Owned by the State Post Bureau of the People's Republic of China, China Post is the official postal service of China. Also the item had been marked "delivered" three times, indicating that this junk package was returned to the carrier twice because it was refused. No seller spends more money to ship than what he gets for the item. The junk the seller sent with tracking was EMS, the most expensive, and the item I bought for $150 would have been $550+ to ship it. I have just become a victim of this and have clear evidence that it is a tracking scam and still I lose. Their arbitrators side with their sellers and give them your money. The Ali group is making $250+ Billion every year from the US and probably half is stolen money from this scam.

So when this package shows "delivered", then the seller that gave this tracking number to his victim, will accuse him of getting his item. The tracking from China Post in the US does not have a record of an address. You buy an expensive item, the seller gets some seeds or worthless junk and sends it to anyone in the US with tracking. O well, I guess if I am lucky the goods might be here by Christmas.Everyone has got the wrong idea, this is a tracking scam being used by sellers on Alibaba and Aliexpress. However, these tracking number have nothing to do with China Post and China Post can not verify the authentic of the parcel shipment. In most cases, the parcels from big agent such as Yanwen will arrive destination without any problem. Sometimes, those tracking number can shows some parcel pickup info and airport info in the agent’s own website. Some China Post agents also provide some kind of mock “tracking number” for China Post Regular Airmail in order to fulfill the marketplace requirement. Since many big marketplaces such as ebay, aliexpress, amazon etc REQUIRE seller to ship goods with tracking number. The arrival speed is similar to REGISTERED AIRMAIL.Īll above tracking numbers can be tracked in
