How long does it take to deliver from Aliexpress? Aliexpress how long does it take for a parcel to arrive: how to track a parcel from Aliexpress

The AliExpress service is used by people all over the world, and in Russia and the CIS countries it has gained particular popularity. But where can I get information about delivery times for orders, how long does it take for goods to arrive from AliExpress to Russia? Below you will find necessary information about the delivery time of orders.

What determines delivery time?

In order to understand how much a product costs from AliExpress, you need to figure out what the delivery time will depend on:

  • From the postal company that transports products.
  • From the type of transport to which the order was sent (air transport, railway or water means).
  • There are also courier services for express delivery of goods, which transport goods much faster.

Delivery period AliExpress order from China to Russia, as well as Ukraine or Belarus, have always been approximately the same, but for lately Russian Post entered into an agreement with the Chinese service China Post, which provides services for processing AliExpress goods. This agreement established that the number of days will be reduced to 10. But in fact, delivery from AliExpress still lasts from 2 weeks to Russia and up to a month to the CIS countries.

How to find out the location of a parcel

If you want to find out the delivery time of your order, first find out what transportation method is used. To receive such information online, simply enter the track number and click on the tracking button.

There is also another way to quickly find out the delivery service of your order:

Once you figure out how to transport a package from AliExpress, you can find out how many days it will take.

Postal services

China Post Air Mail

Almost 80-90% of all orders go through this service. China Post Air Mail is one of the most inexpensive, and most often free types sending goods. But, despite the tangible benefits, this delivery method takes a long time. If your order is sent this way, you will have to wait. More than 2/3 of orders arrive in one month, and about 20% - in one and a half to two months. But there are times when goods only last a couple of weeks. What factors does this depend on? This is currently difficult to find out. But rest assured that the sellers themselves do not influence the operation of postal services in any way.

Don't forget about the order processing period. So, if the parcel was sent only when 10 days have passed after payment, you need to add at least another month. As a result, you will have to wait approximately 40 days.

EMS

This is one of the most convenient types delivery for a fee. If you want to receive the goods as quickly as possible, do not hesitate to choose this type of transportation. On the 14th day you will most likely receive the parcel.

Swiss Post, Hong Hong Post, Singapore Post

Swiss, Hong Kong and Singapore postal services generally do not face as much congestion as China Post. Therefore, this type of delivery is also very convenient. A parcel delivered in this way will arrive not in a painful couple of months, but within two to a maximum of four weeks. As practice shows, almost 100% of orders end up in the hands of the buyer within one month.

DHL and TNT

DHL and TNT services claim that they deliver orders from China within a few days (5-6 days). But the price of such transportation of goods is too high. However, in fact, the goods still arrive in a couple of weeks. As a result, you will pay dearly for the service, but you will have to wait the same time as with less expensive paid services.

Stages of product delivery

  1. First, after the customer selects the product and pays the fee, suppliers check the status of the funds.
  2. The seller then selects the products you purchased from the warehouse and arranges for shipment. In general, the first and second stages last from 2 to 10 days.
  3. The goods go through a forwarding and sorting center in China, and then documents for the parcel are prepared.
  4. After this, the order enters the customs service and undergoes an inspection procedure before export. As a result, another 10 days pass after the second stage.
  5. Then, when the goods reach the recipient's country, they will be sent to the customs office of that country or the transit country. Thus, another 20 to 30 days will pass (free shipping). When using a paid delivery service, the last stage of transportation will be less.

As a result, the parcel can take from 40 to 60 days.

Delivery on holidays

Difficulties in delivering orders occur during winter holidays, namely Christmas and New Year. This also applies to Chinese New Year. Therefore, you should not complain about the work of the AliExpress service or postal services in such cases. Remember that you should order gifts much earlier before the holidays.

At the moment, we can confidently say that AliExpress is changing the rules of delivery to Russia, as well as Belarus and Ukraine. Before this there were only rumors, but now the new conditions come into force. How this threatens ordinary buyers from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine and whether this will somehow affect sales volumes will be discussed within the framework of this material.

It’s worth noting right away that the new conditions will not be the same for all of the listed countries; for Russia the conditions are a little softer, but before drawing any conclusions, we need to figure out how to change the delivery rules on AliExpress and what we will gain or lose from this.

New terms of delivery from AliExpress to Russia, Belarus, Ukraine

New rules for delivery from AliExpress to Russia, Belarus, Ukraine have already come into force, as you can see for yourself, for example, the cost is less than $2. If before this delivery was free for you, now you will have to pay a little extra for it. Considering that changes in delivery rules only came into force, not all sellers had time to respond to this in time.

Literally within a few weeks, sellers will adapt prices, and the average buyer will not notice any difference, and in addition will receive an undeniable plus - the ability to track the parcel at all stages of its movement, from the moment of shipment to delivery to the buyer’s hands.

It would be naive to assume that the “Free Delivery” indicated on the product card was really free for you. Of course, Chinese sellers are not so generous and never paid for you from their own pockets, the delivery cost was already included in the final cost of the goods, so the new conditions will only benefit both buyers and sellers, allowing them to increase the percentage of successfully delivered parcels.

If you are an honest buyer on Aliexpress, then there is no reason to worry. It is not difficult to guess why such a decision was made regarding the new conditions for delivery of goods.

Firstly, this is due to dishonest sellers, whom AliExpress has been successfully fighting for a long time, blocking their accounts, thereby depriving them of the opportunity to trade. But, as they say, if it’s in the blood, then it won’t go anywhere - they register again under different names and continue to deceive buyers. Recently, the management of the site has increased the minimum threshold for “renting” a store, i.e. Now, to open a store on Aliexpress, the average Chinese will have to pay much more than before, so outright deception of the buyer has not been observed on Aliexpress for a long time.

The main problem that buyers have recently encountered on Aliexpress was, in a word, the parcel was tracked only within the territory of China, until the moment of export, after which the buyer was left to wait languidly and guess for himself where his parcel was at the moment. IN best case scenario it was possible to see the status of import to the destination country, but this did not mean anything, because after import anything could happen and the parcel would never arrive. In addition, the postal notice that informs the recipient of such parcels may simply not be delivered and the parcel will be sent back (such cases are not uncommon).

Secondly, the new delivery conditions for Aliexpress were adopted due to the fault of particularly “smart” buyers who, knowing that the parcel was not tracked after export, waited certain time, after which they returned the funds, in addition receiving a parcel for which the money had already been returned, because the seller, as a result of the dispute, could not prove that the parcel was actually delivered to the buyer due to incomplete tracking. Now such types of fraud will be excluded. Decent buyers have previously, even after a dispute, offered to pay again for the goods received if, as a result of the dispute, they received a full refund.

For buyers from Russia, under the new conditions for delivery of parcels to Aliexpress, the economy delivery option will be available for goods whose cost is below $2, and for those whose cost is higher in mandatory Track codes will be issued that can be tracked along the entire route of the parcel. Alternatively, for more expensive parcels you will be asked to choose which type of registered item you prefer - standard tracking or new service Simplified Registered Mail.

Actually, before, for goods whose cost was about $3, normal track codes were given, now it will simply not be the seller’s wish, but a rule that they will all have to follow.

For buyers from Belarus and Ukraine, all parcels, regardless of cost, will be registered, since the management of AliExpress recognized these countries as more “unsafe” for economy delivery.

Tracking parcels from AliExpress - Simplified Registered Mail (after new delivery rules)

If you have been around for a long time, then you are probably already familiar with the Cainiao service, on the basis of which tracking of your parcels is implemented in the user’s personal account. It was after its integration into personal account Parcels sent using . began to be more or less tracked. Many people still believe that Cainiao is an email tracker, they are partly right, but in fact Cainiao is a full-fledged logistics operator that exists with the support of Alibaba Group.

In connection with the new delivery conditions, Cainiao and Russian Post in partnership have developed a new Simplified Registered Mail service, within which they will share complete information on the movement of parcels on each side, thereby making the picture of the movement of parcels more transparent for the end consumer. The service becomes available to all Aliexpress buyers without exception from the moment the new delivery conditions come into force.

To summarize the above, we can confidently say that the new rules, which this time affected the delivery of parcels from Aliexpress, will only improve the quality of the service provided. Just like that, now the parcel cannot be lost, as it will be registered along its entire route and tracked using the new Simplified Registered Mail service.

As we see, Aliexpress is developing, and in all directions, this time it affected delivery, last time, let's see what the largest Asian platform can surprise us with in the future.

(function(w, d, n, s, t) ( w[n] = w[n] || ; w[n].push(function() ( Ya.Context.AdvManager.render(( blockId: "R-A -184100-2", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-184100-2", horizontalAlign: false, async: true )); )); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script"); s = d.createElement("script "); s.type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); ))(this, this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");

In order to find out how long it will take on average for a package to arrive from Aliexpress, first of all, you need to find out what type of delivery it was sent by.

How to find out where your package is online:

Enter the track code, click “track” and find where your parcel is located.

Once we have found out which type of delivery the package is being sent to you, you can find out how long it will take to deliver it.

China Post Air Mail

Almost 80% of all parcels from China are sent via China Post Air Mail. This is the most inexpensive (very often free) way to send parcels. China Post is the most profitable, but also, unfortunately, the longest method. If you ordered a package using this shipping method, please be patient. In 70% of cases, parcels arrive within 30 days, 20% within 1.5-2 months. There are, of course, exceptions; the package can arrive in 2-3 weeks. Why this depends, no one knows, the seller is in in this case cannot in any way affect the speed of delivery.

Don't forget to take into account the order processing time. That is, if the seller sent your order 10 days after it was placed, add another 30 days to this figure (on average). As a result, your waiting time will be 40 days.

There are also isolated cases when a parcel is lost at customs. In this case, it is impossible to say specifically when you will receive it.

Hong Hong Post, Swiss Post, Singapore Post

Hong Kong, Switzerland and Singapore Post are not as busy as China Post, so it can be called a more convenient delivery method. If you are waiting for a package sent by these postal services, we are not talking about 2-3 months. For residents of the Russian Federation and CIS countries, the parcel will be delivered within 15-30 days. In 90% of cases, the parcel arrives within 30 days.

EMS

EMS is the most convenient way of fast paid delivery. If you need urgent delivery of a particular product, feel free to choose this method. Time EMS delivery is only 2 weeks.

TNT, DHL

TNT and DHL promise to deliver your package from China in just 5 days. However, the cost of such shipments very rarely justifies the purchase. In addition, the parcel rarely arrives in 5 days. Delivery usually takes 10-15 days. As a result, the delivery cost is much more expensive, and the delivery time is the same as EMS.

There are dozens, even hundreds of ways to deliver goods from China. In this article, I decided to collect all the popular delivery methods from Aliexpress. If you know about any other methods that are not described in the article, then please tell me about them in the comments. I hope the article will help you if you have a choice when delivering goods.

By the way, to save money when purchasing any goods on Ali (and absolutely any goods in general), use cashback services Letyshops or My Sidex. You can return up to 5% of the purchase amount and this is quite good. This way you can often reduce the cost of delivery.

Delivery by China Post

This is one of the most popular delivery methods with Aliexpress, which is offered by default in most cases. If you choose Aliexpress Standard Shipping method, then with high probability The parcel will be sent by China Post, although there are other options. In general, I’ll tell you about Aliexpress Standard Shipping a little lower.

So, China Post shipments can be divided into 3 types:


Parcels from China Post can be tracked by Russian Post. Naturally, this does not apply to small packages; I have already written about this.

Delivery by mail to other Asian countries

Of the most popular countries I will note these:

Delivery by post in European countries

This type of delivery is more suitable for residents of the European part of Russia, because the parcel first goes from China to Europe, and from there to Russia.

  1. SwissPost- Swiss Post, quite reliable and fast. Delivery 2-4 weeks.
  2. Sweden Post- about the same.

    3. I wrote about these 2 emails because many people are talking about them. But my parcels arrived by postal services of other countries.

  3. Finnish Post- I have positive impressions about it so far, all my parcels arrived intact, delivery time is 3-5 weeks. I looked, about a third of my orders go through them, so I already remember their tracking numbers very well - they end in FI.
  4. Netherlands Post(PostNL) - when ordering one product, I was not satisfied with the free delivery method, so I chose PostNL. They say this is one of the fastest and most reliable services. And in general, all European mail, I’m sure, works well. This delivery cost me 65 rubles, quite a bit.

That's basically all European companies that caught my eye.

Russian Air Company

Another delivery method that often comes across on Aliexpress is Russian Air. What is this? And this is a Russian-Chinese company. The parcel is sent, it is checked by Russian employees of the company (this is a plus), and then it can go either by plane, by train, or by another by land transport so the word Air in the company name does not guarantee air delivery.

Pros this method delivery:

  • Our Russian people work in China and check the parcel.
  • Cheap
  • They say that almost all parcels arrive safe and sound

Cons:

Quite long delivery. Usually 30-60 days.

Track numbers start with RM and end with CN. At least that's how it was for me.

Delivery by courier companies


CDEK- a well-known logistics company in Russia, recently 1 parcel was delivered to me through them. They called and told me to go to the local bus station at a certain time, on the right day I went up, there was a guy handing out packages, and that’s where I received mine. Delivery is more or less normal - 3-5 weeks.

Such parcels need to be tracked only on the CDEK website; the number cannot be tracked anywhere else.
There may also be a problem with the fact that if you live in small town, then there may not be CDEK pick-up points there, then you will have to negotiate with them how it would be best for you to pick up the parcel...


EMS- seems to be translated as Express Mail Service, that is, expedited delivery. In most cases, this is a fairly expensive option (delivery starts from 1000 rubles), so choose it for expensive items that you want to receive quickly. By choosing EMS you get:

  • Still, nothing, but reliability and quality of delivery
  • Speed ​​- from 7 days to 20 days. Fast enough.
  • Tracking all the way.
  • If the weight of your cargo does not exceed the established limits, there will be no problems with customs.

The parcel is sent to China first Chinese EMS, then accepts it Russian EMS and delivers to the final address.


DHL is a German logistics company that is famous for its incredibly fast delivery around the world. The services are very expensive. Delivery is 2-5 days, that is, very quickly. Perhaps simple buyers like us will never have to use DHL services.

This delivery method is more suitable for those who have some kind of business. I heard that there are various kinds problems with customs clearance, so read the reviews and experiences of other people who have used DHL. I'm not one of those people.

FedEx is an American courier company whose services are also quite expensive. On average it is more expensive than EMS, but cheaper than DHL.

ePacket- recently one parcel was sent to me just like that. In my opinion, this delivery method is paid, but inexpensive (I paid something like 80 rubles). In general, this is a combined shipping method. In China, the parcel is sent by express service EMS (that is, it goes quickly), and in Russia by regular state mail. Compared to China Post, this delivery method is on average 5-7 days faster. The track number starts with LM, maybe there are other symbols, I don’t know yet.

SF eParcel- a very large logistics company, delivery time 30-45 days. You can read about it on the Internet, I can’t say anything yet. Tracking takes place on the company's official website, the track number consists of numbers.

What is Seller's Shipping Method?

This is simply at the discretion of the seller. That is, the seller himself will decide how best to send the goods to you.

What is Aliexpress Standard Shipping?

Not long ago, Aliexpress launched a new service that allowed Aliexpress itself as a brand to participate in the delivery of goods to customers. It all looks like this:

  • You purchase a product by specifying the delivery method Aliexpress Standard Shipping.
  • The seller, instead of mail or courier service, carries the goods directly to one of the Aliexpress points, which are located throughout China.
  • And from this point, Aliexpress representatives decide how to deliver the parcel to you. They usually choose China Post, although there may be other options.

That is, if Seller`s Shipping Method is delivery at the discretion of the seller, then Aliexpress Standard Shipping is at the discretion Aliexpress itself. The advantage in this case is that the sender will not be some small seller, but the largest trading platform, which gives you certain advantages; if you have to open a dispute, it will immediately go into the status aggravated.

They also have an Aliexpress Premium Shipping option, which usually costs a fee. The goods will be sent in a faster and more reliable way.

Bottom line

As you can see, there are a lot of delivery methods. I’m sure I didn’t list many of them, I just pointed out the ones that I personally knew. at the moment caught my eye. If you have anything to add to this information, I will be glad to see your comments. Well, reviews and impressions about different types delivery, especially write here, it will be useful to everyone.

Well, what else is very useful for all buyers on Ali is the ability to use cashback. If you don’t know anything about this yet, in this article I tried to explain everything in as much detail as possible.

Free shipping is usually carried out by the postal company of the sender's country, while paid shipping is carried out by courier services or transport companies. Next, we will tell you in more detail about all the methods of parcel delivery.

Paid delivery with Aliexpress, types of paid delivery

So, let's start with the fact that paid delivery is carried out by private companies. You should choose them based on your financial capabilities and how urgently you need to receive the goods. Their prices are different and will be indicated on the page when choosing a method.

To date, paid delivery is provided by the following companies:

  • EMS– quite a popular service fast delivery from Russian Post. Guarantees delivery of goods within 10 to 12 days for $56.
  • TNT- one of five largest companies express delivery. The parcel will be delivered within 4-8 days for $92.
  • UPS is an American company engaged in the delivery of small parcels and large cargo. Delivery times are 4-8 days.

  • S.F. Express– the company primarily delivers shipments from China, Hong Kong and Thailand. Delivery time is about 8 days, and the price is $76.

Courier service of Russian Post is the most budget option delivery, and the most expensive is considered American company, but the parcel will arrive twice as fast. When you are not satisfied with the conditions of courier services, you can ask the merchant if there are other options and consider them.

fastest paid delivery

Not long ago I offered my customers to use their own delivery service.

There are two options:

  • Aliexpress Standard Shipping delivery time is 15-45 days.
  • Aliexpress Premium Shipping delivery time is 5-10 days.

Scheme this method quite simple, the seller sends the order to the warehouse trading platform, and from there the courier service picks it up and delivers it to the addressee. Most quick option This is premium delivery. This method is quite fast, the only thing is that such parcels may have numbers that cannot be used to track its path. You can also choose any courier service that will deliver the order within the same time frame.

Express delivery from Aliexpress

It is developing progressively and each time more and more confirms its status as an international platform. Now there is a service for selecting the country of delivery.

Free shipping with Aliexpress, how long do parcels with free shipping take?

To do this, check the box next to “Free Shipping” at the top of the page.

After this, the catalog will only contain items for which you will not have to pay for delivery. After which, opening , you will be able to see an inscription confirming free delivery from China.

With a paid package, it will arrive within 10 days, and with a free package, this period increases to 60 days. In second place are the holidays of the Middle Kingdom, of which, by the way, there are 18. No one works on these days, so it’s worth checking these dates in advance. Third and most common reason Chinese New Year. It lasts up to three weeks and the entire population of China is on vacation. And the fourth reason is the Congress Communist Party China. In anticipation of it, enormous security measures are being taken, including postal services. All shipments are carefully checked, and goods with lithium batteries and it is generally prohibited to send batteries during the days of the congress.
