Tracker for tracking parcels from China. Russian Post - tracking postal items by item number

To track your parcel you need to take a few simple steps.
1. Go to the main page
2. Enter the track code in the field with the heading "Track postal item"
3. Click on the "Track parcel" button located to the right of the field.
4. After a few seconds, the tracking result will be displayed.
5. Study the result, and especially carefully the latest status.
6. The predicted delivery period is displayed in the track code information.

Try it, it's not difficult ;)

If you do not understand the movements between postal companies, click on the link with the text “Group by company”, which is located under the tracking statuses.

If there are any difficulties with the statuses on English, click on the link with the text “Translate into Russian”, which is located under the tracking statuses.

Carefully read the "Track Code Information" block, there you will find estimated delivery times and other useful information.

If, when tracking, a block is displayed in a red frame with the heading “Pay Attention!”, carefully read everything that is written in it.

In these information blocks you will find 90% of the answers to all your questions.

If in the block "Pay Attention!" it is written that the track code is not tracked in the destination country, in this case, tracking the parcel becomes impossible after the parcel is sent to the destination country / after arriving at the Moscow Distribution Center / Item Arrived at Pulkovo / Arrived in Pulkovo / Left Luxembourg / Left Helsinki / Sending to the Russian Federation or after a long pause of 1 - 2 weeks, it is impossible to track the location of the parcel. No, and nowhere. Not at all =)
In this case, you need to wait for a notification from your post office.

To calculate delivery times in Russia (for example, after export, from Moscow to your city), use the "Delivery Time Calculator"

If the seller promised that the parcel would arrive in two weeks, but the parcel takes more than two weeks, this is normal, the sellers are interested in sales, and that’s why they are misleading.

If less than 7 - 14 days have passed since the receipt of the track code, and the parcel is not tracked, or the seller claims that he sent the parcel, and the status of the parcel “the item pre-advised” / “Email notification received” does not change for several days, this is normal, You can read more by following the link: .

If the status of the postal item does not change for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, this is a normal phenomenon for international postal items.

If your previous orders arrived in 2-3 weeks, and the new parcel takes more than a month, this is normal, because... parcels go on different routes, in different ways, they can wait 1 day for shipment by plane, or maybe a week.

If the parcel has left sorting center, customs, intermediate point and new statuses are absent within 7 - 20 days, do not worry, the parcel is not a courier who brings the parcel from one city to your home. In order for it to appear new status, the package must arrive, unload, scan, etc. at the next sorting point or post office, and this takes much more time than just getting from one city to another.

If you do not understand the meaning of such statuses as Reception / Export / Import / Arrived at the place of delivery, etc., you can see a breakdown of the main statuses of international mail:

If the parcel is not delivered to your post office 5 days before the end of the protection period, you have the right to open a dispute.

If, based on the above, you do not understand anything, read these instructions again, and again, until you are completely clear;)

Track

When making purchases in foreign online stores, we are all one way or another faced with the issue of tracking the postal item by which the purchased product is delivered to us.

This article will discuss general questions regarding tracking of international postal items (IPO). Will be considered general principles according to which MPOs are divided into tracked and untracked, the main stages of delivery that items go through. The issue of the structure of international tracking numbers assigned to IGOs ​​is separately considered.

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

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

Basic principlesTraceable and non-traceable IGOs

IPOs (international postal items) are divided into two main categories:

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

MPOs are also divided into:

  • Registered (Trackable)
  • Unregistered (no tracking)

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

A registered IPO in the country of departure is assigned a unique 13-digit tracking number, by which you can control the movement of the IPO from sender to 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 begins with the letter R (Registered).

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

Examples of tracking numbers:

  • CQ123456785US – postal item from the USA (parcel)
  • RN123456785US – postal item from the USA (small package)
  • EE123456785US – EMS shipping from the USA
  • RA123456785CN – postal item from China
  • RJ123456785GB – postal item from Great Britain

The last 2 letters in the tracking number indicate the country in which the item 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, Russian Post assigns it an internal tracking number of type RA*********RU. This number is internal information of the postal operator and is used for internal accounting of incoming mail. 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 IPO.

Track number structure

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

Example: RA123456785GB

The first two are capitalized latin letters indicate the type of postal item. Here are the main ones:

  • LA-LZ - unregistered MPO weighing less than 2 kg (small package). Not tracked.
  • RA-RZ - registered MPO weighing less than 2 kg (small package). Tracked.
  • CA-CZ - registered MPO weighing more than 2 kg (parcel). Tracked.
  • EA-EZ is a registered IPO, issued as an express shipment (EMS). Tracked.

Next, the track number indicates an eight-digit digital unique IPO 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 of the item number.

At the end of the track number, two capital Latin letters are also indicated, which abbreviated the country of the sender according to the ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code standard. For example, CN - China, SG - Singapore, GB - Great Britain, DE - Germany, US - USA, etc.

2. greatly simplifies the procedure for tracking registered mail items using the user-provided track number and combines tracking systems of postal services from 27 countries around the world. Allows you to create lists of verified track numbers, keeps statistics of average delivery times for items from different countries. Allows you to predict the time it takes for a shipment to pass through one or another stage of delivery.

3. - can be installed on both PCs and personal mobile devices. The list of supported services includes more than 250 email 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 for in the store until the moment it is delivered to the recipient.

In addition to the above, there are many other mail tracking services with different capabilities and different composition of supported mail services, so listing them special meaning No. The only thing that stands out a little apart is that it does a good job of tracking China Post parcels, but has a rather inconvenient interface and does not support many of the recently emerged local Chinese logistics companies.

Why does the average buyer need tracking?

In this final section I would like to say a little not only about technical side the issue to which the article was devoted, but also about the psychological side of the issue of tracking. 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 delivery of goods by the regular state postal service, you need to be mentally prepared for a wait of 3-4 weeks.

During this time, someone will check their track number only a few times to make sure that the shipment is moving, and someone will check their track number several dozen or hundreds of times... Of course, the latter is more typical for newcomers to online shopping 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! Therefore, you still shouldn’t be so paranoid about tracking issues.

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

Therefore, three main tracking purposes can be defined:

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

To reduce the time spent on the tracking process itself, it is of course 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 easily view the tracking results once every 1-2 days. This significantly reduces the time it takes to track all your parcels and saves you stress.

Good luck with your shopping and fast shipping!



How to track a parcel from Aliexpress? Recently, many people are starting to buy from Chinese online stores and take advantage of free international shipping. And then every day they look into mailbox while waiting for a notification from the post office, so as not to miss out and go pick up the parcel from the local post office on time.

When a package arrives at your address, the postman brings a notification piece of paper and throws it in your mailbox, but on the piece of paper they usually write that the package has arrived in your name and please go and pick it up from the post office. But not everyone knows that in 95% of cases, after sending a parcel, Chinese sellers provide a tracking code by which you can track the parcel from China and, without getting up from your couch, you can find out whether the parcel has already reached you or not.

Having a postal tracking number, you can always find out what is happening with your parcel, and in case of loss of the parcel or other misunderstandings, you can quickly ask the seller to resend the goods, return the money or receive compensation for the inconvenience. Everyone who orders goods from Ali sooner or later begins to be interested in the question How to track a parcel from Aliexpress in Russian?

What is a track number and where can I find out the tracking number of a parcel? Usually, after paying for an order on Aliexpress, many people immediately start looking for the tracking number and then begin to panic when they don’t find it, but don’t worry, the tracking number is not given immediately, but only after a few days, this is quite normal.
If, for example, you paid for a purchase by card, then the payment is processed within 1-2 days and only after that the seller receives a notification that the order has been received and the parcel needs to be packaged and sent to the buyer. After 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 it to you by mail within 1-2 days.

On average, it takes 2-7 days to process and send a parcel, and the tracking number itself begins to work, i.e. it is usually tracked after 2-3 days after the parcel is sent.
So let's move on to where the track number is on Aliexpress or where to look at it, to do this you need to go to the main page http://ru.aliexpress.com, click on the drop-down menu and go to the My Orders section:

The My Orders section looks something like the picture below, by the way, if you hover your mouse over the “Check tracking” button, a hint will appear with the location of the package (tracking information), and if you click on the “Details” button, a page with detailed information about the order, where you can view and find out your tracking number:

On the page with detailed information about the order, there is your tracking number, as well as a link to the site where you can track it (an example is shown in the screenshot below, column on the right). Most tracking numbers, Aliexpress can track automatically and shows the postal status of the parcel on the page with detailed order information (not always and sometimes with a delay):

Sometimes the tracking link provided by the seller is hidden in the text on the page detailed description order, the link is usually located a little to the right of the tracking number, there may be 1-2 columns with text, so look carefully:

Sites for tracking parcels Having a track code, tracking a parcel is not difficult; there are many free services for this. We recommend downloading a special plugin for your browser, called Aliexpress Tool, which allows you to track any postal track codes and provides quick access to the Aliexpress menu with just one click:

(Track numbers of China's international mail are supported, to which 99% of parcels are sent China Post Air Mail, Hong-Kong Post, Singapore Post, Swiss Post, EMS - this is regular mail, as well as track numbers of courier postal companies DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT, GLS, Aramex, DPD, E-Shipper, FLYT, HHEXP, SFC, XRU )

There are also regional postal services where you can track international regular mail and separately commercial postal services. The Aliexpress website has a paid and free shipping, with free delivery, the parcel is usually sent by the China Post or China Post, which can be tracked on the website http://intmail.183.com.cn/icc-itemtraceen.jsp (although it is better to enter your track at the top of the page you are reading now, there is a field for entering tracks and tracking any parcels from Aliexpress):

Then, after the parcel has left China, it will no longer be tracked on the China Post website and will then be tracked at the regional post offices of those countries through which the parcel is traveling and then at your local post office. Here are the most popular postal services of ordinary state/national postal companies where you can track your parcel when it arrives in your country:
Tracking Russian Post: https://www.pochta.ru/tracking (the parcel is tracked only when it enters the territory of the Russian Federation)

Tracking Ukrainian Post (Ukrposhta/Ukrposhta): http://ukrposhta.ua/ua/vidslidkuvati-forma-poshuku (the parcel is tracked only when it enters the territory of Ukraine)

Tracking Belarus Post (Belposhta): http://search.belpost.by/ (the parcel is tracked only when it enters the territory of the Republic of Belarus)

There are also international postal delivery services EMS (http://www.ems.com.cn/english.html) or DHL (http://www.dhl.ru/) or you can use universal postal tracking on the website http://www.17track.net/en/

What to do if the track number from Aliexpress is not tracked? If you have any problems with delivery or with the tracking 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 parcel 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 date of receipt of the tracking number and because of this the parcel may not be tracked

You or the seller incorrectly copied or rewrote the track code, everything should be without spaces, in capital letters and 9 digits if the parcel is sent by regular mail (China Post/China Post)

The seller simply 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 again.

Perhaps you are trying to track your 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, please contact the seller with this question.

Such unusual and strange track numbers are tracked only within the territory of China, after departure from the country, such a track is no longer tracked, sometimes it shows if it has arrived in the destination country.

Fake, false, counterfeit Chinese postal services and services for supposedly tracking parcels: On Aliexpress, when buying cheap goods up to $10, the seller may give an incomprehensible tracking number, which will only be tracked on the website of a non-existent, i.e., fake postal company, and you may also give 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).

These fake postal services essentially predict the approximate location of the package depending on the country, although sometimes the data is often pulled out of thin air. If you suddenly come across such fake mail, then don’t worry, this is a completely normal phenomenon on Aliexpress and parcels sent in this way arrive normally, in fact they are sent by regular China Post without a tracking number to track the parcel.

This is not possible when the transfer is sent from branches. Such branches are located in small populated areas, and do not have their own base. This main reason the fact that the shipment will take place in 2-3 days, respectively, the registration will also take place.

Immediately after it gets to the department that has its own database, it will be registered. Only after completing this procedure is a special number assigned, and then it is possible to find out the location.

Tracking international shipments

International shipments are serviced by the Russian Post International group. A young service that tries to serve clients as comfortably as possible for each of them. When sending, the sender receives a tracking number. If available, they will know where the cargo is at any stage of delivery. Abroad, delivery from this company is carried out by courier into the hands of the addressee.

Everyone can try to use the international service and feel that the world is, in fact, much closer.

Which shipments can be tracked?

Modern senders send everything, literally. It could be:

You can even send by Russian Post vehicles. But this is not the entire list of possible assortments. In addition, the person will have a declaration in his hands, with the help of which it is not a problem to find out the exact location of the cargo. And you can do this without leaving your home, as long as you have a computer and access to the Internet.

How to track a parcel by recipient's last name

You can receive and track it exclusively via TTN. We recommend checking the details with the sender. If this is not possible, and the express waybill number is lost, no need to worry! It is worth contacting the nearest department, where they will quickly restore the TTN number. To renew, a company employee will require a passport and phone number.

Track

When making purchases in foreign online stores, we are all one way or another faced with the issue of tracking the postal item by which the purchased product is delivered to us.

This article will discuss general issues related to tracking international mail items (IPO). The general principles by which IPOs are divided into tracked and untraceable, the main stages of delivery that items go through, will be discussed. The issue of the structure of international tracking numbers assigned to IGOs ​​is separately considered.

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

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

Basic principlesTraceable and non-traceable IGOs

IPOs (international postal items) are divided into two main categories:

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

MPOs are also divided into:

  • Registered (Trackable)
  • Unregistered (no tracking)

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

A registered IPO in the country of departure is assigned a unique 13-digit tracking number, by which you can control the movement of the IPO from sender to 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 begins with the letter R (Registered).

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

Examples of tracking numbers:

  • CQ123456785US – postal item from the USA (parcel)
  • RN123456785US – postal item from the USA (small package)
  • EE123456785US – EMS shipping from the USA
  • RA123456785CN – postal item from China
  • RJ123456785GB – postal item from Great Britain

The last 2 letters in the tracking number indicate the country in which the item 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, Russian Post assigns it an internal tracking number of type RA*********RU. This number is internal information of the postal operator and is used for internal accounting of incoming international mail and subsequent settlements with the postal operator of the country of departure.

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

Track number structure

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

Example: RA123456785GB

The first two capital Latin letters indicate the type of postal item. Here are the main ones:

  • LA-LZ - unregistered MPO weighing less than 2 kg (small package). Not tracked.
  • RA-RZ - registered MPO weighing less than 2 kg (small package). Tracked.
  • CA-CZ - registered MPO weighing more than 2 kg (parcel). Tracked.
  • EA-EZ is a registered IPO, issued as an express shipment (EMS). Tracked.

Next, the track number indicates an eight-digit digital unique IPO 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 of the item number.

At the end of the track number, two capital Latin letters are also indicated, which abbreviated the country of the sender according to the ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code standard. For example, CN - China, SG - Singapore, GB - Great Britain, DE - Germany, US - USA, etc.

2. greatly simplifies the procedure for tracking registered mail items using the user-provided track number and combines tracking systems of postal services from 27 countries around the world. Allows you to create lists of verifiable track numbers and keeps statistics on average delivery times for items from different countries. Allows you to predict the time it takes for a shipment to pass through one or another stage of delivery.

3. - can be installed on both PCs and personal mobile devices. The list of supported services includes more than 250 email 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 for in the store until the moment it is delivered to the recipient.

In addition to the above, there are many other mail tracking services with different capabilities and different composition of supported mail services, so there is no particular point in listing them. The only thing that stands out a little apart is that it does a good job of tracking China Post parcels, but has a rather inconvenient interface and does not support many of the recently emerged local Chinese logistics companies.

Why does the average buyer need tracking?

In this final section I would like to say a little not only about the technical side of the issue, which the article was devoted to, but also about the psychological side of the issue of tracking. And also talk about the general purposes of 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 delivery of goods by the regular state postal service, you need to be mentally prepared for a wait of 3-4 weeks.

During this time, someone will check their track number only a few times to make sure that the shipment is moving, and someone will check their track number several dozen or hundreds of times... Of course, the latter is more typical for newcomers to online shopping 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! Therefore, you still shouldn’t be so paranoid about tracking issues.

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

Therefore, three main tracking purposes can be defined:

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

To reduce the time spent on the tracking process itself, it is of course 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 easily view the tracking results once every 1-2 days. This significantly reduces the time it takes to track all your parcels and saves you stress.

Good luck with your shopping and fast shipping!
