I left your parcels for the destination country. Transit in the destination country - what does this mean in Aliexpress. Departed from the airport

In order not to make a mistake in the approximate delivery time of the parcel, you should know what this or that status means. On this page we will consider in detail all possible statuses so that you do not have difficulty determining the location of the parcel.

Postal statuses when tracking shipments from abroad

Reception.

This status implies that the sender has completed all the necessary forms, including Form CN22 or CN23 (customs declaration), and the parcel has been accepted by the postal or courier service. Simultaneously with receipt, the shipment is assigned an identification number, which is subsequently used for tracking.

Arrival at MMPO.

MMPO is a place of international postal exchange. At this stage, the parcel undergoes customs control and registration. After this, service employees prepare a grouped international shipment.

Export.

One of the longest periods in the delivery of postal items. This is due to the fact that sending a partially loaded plane is unprofitable, so you have to wait until there is a sufficient number of parcels heading to one country.

In addition, to optimize logistics processes, shipments can be delivered in transit through other countries, and this also delays delivery time.

It is impossible to name the exact duration of the parcel's stay in export. But on average it ranges from two weeks to one and a half months. Moreover, on the eve of the holidays, this period may further increase. But if more than two months have passed since receiving the “Export” status, and there are no changes, you should contact the postal service performing the delivery with a request to search for the shipment.

Import.

This status is assigned to the shipment at the Russian AOPP (aviation mail department), where it arrives from an airplane. Here, according to the service regulations, the parcels are weighed, the integrity of the packaging is checked, the barcode is scanned to find out the place of departure, the flight number is recorded, and it is determined to which MMPO the parcel should be sent. Duration of stay international departure in AOPP depends on the workload of the department and its employees, but on average it is 1-2 days.

Handed over to customs.

After sorting, the parcels are sent for customs inspection, where they go through an X-ray scanner. In the event that employees customs service suspicions arise about the illegal transportation of prohibited substances or items, the shipment is opened and inspected in the presence of an inspector and the responsible operator. After this (if the fact of transportation of prohibited goods has not been confirmed), the parcel is packed again, an inspection report is attached and sent along the route.

Detained by customs.

This status is optional. It is assigned to a shipment only in cases where customs officers identify a weight that exceeds the permissible limit, a cost of more than 1,000 euros, and other violations. In this case, the recipient will have to pay additional fees. If there are no violations of customs legislation, the parcel will bypass this status.

Customs clearance has been completed.

After receiving this status, the parcel is again transferred to the place of international postal exchange, where it is processed by the department staff. In some cases, this status may be replaced by “left MMPO”.

Arrived at the sorting center.

From MMPO the shipment arrives for sorting. There are postal sorting centers in all major cities. As a rule, the parcel is sent to the center closest to the MMPO, where logistics service employees develop the optimal delivery route to the point of issue.

Left the sorting center.

This status means that the parcel has been sent along the delivery route. The time it takes for it to arrive at the recipient depends on several factors, including traffic congestion, remoteness of the region, etc.

There are Russian Post sorting centers in all major cities.

Arrived at the sorting center of the city N.

Upon arrival in the recipient's city, the parcel is delivered to the local sorting center. From here, the goods are distributed to post offices or other order delivery points. Delivery speed is affected by: transport congestion, weather, distance. For example, delivery within the city takes no more than 1-2 days, but within the region it can take about a week.

Came to the place of delivery.

After the shipment arrives at the nearest post office, it is assigned this status. Next, postal employees are required to issue a notice and deliver it to the addressee within 1-2 days. In fact, this period may be slightly delayed, so it is better to use the “My Parcel” tracking service. As soon as you see the status “arrived at the place of delivery”, you can go to the post office. It is not necessary to wait for notification, since postal employees are required to issue the item using the identification code (tracking number). Upon receipt, you must have your passport with you.

Delivery to the addressee.

This status is assigned to the parcel after it is received by the addressee and means the end of the journey.

Domestic Russian shipments are assigned the same statuses, with the exception of those related to the customs stage and MMPO. Therefore, the information will also be useful to those who make purchases in Russian online stores or are expecting a package from loved ones living in another city or region.

Now you know the interpretation of each status and can not only determine the actual location of the parcel, but also approximately calculate the delivery time.

Statuses in Aliexpress are information about what stage your order or package is at. It is necessary to distinguish between statuses order(waiting for payment, payment verification, order processing) and statuses parcels(the parcel arrived at the sorting point, left customs, export, import). The order status is assigned to the order by the website itself and information about it can be seen in the order information. The status of the parcel is assigned by the post office and customs and is tracked on specialized websites.

We will look at both types of statuses and figure out what they mean.

Aliexpress order statuses

This status is assigned to the order immediately after clicking the Place Order button - until payment is made. The time given to the buyer to pay for the order is indicated below in the form of a countdown timer. If the order is not paid within this time, it will automatically close and change to Closed status.

Your payment is being verified– Aliexpress verifies your payment.

Immediately after paying for the order, the payment is sent for verification by the site, and the order status changes to Your payment is being verified. Payment verification usually takes 24 hours, after which it is time for the seller to send the order

– The seller is processing your order

The order status changes to The supplier is processing your order. The time for sending an order is set personally by the seller and is indicated on the product description page. In the order, the time allocated for sending is indicated in the form of a countdown timer. If the order is not shipped within the specified time, Aliexpress will cancel the order. If the seller does not have time to send the order at the specified time, you can extend the processing time by clicking on the " Extend processing time" located under the timer. If for some reason you change your mind about placing an order, click " Request order cancellation" located there. You can read more detailed information about canceling an order in our article “How to cancel an order on Aliexpress”.

The seller has shipped your order - the seller has sent your order.

The order receives this status after sending the order and entering the track number into the system to track it. A new countdown timer appears in the order, indicating how much time is left until the end of the Buyer Protection program on Aliexpress. Button Request to extend Purchase Protection allows you to extend the duration of the Program if, after 40 days, the order has not been delivered. Button Open Dispute allows you to open a dispute (dispute) if the arrived product turns out to be of inadequate quality or does not arrive at all

Parcels from China to the CIS countries do not always go directly - sometimes they are sent through intermediate points. These points are transit countries located in Europe. While the parcel is at the airport of an intermediate country, its location is marked in the tracking with separate messages. How to translate into Russian Arrive at transit country- I will describe the status that appears immediately after exporting goods from China.

Let's figure out what the Arrive at transit country status means

How is Arrive at transit country translated into Russian?

The literal translation of the Arrive at transit country status into Russian is “Arrival in a transit country.”

Thus, it means that the plane from Hong Kong, Shanghai or Beijing has arrived from China to one of the European countries, and then the parcel will undergo customs checks to be sent to the destination country. Where exactly is the ordered product located? this moment, it is impossible to find out until it is received at the post office at the recipient’s place of residence - index transit country will be indicated in the accompanying documentation.

It should be taken into account that the Arrive at transit country status does not always appear - it, like the use of transit countries in general, is used only in the absence of direct flights from China to the destination country. Flights to large countries there is almost always, so when ordering goods from Aliexpress to Russia, this status can only occur when Chinese airports are heavily loaded - for example, on holidays. More often, the parcel travels through third countries when sent to Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, etc.

The Arrive at transit country status appears after the parcel leaves China

Depending on the tracking service and the delivery method used, alternative statuses with the same meaning may be used:

• Arrival at transit country - can be supplemented with information about a specific stage of procedures at the airport of a transit country (arrival, transfer to the airport, registration at a temporary storage warehouse, etc.);
• Arrived at transferring country;
• Parcel arrived at the regional hub.

After the parcel goes through all the procedures at the airport of the transit country, and a suitable flight is found for it in the direction of the destination country, tracking will issue the following message - Depart from transit country. Knowing how the Arrive at transit country status is translated into Russian, it is easy to understand the remaining stages of the parcel’s stay at the intermediate point.

What to do if the Arrive at transit country status does not appear or does not change for a long time?

The absence of this status does not always indicate problems with the parcel - perhaps the parcel was sent directly to the destination country, and after some time a message will appear indicating the arrival of the plane at a Russian or Ukrainian airport.

In some cases, it may take less than a minute for a parcel to pass through a transit point

If the status does not change for a long time, this may indicate:

• problems when the parcel passes customs control in a transit country;
• lack of suitable flights for further movement of the parcel;
• loss of a parcel while being stored in an airport warehouse is unlikely, but possible.

The normal time for a shipment to pass through all transit points, if one of the European countries acts as an intermediate country, is 2–3 days. If the Arrive at transit country status is significantly delayed, you should contact the seller to find out which country the package is in and contact the local airport. If the buyer's protection period is coming to an end, you need to either open a dispute with the seller or ask to extend the period, otherwise you may never receive the parcel.

Now you know the translation of Arrive at transit country into Russian and can easily figure out how to track your parcel. If you have questions about other Aliexpress statuses, ask them in the comments.

Very often people on the site ask what this or that parcel status means. And since they ask, then we need to figure it out.

Postal status and order status on Aliexpress are two different things!

This article will discuss about postal statuses , we also have an article. These are different things. The order status is tracked in your . And reflects information about the parcel within the Aliexpress trading platform. And the status of the parcel is tracked in postal services (Russian Post, China Post, etc.). Don't be confused.

Not all orders can be tracked

Please note that not every parcel can be tracked while moving from the seller to you. This is only possible if it has a trackable track. But how can you find out about this BEFORE ordering?

In the case of Aliexpress - open , then click on Delivery

And after clicking, you will see a menu with information about delivery methods. The last column will display information about the availability of the track (Delivery Information).

If this field says Not available, then your order will not have a track when you select this delivery, the parcel will not be tracked and you will not be able to find out the current postal status of the parcel.

How to track a parcel from Aliexpress

If this is your first time tracking a parcel and your package is from Aliexpress, then read our article. If your parcel is not tracked at all, then read.

Please note that the article describes the most common statuses. In fact, there are many more of them, but other parcel statuses are much less common. And yet, for some private courier companies, especially in China, the same statuses can be designated by different words. If you have a status that is not described in this article, ask in the comments, we’ll try to figure it out. Be sure to indicate where you saw this status!

Parcel statuses in the country of departure (for example in China)

While the parcel is in the country of departure, it may have the following statuses:

• Collection, Acceptance – the parcel was delivered to the post office. It is worth keeping in mind that the parcel does not immediately begin to be tracked using the tracking number given to you by the seller. It takes some time to process the parcel and enter it into the database. Usually the track begins to be tracked within 10 days.
• Opening (The parcel has arrived at the transit point) . Usually the postal code of the transit point is written next to this status. There can be many such statuses. Moreover, their order is not always correct. Probably transit point operators do not fill in the data right away. Therefore, one should not be surprised at the Opening status after Export.
• Arrival at MMPO (Dispatching, Processing) . In this status, the parcel is being prepared for export and shipment to the destination country. For some transport companies in China, this is the last status that is tracked.
• Export (Departure from outward office of exchange, Total Export) – means that the parcel has passed all the necessary procedures and has been sent to the destination country.

After the last status, it may take quite a long time until the parcel begins to be tracked in the destination country. If the parcel was sent without an international track, it may no longer be tracked at all.

Parcel statuses in the destination country (for example, Russia)

• Import (Import) – the parcel has arrived in the destination country. It is processed for transfer to customs.
• Reception at customs – transfer to customs for clearance.
• Customs clearance. Customs release – the parcel has passed everything necessary customs clearance and is preparing for release with MMPO
• Left the place of international exchange of MMPO – the parcel left customs and was handed over to the post office for further dispatch.
• Left the sorting center – the parcel is sorted and sent to its destination.
• Came to the place of delivery – the parcel has arrived at the post office. In principle, you can already receive it. Or wait for a notification.
• Product Delivered – the parcel has ALREADY been delivered to the recipient.

Please note that in the parcel tracking interface at Russian Post, for import, the addressee's index is indicated. Sometimes, in case of an error or a fake track, it may be visible that the parcel is coming not to your post office. If the package has changed several statuses, but the index is still incorrect, then you should start worrying.

Unpleasant parcel statuses

The parcel statuses described above are quite standard. They mean the package is on its way. Sometimes the package may get stuck on statuses, sometimes miss some, but, in most cases, everything is fine. However, there are statuses that clearly mean problems:

• Return. Other circumstances - means that there is something wrong with your package. And it is returned to the sender. What is wrong needs to be clarified. It's best to start with the Russian Post hotline 8-800-2005-888. After finding out the reasons and finding the culprits, you can think about what to do next.
• Return. Return to customs - similar to the previous paragraph. Usually means that the address is not written legibly.
• Unsuccessful attempt of delivery - usually accompanied by clarification about the reasons for failure. Inaccurate address, Incomplete address, Addressee dropped out, etc. In this situation, the main thing is to get to the post office before the parcel storage time expires - that’s 30 days. Also check whether the parcel arrived at the post office at all. Well, sometimes at the post office such statuses are given from a flashlight. But it's worth monitoring.
• Return. Expiration date – obviously, you forgot to receive the parcel on time and it was returned.
• Dosyl. Submission – the parcel arrived at the wrong post office and was redirected. That is, the parcel travels further. That is, this is not a problem, but you need to control the situation.

What do the letters at the end of the status mean (PEK, CAN, etc.)

These letters are often visible when tracking the status of a package on China Air Post. They indicate the IATA airport designations where the parcel was registered. Their designations can be seen on any air ticket purchasing service (SkyScanner for example;)).

What does NULL status mean (NULL, PEK)

This status is visible when tracking the status of the parcel at China Post. These are just internal China Post statuses that they haven't translated into English. Therefore, where there should be a translation, it is not there, but instead NULL. If you can’t bear to find out what this status is, switch to the Chinese version of the service, copy the status in hieroglyphs and translate it with Google Translator. True, this method does not always work. Sometimes in the Chinese version some statuses simply do not exist.

NULL, PEK means that the parcel was at Beijing airport. What she did there can be found in the Chinese version of China Air Post.

What does item arrived at OE in tne destination country mean?

OE - office of exchange - MMPO, Place of International Postal Exchange. This is a normal status, which means the parcel has arrived at customs and is undergoing customs clearance.

The track (package status) has stopped changing, the parcel is not tracked

Very often, restless buyers begin to worry when the status of the parcel suddenly stops changing. This often happens after export. It seems that just recently the parcel was briskly moving around China, changing statuses almost every day, and suddenly, after some Export of international mail, Arrived to destination country and the like track, the parcel stops moving..

If you recognize your situation, we have discussed this situation in detail in the article. In short, there are two options:

• If your track is international and is successfully tracked on the official website of your state mail (Russian Post, UkrPoshta, Belposhta) and more than 2-3 weeks have passed since the last status update, then well, your fears are not without reason.
• If your track has never been tracked on the mail website. You checked the status of the parcel in personal account Aliexpress or some specialized site for checking the track, or the track format in general is clearly different from the international one (the correct international one is something like this RR123456789CN). This track often changes during export if the parcel is transferred to your state post office. That is, in your country such a parcel travels under a different track (which you do not know, and, as a rule, cannot find out). Well, the old track remains in the latest status. That is, there is nothing to worry about here at all. This situation is normal.

But be that as it may. Whether your parcel from Aliexpress is tracked or not, the main thing you should do is control the protection period and extend it if necessary or open a dispute.

Checking the seller on Aliexpress

Most problems with orders on Aliexpress can be avoided if you carefully choose a seller on Aliexpress BEFORE purchasing. There is nothing complicated about this and you can figure it out. But if time is precious and you don’t have time to figure it out, then use our service.

Finally

I have repeatedly written my personal opinion that when ordering goods from China you need to be patient. There is no need to worry if the parcel does not change its status for three days, a week, or two. This is a common occurrence. And on holidays, of which there are quite a few in China, everything stops. When ordering goods on Aliexpress, your parcels are protected. It is much more important for a successful purchase to spend more time choosing a lot and then control only the expiration date of the protection. Than monitoring the movement of a parcel 20 times a day.

And use services and programs to control the movement of parcels. There are quite a few different ones now.

P.S. from February 2018:

In the comments you often ask what this or that parcel status means. Most often, the unclear meaning of the status is associated with a crooked translation of the status issued by the Chinese carrier. Often the current status depends on the previous movement of the parcel, and it is now possible to understand what your non-standard status means now only by understanding how the parcel moved previously. Therefore, if you want to ask something about your parcel:

Write the tracking number of your parcel.

And we will ignore or delete comments like “What does XXX status mean?” Sorry, but I’m tired of copy-pasting “Write a track, we’ll see” into the void.
