Frequently Asked Questions - China & Cross-Border Shipping
How long does shipping from China take?
Economy/standard shipping: 15-45 days. AliExpress Standard: 12-20 days. Express (DHL, FedEx, SF Express): 3-7 days. Actual times vary by destination country, customs processing, and current shipping volumes.
Why is my AliExpress tracking not updating?
Chinese tracking often doesn't update for the first 1-2 weeks as the package consolidates and moves to the departure airport. Updates typically resume once the package reaches your country's postal service. This is normal for economy shipping.
What does 'Handed over to carrier' mean?
This means your package has been transferred from the Chinese logistics provider to an international carrier or your country's postal service. New tracking updates should appear within 2-5 days as it enters the destination country's system.
Can I track my Taobao order internationally?
Yes, Taobao orders shipped via Cainiao or forwarders provide tracking numbers. Use the Cainiao app or our tracking page. For consolidated shipments via agents, use the forwarder's tracking until it reaches the international carrier.
Which Chinese shipping is fastest?
SF Express International is the fastest Chinese carrier (3-7 days). DHL, FedEx from China are also fast. Cainiao Super Economy/AliExpress Saver is the slowest (30-60 days). AliExpress Standard is mid-range (12-20 days).
My package says 'customs' for many days. Is this normal?
Customs processing can take 1-7 days depending on your country and package contents. Packages may be inspected randomly. If held for more than 2 weeks, contact your local customs office or postal service for clearance status.
