China Post is a popular postal service used by many online stores in China to ship products domestically and internationally. Two common shipping options offered by China Post are China Post Air Mail and China Post Small Packet.

China Post Air Mail is a fast and reliable way to ship packages internationally, with delivery times usually ranging from 10 to 20 days. It comes with a tracking number that can be used to track the package online.

China Post Small Packet is a more affordable shipping option that is suitable for small and lightweight items. This shipping method does not offer online tracking, but customers can check the shipping status by contacting the seller.

China Post tracking numbers typically have a format of 13 alphanumeric characters, with the first two letters indicating the type of package and the last two letters representing the country code. For example, a tracking number that starts with "CP" indicates that the package is being shipped by China Post, while a tracking number that ends with "US" indicates that the package is being shipped to the United States.

Delivery times for international shipments can vary depending on the destination country and customs processing times. Customers should be prepared for possible delays and check with the seller for estimated delivery times.

Overall, China Post is a reliable and cost-effective option for international shipping, with options to fit various needs and budgets.

China Post Group Corporation is a state-owned postal company that provides domestic and international mail delivery services, issuing of stamps, e-business, and other postal agency businesses allowed by the Chinese government. It is the official postal service of China, operated by the State Post Bureau of the People's Republic of China. While other postal services such as TNT, DHL, Federal Express, and UPS are also available, China Post is the most economical option for international shipping, despite being the slowest.

If you order an item from a Chinese supplier, you can choose any available postal service, but China Post is a cost-effective option. However, transit times are subject to change due to factors such as bad weather, customs checks, invalid address or number, among others. Thus, actual delivery times are usually longer than the promised delivery times.

Tracking China Post Unregistered

Unregistered packages sent via China Post usually consist of 13 alphanumeric characters that start with the letter U, such as UG533473760CN. These packages can only be tracked while in transit through China territory. After the package is exported to the destination country, it can no longer be tracked since it is an economy delivery and not registered at transit points. The only exception to this rule is the KazPost, which is the postal service of Kazakhstan and supports tracking of unregistered mail items coming into the country.

How to change the address of the package?

Typically, it is not possible to change the recipient's address once the package has been sent. It is recommended to track the package's status and once it arrives in the destination country, contact the local carrier to request an address change.

China Post Small Packet

China Post International Small Parcel service is an economical way to ship lightweight items below 2kg from China to other countries and regions. It can be registered to track the shipment and is suitable for items that meet the size requirements of 90 cm in length, width, and depth combined, and greatest dimension less than 60cm. Small parcels are typically delivered by air, surface air lifted (SAL), or surface transport. Registered air mail is widely used in the e-commerce market and by individual customers for items such as small parts, accessories, clothes, and shoes. A small parcel is safe and can be tracked if registered.

China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus is a non-registered option with lower rates but without shipment tracking or loss compensation. Registered Mail has a higher rate, but it can be tracked online and is commonly used for electronic products, accessories, clothes, and arts and crafts sold on eBay. The service is divided into three types by transportation means: Air Parcel, Surface Air Lift (SAL), and Surface Parcel. Delivery times vary depending on the transport method, ranging from 5-10 days to other Asian countries, 7-15 days to America and Europe, and 7-30 days to other countries.

China Post Small Packet Tracking Number Format

The Shipment ID for a registered small parcel is a 13-character code starting with "R" followed by a letter and 9 digits, and ending with "CN" (e.g., RS123456789CN). In contrast, the tracking number for China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus is either 9 digits or a 13-character code starting with "U," followed by a letter and 9 digits, and ending with "CN" (e.g., 123436789, UN133456789CN).
