Track China EMS Parcels
To track the status of packages being sent or received within China, there are several reliable options available. In addition to visiting the EMS homepage, you can utilize EMS's official Tracking system and AfterShip Tracking Page, as mentioned earlier. Furthermore, you have the option to access the China EMS (ePacket) Tracking page, where you can instantly obtain logistics updates. These platforms provide convenient and efficient tracking services for your packages within China.
What do EMS tracking numbers look like?
The EMS tracking number is a unique code consisting of 13 alphanumeric characters. It begins with the letter 'E' followed by another capital letter, then nine digits, and ends with the two-letter ISO country code of the origin country. This code serves as a digital identifier for your package within the EMS system.
For example, EX123456789US (originating from the United States), EB793711138CN (originating from China), and EN2685383355JP (originating from Japan).
Where can I find EMS tracking number?
To locate your EMS tracking number, you mainly have two options:
Receipt: When you send a parcel through EMS, the tracking number is usually printed on the receipt. Look for "receipt number" or "EMS number."
Shipment Confirmation Email: EMS typically sends an email to your registered address after dispatching your package. This email will contain the tracking number.
I have just sent an item using EMS, how do I find out where my item is?
To find your EMS item, reach out to the postal operator or EMS operator in the sending or destination country. The EMS Unit doesn't handle customer tracking inquiries as they work on behalf of postal organizations. The individual EMS operators in each country manage postal tracking information and their Customer Service departments can assist with general queries or locating your EMS item.
EMS Shipping
EMS is a paid service in shipping that ensures faster delivery of postal items. It operates as an express postal service, delivering locally within a day and internationally within three or more days.
How does EMS Shipping work?
If you use EMS for international shipping, a local courier like FedEx will handle the domestic part of the journey. This means you can take your package to a nearby FedEx store and drop it off there.
Once you've dropped off your package at FedEx, they will transport it to a freight forwarding depot where it will be sorted and sent to the country it's going to. The final delivery will be made by the local postal service of that destination country.
EMS Shipping Delivery Time
EMS shipping duration varies due to factors like the postal service, parcel size and weight, transportation mode, and destination. Typically, EMS delivery times are as follows:
- Within the same continent: 2-5 business days
- Shipments to the United States: 5-7 business days
- Remote destinations: 10-12 business days (may experience longer delivery times)
These are average delivery times, and actual durations can vary. To stay updated and ensure peace of mind throughout the shipment process, it is recommended to use the EMS tracking system.
EMS package limits
When using EMS for shipping, you can send packages that weigh up to 30 kilograms (66 pounds) and have a maximum length of 1.5 meters. The length circumference should not exceed three meters.
