China Air Mail Tracking????
 

where can you track Air Mail?

i got a tracking number but no idea where to track it

Remember with some parcels you can't track straight away - some take a few days for information to come up.

The link below tracks loads of companies, including China Air Mail.

17track.net is the most powerful tracking system of registered postal parcel and international express in China!

China Post tracking is notoriously unreliable. Their official site is down for days and often doesn't give results for items.

I used to be able to get results off other sites like the above but recently the only way I can track stuff is to actually go to the post office.

To be honest though it is still fairly useless. The only info that can be seen is the data for the package being tracked from post office, to sorting place, to airport and then the trail dies. :smash:

yes,the tracking details is not so good as dhl,fedex,ems,but it is cheaper ,very cheaper.If you donot need the packages too urgent,it is ok to use this shipping method.

Bought a few things using china mail again - the good thing about China Air Mail is the items never really get stopped or seized!

Just have to wait for longer delivery times.

You can see those information in your local postoffice site after the parcel reached your country. Or check it on http://intmail.183.com.cn/item/trace/itemTrace.jsp

Probably because their policy where everything is meant to be inspected before it is sent by the people in the post office.

They don't let you send anything unless it has been inspected/seen first. Which is a bit of a pain when you have wrapped up a nice birthday pressie ready to be sent and are then told it has to be opened otherwise it can't be sent! :faint:

how long does air mail usually take?

14 days give or take a couple. Pretty much 99% are within 14 days. Small minority is faster.

Unless it is to Italy :smash: it would be faster to send stuff there by tying it to a passing pigeon.

Makes sense.

what do these inspectors not allow to be sent?

You be better of using Pigeon Mail...

Arrives 10x times faster than China Mail too! ha.

Penny bidding on you pigeons Thankful...unless you eat it :eek:

I only eat them if i get low DSRs for delivery time :deadhorse:

I think it can depend on who you get. There used to be a total ruthless barsteward at the office I use and he would just say no to all my things just annoy me sometimes I think!

He has gone I'm glad to say and now the people are a bit more relaxed.

But in answer to your question:
Lighters, even if it is a zippo that is brand new and never used! Gas lighters I understand...but a zippo? Come on...!
Liquids (unless you find a way to hide them in something else ;)
Meat products - Like jerkey etc.

Those three were all for my brothers birthday. I went to the post office with them and then left 2 minutes later still with all of them! I managed to send the bottle of spirits and lighter to him later by hiding them in some cushion covers I got my Mum though :) :nono:

Batteries of any kind
Glass ware and crockery items.

Those are the things I have experience in not being allowed to send. I'm sure there's more.

the item still isnt trackable :(

Do not worry, as others have said the tracking can be very unreliable. In fact, it is so unreliable that I do not pay the extra charge for "registered airmail" over the regular airmail any longer. I had an item that I ordered ealier this year, and even now its tracking has not updated (it still has "ARRIVAL AT TRANSIT OFFICE OF EXCHANGE" as its status, which should mean that it has no even left China yet...). It arrived long ago though.

yea but how am i supposed to know if its even a real tracking number lol?

i could be waiting for nothing, thats the only reason i wanted to check it so bad

Actually - cos you are in the US you are in the very lucky position of being able to use the USPS website to track your item once it has arrived! I think the US is the only country in the world to actually use the tracking properly!

Give it a week or so from posting date and it should be in the US-from there you should be able to track it.

How long has it been? Give them a go!

its been 9 or so days

Is the tracking working or not?

no, not on USPS or any china post site.

What is the format?

Should be R then another letter then 9 numbers then CN

Ra000000000cn

Looks ok. Same as mine.

When you input it you must use capitals otherwise it wont be recognised.

i did, nothing.

still nothing, wth?

Try contacting the seller!

Was it a trusted source?

no, i already got my money back so i assume it was a scam.

it was for a high priced item that was sold lower then the seller was not a registered user a few days after i paid.

filed a claim and he put the tracking number and said CHINA POST AIR MAIL

never worked and paypal decided in my favor, i emailed the seller about 20 times and not a single answer so im guessing it was a scam. i told him if i received the item i would pay but doesnt look like it

someone wanna check it for me on this site? everytime i enter the verification code it says its wrong

nevermind, still nothing

What's the code?

check your PM

Just an update on this thread for future people that need help tracking China Airmail / Post.

I track my items via a site called: 17track.net is the most powerful tracking system of registered postal parcel and international express in China!

Its by far the best tracking for china post, i always found it would work better of an evening (uk) for some reason. China Airmail is only tracked at the main points.

I'm sorry, I just have new experience in using China Post Air Mail. I want to ask one question, my tracking number is something like this, RF000000000SG . what is the meaning of the SG at the back of the tracking number? like some have word CN at the back. what does this word mean? Sorry for my bad English :(

Welcome to the forum :)

SG should mean SINGAPORE

Was the parcel sent from that city?

:pop2:

sometimes u get 2 tracking
once in host country and then it changes at port to another number

so ask if there is 2 trackings

Re: China Air Mail Tracking????
 

China Airmail / Post is unpredictable. Sometimes comes on time, sometimes late, sometimes you don't know what happened.
