China Post Service Types

China Post, as the official postal service of China, offers a range of shipping methods to accommodate different needs for both domestic and international mail and parcels. Some of the common shipping methods include:

China Post Registered Air Mail

This is a cost-effective and secure method for sending small packages weighing up to 2 kg internationally. Packages sent via this method can be tracked online.

China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus

This is an economical option for sending small, lightweight items (up to 2 kg) without tracking information. It is suitable for low-value items due to the lack of tracking and limited insurance coverage.

China Post EMS (Express Mail Service)

This is an express service for sending documents and parcels both domestically and internationally at a faster speed. EMS offers door-to-door delivery, tracking services, and some level of insurance coverage.

ePacket

Developed for e-commerce merchants, ePacket is a faster and more affordable shipping option for lightweight parcels (up to 2 kg) being sent from China to various countries, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and some European countries. ePacket provides end-to-end tracking services.

SAL (Surface Air Lifted)

This shipping method combines surface and air transport, offering a balance between cost and delivery time for parcels weighing between 2 kg and 30 kg. It's available for select destinations.

China Post Air Parcel

Suitable for sending heavier parcels (up to 20 or 30 kg, depending on the destination country) with tracking information. Delivery times are generally longer than EMS but shorter than surface mail.

China Post Surface Mail

This is a slow and low-cost shipping method for heavy packages (up to 20 or 30 kg, depending on the destination) sent by sea or land transportation. Transit times can take several weeks or months, and tracking may not always be available.

China Post Service Area

China Post, the official postal service of China, is responsible for providing mail services, including letter post, parcel service, EMS (express mail), and logistics services within the country and internationally.

Domestic Package Tracking

China Post provides coverage across mainland China (China EMS), including provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities. It also serves Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

International Package Tracking

China Post has an extensive international presence and offers its services to most countries and regions worldwide. This includes North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America.

China Post Tracking Number Format & Examples

China Post tracking numbers typically consist of 13 alphanumeric characters. The format and examples are as follows:

  1. The first two letters indicate the type of service or mail category:

    • R: Registered Mail
    • C: International package services such as ePacket, Small Parcel, etc.
    • E: EMS (Express Mail Service)
  2. The following nine digits are unique identifiers for the specific item being shipped.

  3. The last two letters represent the country of origin, in this case, CN for China.

Examples:

  • RA123456789CN (Registered Mail)
  • CP123456789CN (Parcel or ePacket)
  • EE123456789CN (EMS)
