China Post parcel

  1. Find the number. Look in the shipping email, the order page or the receipt. A China Post number looks like LK123456789CN.
  2. Paste it above. China Post is selected for you on this page. Spaces and dashes are removed.
  3. Read the status. Check the latest scan and the history. If nothing has changed for a while, see the tips below.

China Post tracking status meanings

  • Label created / Shipment information receivedThe sender made a label and told the carrier a parcel is coming. The carrier does not have the parcel yet. Wait one to two days for the first scan. If nothing changes after three working days, ask the sender whether it was handed over.
  • In transitThe parcel is moving through the carrier network, by truck, plane or both. Gaps of a day or two between scans are normal, longer for international parcels.
  • Held at customs / Customs clearanceThe destination country is checking the parcel. Duties, taxes or documents may be needed. Watch for a message from the carrier about payment. Only pay through the carrier's official website.
  • Out for deliveryThe parcel is on the delivery vehicle today. Keep your phone on and someone at the address if possible.
  • Delivery attemptedThe driver came but could not deliver, for example nobody was home or access was blocked. Check the card or message left, then rebook delivery or collect it.
  • Exception / DelayedSomething stopped the normal route: weather, an address problem, damage or a missed connection. Most exceptions clear on their own within a day or two. Contact the carrier if nothing changes in 48 hours.
  • DeliveredThe carrier recorded the parcel as handed over or left at the address. If you cannot find it, check safe places and neighbours, then contact the sender within 24 hours.
