In this entry we try to give data, how to keep track of the shipments of our purchases
Chinese. The truth is that many times, from the store itself where we buy them, we provide some tracking links, which do not work. And that despairs. We all impatient to know whether our package landed or not. That is why we care about it and we constantly check it. One of the curiosities is that each store uses a type of shipping service, although the user also has the possibility to request different types.
Here we inform you how to know, by the type of tracking code, what type of shipment was used, and also the links where to request a tracking report, to know where the package is.
CHINA POST
The China Post Register Airmail packages are Aereo or Maritime parcels (SAL PARCEL) according to the user’s choice and / or total weight of the goods, since there are a few maximum airs per air. It is an economical and slow shipping service. The air usually takes about 2 to 4 weeks to reach destination country from China, and the Maritime might take a little longer.
It is very important to know that China Post also makes shipments by sea, called SAL PARCEL. These shipments are sent in containers, take much longer and the guarantee of claim in case of loss, can be delayed to 90 days. So I do not recommend this type of shipment in any way. The air shipments can not exceed a certain weight, then you will be sent to us by sea. I prefer to make two shipments and enter the type of airmail without a doubt.
