Postal tracking: RU220533145HK. What do parcel statuses mean when tracking? Item is ready to ship

21

I don't see much point in knowing detailed description one or another postal status. The meaning of most of them is clear from the name, the meaning of others is not so important (again, for me).

However, many users want to understand what the parcel statuses they see when tracking mean. So I will give a description of the most frequent and popular statuses that you can find on various trackers.

Delivery to the addressee / Delivery to the recipient

The parcel has been received by the addressee (at the post office or delivered by courier)

Flew to destination country

The parcel will be delivered to the post office of the destination country. Next, it will be delivered to one of the places of international postal exchange for subsequent import/export operations.

Departed from the airport

The parcel has departed from the airport of the sender's country and is heading to the destination country. The status will not change immediately upon arrival at the airport of the destination country, but after the parcel is processed by the postal service. This may take from 3 to 10 days.

The parcel has departed from the airport of the sender's country and is heading to the destination country.

After the parcel leaves the territory of the sender's country and arrives at the destination country, it will be assigned a new track code, which is not registered anywhere. Accordingly, the parcel will not be tracked.

Issued by customs

The customs clearance procedure has been completed, and in the near future the parcel will be handed over to the post office of the destination country for further delivery.

Ready for shipment

Ready to ship

Means that the parcel is packed, marked and will be sent soon.

Detained by customs

This operation means that the parcel is detained by customs officers to carry out measures to determine the destination of the parcel.

Upon receipt in international postal items during calendar month goods whose customs value exceeds 1000 euros, and (or) total weight which exceeds 31 kilograms, in part of such excess it is necessary to pay customs duties and taxes using a flat rate of 30% of the customs value of goods, but not less than 4 euros per 1 kilogram of their weight. If information about the goods sent to the MPO is missing or does not correspond to the actual information, this significantly increases the time spent on processing shipments, since there is a need to conduct a customs inspection and document its results.

Submission

The parcel was sent to the wrong zip code or address, an error was discovered and it was redirected to the correct address.

Import international mail

The operation of receiving the item in the recipient's country.

All mail entering the territory Russian Federation from flights, begins the journey at the aviation post office (AOPP) - a special postal warehouse at the airport. Within 4–6 hours, shipments from the aircraft arrive at the AOPP, the containers are registered, and their integrity and weight are checked. Mail is registered in electronic database data. During registration, the barcode is scanned, data is entered on where the container is addressed (for example, MMPO Moscow), from which flight it arrived, about the country and date of formation of the container, etc. The time of these operations can be increased from 1 to 7x days due to the limited capacity of the AOPP.

The next operation after export from the country of origin, which is reflected on the website when tracking the shipment, is import into the destination country. Import information appears after the shipment is transferred by the carrier to the postal operator of the destination country. Operation “Import” means that the shipment arrived on the territory of Russia and was registered. International shipments arrive in Russia through the international postal exchange place (IMPO). There are several MMPOs in Russia: in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Orenburg, Samara, Petrozavodsk, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Bryansk. The choice of city where exactly the international shipment will arrive depends on the sender’s country. The choice depends on the availability of regular flights and free carrying capacity in a particular direction.

Unsuccessful attempt of delivery

Assigned if the operator reported that there was an attempt to deliver the parcel to the addressee, but for some reason it failed.

Options for further action:

  • New delivery attempt
  • The parcel will be transferred for storage until demand or until the circumstances are clarified.
  • Return to sender

What to do if you receive this status:

  • You need to contact your post office and find out the reason for non-delivery.

Reception from sender

This means that the overseas sender (seller) has brought your parcel to the local post office. At the same time, he filled out all the necessary documents, including the customs declaration (forms CN 22 or CN 23). At this time, the shipment is assigned a unique postal identifier - a special bar code (Track number, Track code). It is located on the check (or receipt) issued upon acceptance of the parcel. The “Reception” operation shows the place, date and country of receipt of the item. After acceptance, the parcel moves on its way to the place of international exchange.

In the sender's country The parcel was handed over to the customs service of the sending state for inspection and other customs procedures. If the parcel passes the customs check successfully, it will be sent to the destination country.

In the recipient's country The status means that the shipment has been transferred to the Federal Customs Service (FCS) for clearance.

This operation means that customs has checked the item and returned it to the Postal Service. In many MMPOs, customs works around the clock: this is the only way to check the colossal volume of mail incoming from abroad in a timely manner. Each customs officer is assisted by two postal operators.

Transit

Transportation

Transportation of a parcel from one sorting center to another, towards the recipient.

Package

This means that the parcel is being packed and marked for further shipment.

The parcel was handed over to the customs service of the sending state for inspection and other customs procedures. If the parcel passes the customs check successfully, it will be sent to the destination country.

Export (packaging)

The parcel has successfully passed inspection, is packed and ready to be sent to the destination country.

Export international mail

Indicates the actual dispatch of the parcel to the destination country.

The “Export” status includes the transfer of the parcel to a foreign carrier, which, by land or air transportation, transports it to the MMPO of the destination country. As a rule, this status is the longest and the transition to “Import” may take some time. This happens due to the characteristics of flight routes and the formation of the optimal weight for transporting it by plane. For example, shipments from China may be delayed due to the fact that cargo planes can carry at least 50 - 100 tons. On average, an export operation takes from 7 to 14 days, but sometimes this operation can take up to 60 days.

If the shipment is in the “Export” status, then it is impossible to track it (find out what exactly is happening to it); only at the import stage will you be able to see your package and monitor its further movement. The use of transit transportation and certain restrictions often delay shipments. However, if your parcel was sent more than 3 months ago, but has not received the “Import” status, then the sender needs to contact the post office and apply for a search.

As a rule, from the moment of registration until the actual delivery of the parcel, it can take from 1 to 7 days. After the parcel is transferred, the status will change to “Reception” or similar.

What do postage statuses mean in English?

Both on Aliexpress and on popular trackers, all postal statuses are translated into Russian. So you won’t come across statuses in English often. And yet, I decided to add here a translation and transcript of the most popular of them.

Firstly, you can run into them when tracking the track number directly on the website of one of the foreign delivery services, where there is simply no Russian language.

Secondly, machine translation of some statuses does not add clarity to the word at all.

So I think the information presented below will be useful to someone. I also note that different delivery services use different names for essentially the same actions. Therefore, some statuses will be translated the same way so as not to create confusion.

Order information received by carrier

The parcel information has been received by the carrier.

The same as - Information about the postal item has been received, information about the order/parcel has been received. This status means that your parcel has been registered by the carrier and has been assigned a tracking number. However, the parcel itself has not yet been sent.

hand over to carrier of destination country

Handed over to the carrier of the destination country.

Indicates that the package has arrived in the destination country and has been handed over to the local carrier, courier or postal service.

arrive at destination country

Arrived in destination country.

This status means that the parcel has arrived in the customer’s country. Next, it awaits customs clearance and transfer to a local carrier. It is worth noting that many small orders are no longer tracked at this stage.

despatch from sorting center

Dispatched from the sorting center.

Same as Left the sorting center. During the delivery process, you may encounter this statute several times, since parcels are sorted both in the country of departure and in the country of destination.

arrival at delivery office

Arrived at the office/delivery point.

Indicates that your order has arrived at your local post office or courier service office. You will soon receive a notification or a courier will contact you.

arrival at sorting center

Arrival at the sorting center.

Sometimes trackers associate this status with the “Arrived at the waypoint” status. The process of sorting parcels usually takes 1-2 days, after which they continue on their way to their destination.

arrived at the destination postal office

Arrived at the destination post office.

Same as arrival at delivery office. This means that your parcel has been delivered to the nearest post office and you will be able to pick it up soon.

export of international mail

Export from the country of origin.

Some trackers translate this status literally - “International mail export.” It means that your package has left the country of origin and is heading to you.

released from customs

Left customs / Released by customs.

Your order has successfully passed all the necessary checks and customs clearance procedures and moved on.

left the place of international exchange

Left the international exchange site.

Also associated with the “Left waypoint” status. During the delivery process, this status may occur several times.

airline departure from original country

Left the country of departure (Air delivery).

Means that your order has left the country of origin by airmail.

already received the electronic information export

Parcel information received - export.

Means that the carrier has completed registration and processing of the postal item and the process of export to the destination country has begun.

international shipment release export

International shipment of goods - export.

The postal item was successfully exported from the country.

the parcel arrived at the transit center

The parcel has arrived at the transit center.

Also associated with the status “Arrived at the intermediate point”.

depart from transit country or district

Left the transit country.

This means that the parcel was not delivered directly to the destination country, but through one of the “transit countries” (usually European countries). There she also went through all the necessary customs procedures and was sent to the destination country.

airline arrive at destination country

Arrived in the country of destination - air delivery.

This means that the parcel has arrived in your country.

attempted delivery

Delivery attempt.

If you see this status, then in fact the courier should have already contacted you and agreed on a delivery time. If no one has contacted you, the status will soon change to “Unsuccessful delivery attempt.” In this case, you should contact the courier service office and explain the situation.

Most likely, they simply couldn’t get through to you.

import of international mail

Import to destination country.

Indicates that your order has crossed the border of the destination country.

Very often people on the site ask what this or that parcel status means. And since they ask, then we need to figure it out.

Postal status and order status on Aliexpress are two different things!

This article will discuss about postal statuses , we also have an article. These are different things. The order status is tracked in your . And reflects information about the parcel within the Aliexpress trading platform. And the status of the parcel is tracked in postal services (Russian Post, China Post, etc.). Don't be confused.

Not all orders can be tracked

Please note that not every parcel can be tracked while moving from the seller to you. This is only possible if it has a trackable track. But how can you find out about this BEFORE ordering?

In the case of Aliexpress - open , then click on Delivery

And after clicking, you will see a menu with information about delivery methods. The last column will display information about the availability of the track (Delivery Information).

If this field says Not available, then your order will not have a track when you select this delivery, the parcel will not be tracked and you will not be able to find out the current postal status of the parcel.

How to track a parcel from Aliexpress

If this is your first time tracking a parcel and your package is from Aliexpress, then read our article. If your parcel is not tracked at all, then read.

Please note that the article describes the most common statuses. In fact, there are many more of them, but other parcel statuses are much less common. And yet, for some private courier companies, especially in China, the same statuses can be designated by different words. If you have a status that is not described in this article, ask in the comments, we’ll try to figure it out. Be sure to indicate where you saw this status!

Parcel statuses in the country of departure (for example in China)

While the parcel is in the country of departure, it may have the following statuses:

  • Collection, Acceptance – the parcel was delivered to the post office. It is worth keeping in mind that the parcel does not immediately begin to be tracked using the tracking number given to you by the seller. It takes some time to process the parcel and enter it into the database. Usually the track begins to be tracked within 10 days.
  • Opening (The parcel has arrived at the transit point) . Usually the postal code of the transit point is written next to this status. There can be many such statuses. Moreover, their order is not always correct. Probably transit point operators do not fill in the data right away. Therefore, one should not be surprised at the Opening status after Export.
  • Arrival at MMPO (Dispatching, Processing) . In this status, the parcel is being prepared for export and shipment to the destination country. For some transport companies in China, this is the last status that is tracked.
  • Export (Departure from outward office of exchange, Total Export) – means that the parcel has passed all the necessary procedures and has been sent to the destination country.

After the last status, it may take quite a long time until the parcel begins to be tracked in the destination country. If the parcel was sent without an international track, it may no longer be tracked at all.

Parcel statuses in the destination country (for example, Russia)

  • Import (Import) – the parcel has arrived in the destination country. It is processed for transfer to customs.
  • Reception at customs – transfer to customs for clearance.
  • Customs clearance. Customs release – the parcel has passed all the necessary customs clearance and is being prepared for release from MMPO
  • Left the place of international exchange of MMPO – the parcel left customs and was handed over to the post office for further dispatch.
  • Left the sorting center – the parcel is sorted and sent to its destination.
  • Came to the place of delivery – the parcel has arrived at the post office. In principle, you can already receive it. Or wait for a notification.
  • Product Delivered – the parcel has ALREADY been delivered to the recipient.

Please note that in the parcel tracking interface at Russian Post, for import, the addressee's index is indicated. Sometimes, in case of an error or a fake track, it may be clear that the parcel is not going to your post office. If the package has changed several statuses, but the index is still incorrect, then you should start worrying.

Unpleasant parcel statuses

The parcel statuses described above are quite standard. They mean the package is on its way. Sometimes the package may get stuck on statuses, sometimes miss some, but, in most cases, everything is fine. However, there are statuses that clearly mean problems:

  • Return. Other circumstances - means that there is something wrong with your package. And it is returned to the sender. What is wrong needs to be clarified. It's best to start with the Russian Post hotline 8-800-2005-888. After finding out the reasons and finding the culprits, you can think about what to do next.
  • Return. Return to customs - similar to the previous paragraph. Usually means that the address is not written legibly.
  • Unsuccessful attempt of delivery - usually accompanied by clarification about the reasons for failure. Inaccurate address, Incomplete address, Addressee dropped out, etc. In this situation, the main thing is to get to the post office before the parcel storage time expires - that’s 30 days. Also check whether the parcel arrived at the post office at all. Well, sometimes at the post office such statuses are given from a flashlight. But it's worth monitoring.
  • Return. Expiration date – obviously, you forgot to receive the parcel on time and it was returned.
  • Dosyl. Submission – the parcel arrived at the wrong post office and was redirected. That is, the parcel travels further. That is, this is not a problem, but you need to control the situation.

What do the letters at the end of the status mean (PEK, CAN, etc.)

These letters are often visible when tracking the status of a package at China Air Post. They indicate the IATA airport designations where the parcel was registered. Their designations can be seen on any air ticket purchasing service (SkyScanner for example;)).

What does NULL status mean (NULL, PEK)

This status is visible when tracking the status of the parcel at China Post. These are just internal China Post statuses that they haven't translated into English. Therefore, where there should be a translation, it is not there, but instead NULL. If you can’t bear to find out what this status is, switch to the Chinese version of the service, copy the status in hieroglyphs and translate it with Google Translator. True, this method does not always work. Sometimes in the Chinese version some statuses simply do not exist.

NULL, PEK means that the parcel was at Beijing airport. What she did there can be found in the Chinese version of China Air Post.

What does item arrived at OE in tne destination country mean?

OE - office of exchange - MMPO, Place of International Postal Exchange. This is a normal status, which means the parcel has arrived at customs and is undergoing customs clearance.

The track (package status) has stopped changing, the parcel is not tracked

Very often, restless buyers begin to worry when the status of the parcel suddenly stops changing. This often happens after export. It seems that just recently the parcel was briskly moving around China, changing statuses almost every day, and suddenly, after some Export of international mail, Arrived to destination country and the like track, the parcel stops moving..

If you recognize your situation, we have discussed this situation in detail in the article. In short, there are two options:

  • If your track is international and is successfully tracked on the official website of your state mail (Russian Post, UkrPoshta, Belposhta) and more than 2-3 weeks have passed since the last status update, then well, your fears are not without reason.
  • If your track has never been tracked on the mail website. You checked the status of the parcel in your Aliexpress personal account or some specialized track checking site, or the track format is generally clearly different from the international one (the correct international one is something like this RR123456789CN). This track often changes during export if the parcel is transferred to your state post office. That is, in your country such a parcel travels under a different track (which you do not know, and, as a rule, cannot find out). Well, the old track remains in the latest status. That is, there is nothing to worry about here at all. This situation is normal.

But be that as it may. Whether your parcel from Aliexpress is tracked or not, the main thing you should do is control the protection period and extend it if necessary or open a dispute.

Checking the seller on Aliexpress

Most problems with orders on Aliexpress can be avoided if you carefully choose a seller on Aliexpress BEFORE purchasing. There is nothing complicated about this and you can figure it out. But if time is precious and you don’t have time to figure it out, then use our service.

Finally

I have repeatedly written my personal opinion that when ordering goods from China you need to be patient. There is no need to worry if the parcel does not change its status for three days, a week, or two. This is a common occurrence. And on holidays, of which there are quite a few in China, everything stops. When ordering goods on Aliexpress, your parcels are protected. It is much more important for a successful purchase to spend more time choosing a lot and then control only the expiration date of the protection. Than monitoring the movement of a parcel 20 times a day.

And use services and programs to control the movement of parcels. There are quite a few different ones now.

P.S. from February 2018:

In the comments you often ask what this or that parcel status means. Most often, the unclear meaning of the status is associated with a crooked translation of the status issued by the Chinese carrier. Often the current status depends on the previous movement of the parcel, and it is now possible to understand what your non-standard status means now only by understanding how the parcel moved previously. Therefore, if you want to ask something about your parcel:

Write the tracking number of your parcel.

And we will ignore or delete comments like “What does XXX status mean?” Sorry, but I’m tired of copy-pasting “Write a track, we’ll see” into the void.

You can track your Hongkong Post parcel using the tracking number in Russian. Add Hongkong Post track numbers to your personal list and receive up-to-date information about the movement of your parcels.

Hong Kong Post is the government postal service of Hong Kong, providing delivery of international mail and domestic correspondence for individuals and legal entities. It also provides express postal services and delivers EMS items. Hongkong Post's EMS delivery rates will be higher, but this is justified by the high delivery speed.

As a member of the Universal Postal Union, Hong Kong Post operates in accordance with the rules of the Universal Postal Convention, which regulates international postal exchanges between participants. An essential provision of this regulation is the prohibition on the carriage of certain items; Hong Kong Post has no right to forward such parcels. These include explosive, flammable or radioactive substances, as well as other dangerous goods, counterfeit and pirated products, items of an obscene or immoral nature, etc.

Types of Hongkong Post Tracking Numbers

Hong Kong Post always assigns a tracking number to EMS shipments and parcels. Small packages may be unregistered and may not be tracked.

The Hongkong Post tracking number format is as follows:

  • RA123456785HK – for registered small packages from Hong Kong up to 2 kg, the first letter is always R, from the word Registered;
  • CD123456785HK – Hongkong Post parcel tracking number weighing up to 20 kg always begins with the letter C;
  • EE123456785HK – EMS fast delivery starts with the letter E.

In the structure of the track number, in accordance with the international UPU format, letters and numbers have a semantic meaning:

  • The first letter R/C/E indicates the type of shipment. Hongkong Post track number starting with the letter R (Registered) is assigned to registered small packages;
  • 123456785 – this digital series ensures the uniqueness of the number;
  • HK – indicates the country of the postal service.

Hongkong Post tracking

International postal tracking from Hong Kong can be a very useful tool for monitoring the movement of packages. Postal statuses will indicate at what stage the shipment is at.

The sender can receive a track number for tracking Hongkong Post mail upon registration at the post office. Or register the parcel remotely. But we must remember that electronic registration does not guarantee that the sender will send the parcel. In the first case, the physical transfer of the item occurs immediately, so information about the number of the postal item is entered into the tracking system very quickly and the recipient can immediately see the status of acceptance of the IPO for shipment.

Question from our reader:

"Hello. I made an order on Aliexpress, which was Aliexpress Saver shipping. Today I received a notification from Russian Post that a small package from Hong Kong with the track ZA******HK has changed its status to “Delivered”. The status of the parcel is “Received by the addressee”. The post office says that they have no information about this parcel at all. What should I do? Who got it instead of me? Where can I look for the parcel?

Now many Aliexpress buyers find themselves in this situation.

What happens to packages sent by Aliexpress Saver shipping? Who receives them instead of the recipients?

If you ask the Russian Post a question, they answer that this item is unregistered. And it is not tracked in Russia. But how can this be? Buyers see that the parcel has been tracked and even has a status indicating that it has arrived at the delivery location, and that the parcel has even been delivered. Why is the information so different? Why does the post office claim that the parcel is trackless?

Why is the Aliexpress Saver shipping package without a track, but is also tracked in Russia?

Since a tracked track number costs extra money, Aliexpress has found a way to send cheap, inexpensive goods. They collect parcels in a warehouse from several sellers who go in the same direction, pack them in a large bag and buy one track for the whole bag. And several buyers receive this tracking number and can track it. But all the parcels that are inside are ordinary non-tracked (unregistered shipments). B in Russia they cannot be found by postal identifier.

What to do if your parcel has the status “Received by the addressee” Track ZA*****HK (Hong Kong Post)

1. Immediately go to the post office and ask to see the package in your name.

2. You may receive a notification, then you will receive your parcel without any problems.

3. If the post office did not give you the package, then write a complaint that the notice was not delivered to you.

4. Call the postmaster. Try to use it to find out where your package is.

5. Submit an application to the claims service of the Russian Post. And you will receive

Should I open a dispute or not?

A very difficult situation arises when opening a dispute. After all, mediators and the seller will see in the tracking that you received the parcel. And there is a chance that mediators will consider you a fraud, and your account may be blocked. Or they will offer to deal with your mail directly, since the package has been delivered.
