Track

When making purchases in foreign online stores, we all somehow face the issue of tracking the postal item that delivers the purchased goods to us.

This article will address general issues related to tracking international postal items(IGO). Will be considered general principles according to which IGOs ​​are divided into traceable and non-trackable, the main stages of delivery that shipments go through. The issue of the structure of international tracking numbers assigned by IGOs ​​is considered separately.

We will also talk about average delivery times and factors that greatly affect these times. A separate section will provide information on the possibilities of tracking IGOs ​​on the websites of the state postal services of the countries of the sender and recipient, as well as the use of universal independent services for tracking.

another Additional information on these issues, as well as on the issues of customs clearance of international mail and the work of individual postal services, you can always find in the wiki section of this site.

Basic principles

Traceable and non-traceable IGOs

IGOs (international mail) are divided into two main categories:

• Parcels(over 2 kg)
• small packages(up to 2 kg)

MPOs are also divided into:

• Registered(with traceability)
• Unregistered(without traceability)

Parcels, as well as any shipments via EMS, are always registered shipments, but small packages can be either registered or unregistered.

A registered IGO in the country of departure is assigned a unique 13-digit tracking number, which can be used to control the movement of IGOs ​​from the sender to the recipient, using the tracking services of the national postal operators of these countries or independent tracking services.

The tracking number for registered small packages always starts with a letter R(Registered).

Accordingly, tracking the movement of IGOs ​​using tracking services is possible only for EMS shipments, parcels and registered small packages, provided that you know the tracking number.

Examples of tracking numbers:

• CQ123456785US - mail from the USA (package)
• RN123456785US - mail from the USA (small package)
• EE123456785US - US EMS
• RA123456785CN - mail from China
• RJ123456785GB - mail from the UK

The last 2 letters in the tracking number indicate the country in which the shipment is accepted for shipment. You can read more about the structure of the track number in the next section.

When an unregistered MPO arrives in Russia, the Russian Post assigns it an internal tracking number of the RA*********RU type. This number is the internal information of the postal operator and serves for internal accounting of incoming international mail and subsequent mutual settlements with the postal operator of the country of departure.

The recipient can find out this number only upon receipt of the IGO.

Track number structure

According to the rules of the UPU (Universal Postal Union) (standard S10), the IGO track number consists of 9 digits and 4 letters. Track number structure: XX***********XX, where X are letters and * are numbers.

Example: RA123456785GB

First two capitals letters indicate the type of mail. Here are the main ones:

• LA-LZ- unregistered IGO weighing less than 2 kg (small package). Not tracked.
• RA-RZ- registered IGO weighing less than 2 kg (small package). Tracked.
• CA-CZ- registered MGO weighing more than 2 kg (package). Tracked.
• EA-EZ- registered IGO, issued as express mail (EMS). Tracked.

Further, the track number indicates an eight-digit digital unique MPO number. According to UPU rules, it cannot be repeated for at least one year. The last (ninth) digit is a verification code calculated using a certain mathematical function from the departure number.

At the end of the track number, two uppercase Latin letters are also indicated, which abbreviated the sender's country according to the ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code standard. for example CN- China, SG- Singapore, GB- United Kingdom, DE- Germany, US- USA, etc.

2. greatly simplifies the procedure for tracking registered mail using the track number provided by the user and combines the tracking systems of postal services from 27 countries of the world. Allows you to create lists of verified track numbers, keeps statistics on the average delivery times for shipments from different countries. Allows you to predict the time of passage of the departure of one or another stage of delivery.

3. - can be installed both on a PC and on personal mobile devices. The list of supported services is more than 250 mail services. Allows you to create lists of verified track numbers. In addition, it is possible to add user data to the tracking number, which allows you to have accurate information about all the events that occur with a specific order from the moment it is paid in the store until it is delivered to the addressee.

In addition to the above, there are many other mail tracking services with different capabilities and different composition of supported mail services, so it makes little sense to list them. It stands a little apart, perhaps, which tracks China Post parcels well, but has a rather inconvenient interface and does not support many recently emerging local Chinese logistics companies.

Why tracking for a regular buyer

In this final section, I would like to say a little not only about the technical side of the issue, to which the article was devoted, but also about psychological side tracking issue. And also talk about common goals tracking.

It is quite understandable that all buyers want to receive their goods as quickly as possible and secretly hope that the goods sent, say, from China or the USA, will reach the recipient in Russia in a week. But, alas, miracles do not happen and when choosing the delivery of goods by the usual state postal service, you need to be mentally prepared to wait 3-4 weeks.

During this time, someone will check their track number just a few times to make sure that the shipment is moving, and someone will check their track number several tens or hundreds of times ... Of course, the latter is more common for online shopping beginners and their excitement even somewhere justified. But the truth lies in the fact that no matter how many times we check our track number, the package will not move faster from this! Therefore, you still should not be so paranoid about tracking issues.

In fact, tracking is a tool for controlling the physical movement of a shipment, in principle, a tool for monitoring compliance with delivery times. And the tracking data of the shipment, for example, will be very useful to you if you decide to make any claims to the postal services regarding the delivery of the shipment or the speed of delivery.

Therefore, three main purposes of tracking can be identified:

• Informational - when the recipient simply monitors the movement process and the delivery time of his shipment, receiving information from tracking systems.
• Control - when the recipient, with the help of information from tracking systems, can control the timing of the shipment at certain stages of its processing and delivery in order to correlate these deadlines with the target delivery deadlines and receive any compensation from the postal services, in case of non-compliance with these deadlines.
• Evidential - when information from tracking systems serves as evidence in possible disputes between the sender and the recipient, in case of non-receipt of the shipment or its loss (alas, this also happens sometimes)

To reduce the time for the tracking process itself, of course, it is recommended to use independent tracking services that allow you to create lists of tracked track numbers. The track number is added there once and only then you can safely watch the tracking results every 1-2 days. This greatly reduces the tracking time for all your parcels and saves your nerves.

Good luck with your shopping and fast shipping!

The online mail tracking service site will help you track the status and location of your parcel delivered by the Russian Post.

The national postal operator of the Russian Federation "Post of Russia" receives, sends and delivers mail in the territory Russian Federation and other states. In the branches of this national postal operator, the dispatch and receipt of both domestic and international parcels are processed. If parcels and postal items are sent within Russia, then the parcel is assigned a unique 14-digit identification number consisting of numbers, and for international shipments, an identification number of 13 characters (numbers and letters of the Latin alphabet) is assigned.

Both numbers comply with the S10 standard of the Universal Postal Union and both the sender and the recipient of the postal item can track the parcel on them.

Features of Russian Post parcel tracking numbers

Parcel tracking by type of shipment ZA..HK,ZA..LV (Aliexpress)

Thanks to the cooperation of the Russian Post, this type of parcel with Aliexpress is distinguished by a simplified clearance system, which allows you to make the shipment even faster and cheaper. It is worth considering that this type of delivery can only be tracked in the sender's country, when the parcel arrives in the territory, the shipment will no longer be tracked, but after the parcel arrives at the recipient's place of delivery, a similar status will appear. The approximate delivery time is 25-30 days from the date of departure.

ZJ..HK parcel tracking (JOOM)

Parcels with a number containing the letters ZJ at the beginning are parcels from the Joom online store, which also cooperates with the Russian Post. This type delivery is budgetary, and is used mainly for the delivery of cheap goods and at the same time have limited tracking functionality. The fact is that Joom parcels when tracking, they can have one of only three statuses:

• Package sent
• Parcel arrived at the branch
• Parcel received by addressee

That is, your parcel cannot be tracked at all stages of delivery, but important information that the goods have been sent or have already arrived at the post office will be known.

2. The sender provided an incorrect tracking number. In this case, you should once again check the number with the sender and copy it correctly into the tracking line on our website.

How to track a parcel from Aliexpress?

Recently, many people are starting to buy in Chinese online stores and enjoy international free shipping. And then every day they look into the mailbox in anticipation of a notification from the post office, so as not to miss it and go on time to pick up the parcel from the local post office.

Usually, after paying for an order on Aliexpress, many immediately start looking for a track number and then start to panic when they do not find it, but do not worry, the track number is not given immediately, but only after a few days, this is quite normal.
If you, for example, paid for the purchase with a card, then the payment is processed for 1-2 days, and only after that the seller receives a notification that an order has been received and the parcel needs to be packed and sent to the buyer. After the payment for the goods is confirmed, the Chinese orders it from the supplier (1-2 days) or if the goods are in stock, then sends them to you by mail within 1-2 days.

On average, it takes 2-7 days to process and send a parcel, and the track number itself starts working, that is, they usually track after 2-3 days after the parcel was sent.
So let's move on to where the track number is located on Aliexpress or where to see it, for this you need to go to home page http://ru.aliexpress.com , click on the drop-down menu and go to the My Orders section:

What to do if the track number from Aliexpress is not tracked?

If you have any problems with delivery or with a track number, you can always contact the seller and clarify all the details. Perhaps the seller mixed up the track, made a mistake when writing the track number, or simply saved money and sent the package without a track number and gave you a template, i.e. an empty track, this is all quite normal. (the seller needs to write in English or use online translator translate.ru, although there are masochists who manage to communicate with the seller in their native Chinese). Here are the main reasons why the track code may not be tracked:

• 2-3 days have not passed since the receipt of the track number, and because of this, the parcel may not be tracked

• Either you or the seller copied or rewrote the track code incorrectly, everything should be without spaces, in capital letters and 9 numbers if the parcel was sent by regular mail (China Post / China Post)

• The seller just gave you the left track code, this is also normal and allows you to save on the purchase of goods. You can easily clarify this nuance with the seller so as not to worry once again.

• Perhaps you are trying to track the parcel in the wrong place, we recommend using a special browser extension called Aliexpress Tool, which has a universal tracker for any track numbers and postal items (there is a link above)

• If for some other reason your track code is not tracked, contact the seller with this question.

Fake, false, fake postal services and services of China for allegedly tracking parcels:

On Aliexpress, when buying cheap goods up to $ 10, the seller may give an incomprehensible track number, which will be tracked only on the website of a non-existent i.e. fake postal company, and you may also be given a completely non-working track number or a left track number (sometimes they give other people's tracks i.e. other buyers who are normally tracked).

Such fake postal services essentially predict the approximate location of the package depending on the country, although sometimes the data is often taken simply from the ceiling.

Receiving, sending and receiving postal items: parcels, small packages, parcels and correspondence; provides financial and delivery services as individuals as well as business.

Russian and foreign online stores often send orders to customers using this particular postal service or integrate with its delivery to provide high-quality and inexpensive services. For example, on the basis of post offices, she organized express delivery and pick-up points, reducing the time for issuing orders in Russia to 2-5 days. Some transport companies combine their ability to transport goods with the vast resources of the national postal operator.

Tracking parcels in Russia

When registering, a postal item is assigned a tracking number, with which you can track when it was sent, the stages of movement and the date it arrived at the post office. The tracking service allows you to control the receipt of the shipment and is especially useful in resolving disputes with the seller in case of discrepancies found. The full name and address of the recipient will help to make sure that the parcel goes to its destination, and the weight of the shipment will help you to approximately estimate the contents of the attachment. The last delivery status will inform the sender about the successful delivery of the goods.

In addition to simple letters, all other shipments within Russia always go as registered. Incoming international letters and small packets can be sent as unregistered too. In these cases, it remains only to rely on the decency of the sender or seller and the absence of various excesses. In case of loss or non-delivery of the parcel without proof of non-receipt, neither the postal services nor the sellers will reimburse cash for goods and shipping.

Tracking data will also help in filing claims for non-compliance with delivery deadlines. The website of the Russian Post directly states liability for violation of these terms.

Important features of the Russian Post

Compliance with the requirements for the contents of the parcel and its packaging - required condition for a successful transfer. AT different countries these rules may vary slightly. For example, in Switzerland you cannot send horoscopes by mail. In some African countries shaving brushes of Japanese origin cannot be sent. And in the UK, a ban on sending parcels with garbage is specifically stipulated. But in general, the conditions below are typical for all postal services, including the Russian Post.

The range of goods and offers of sellers from the Aliexpress trading platform continues to amaze the imagination of buyers for more than a year, but today you will not surprise anyone by the very fact of making purchases in Chinese online stores. In Aliexpress stores you can really find everything your heart desires: clothes, shoes, electronics, toys and more at a competitive price.

Buyers have come to terms with the fact that the purchase cannot be felt or tried on, and they place an order based on the description of the seller, reviews from other buyers, and their own personal experience. After placing an order on Aliexpress, the seller registers the postal item and notifies the buyer that the parcel has been sent. It should be borne in mind that it usually takes 2-3 days to form an order, and another 3-4 days to ship. Therefore, if the seller sends you a tracking number the next day, after paying for the parcel - well, either this is an extraordinary zeal on the part of the seller, or feel free to wait a week before tracking starts.

Parcels from Aliexpress to Russia are issued according to the same rules as any other postal items. When registering a shipment, each parcel from China to Russia is assigned a unique tracking number. The order number in the case of tracking the parcel will be useless, since you can track the postal item only by this tracking number.

As a rule, tracking numbers of parcels are of two types:

• Two Latin letters, then nine digits, and finally two Latin letters indicating the sender's country. This type of tracking number indicates that this parcel from Aliexpress is registered as international departure, for which full tracking is available.
• A sequence of 11-15 digits without letters, spaces or other characters. If you received such a tracking number, then most likely your seller is trying to save on shipping. Most of these postal items can only be tracked as long as the package is in China.

Many sellers do not just send the tracking number of the package, but accompany it with a link to a resource that will help track the package from China to Russia. Often the attached links lead to sites that contain information exclusively on Chinese. There is another point: the seller does not always inform in advance whether delivery involves full path Aliexpress parcel tracking. Some postal items can only be tracked within China. Therefore, if you see that your package from Aliexpress is “stuck” somewhere at the border, this means that for such a postal item, tracking is possible only in the country of the sender.

The choice of the method of forwarding is connected precisely with the desire to save low price. After all, often the cost of the goods itself is less than the cost of delivery. Therefore, almost all sellers, with rare exceptions, offer their customers free shipping. Most often, such a delivery is carried out by the national postal operator of China - the company. Parcels sent by China Post go from China to Russia on average from 20 to 30 days. Tracking for such parcels is available with an international tracking number, which looks like this: two Latin letters - nine digits - the letters CN (China Post).

Due to the heavy workload of China Post, sellers often resort to the services of other postal services. For example, in recent times the demand for logistics services is growing. The workload of this postal service is less than that of, therefore, the parcels go faster. Such delivery is rarely completely free, but it guarantees the safety of your postal mailing. For Hong Kong Post parcels, tracking is possible using a tracking number of the form CX (or RX, depending on the weight of the shipment) 123456789HK.

The seller can send the parcel with Aliexpress and other lesser known postal services. Your package from China to Russia can easily be delivered, for example, via or.
