How long does it usually take for tracking numbers to appear in China Post's site?

I made two orders at BIC which were sent registered, one on Mar 5th the other on the 7th.

Both tracking numbers still don't appear on China Post's site.

I'm not worried regarding the shipment, just curious when I should expect them to appear.

(curious note, both numbers appear to have been shipped on Mar 8th and 10th respectively, according to http://www.17track.net/ ...)

LOL, just checked the Israeli post site - one of the packages is already in Israel and will probably be delivered to me the day after tomorrow... :)

China Post's tracking hasn't worked for me for a couple of weeks - I just get server overloaded messages. I'd guess they need to throw a lot more hardware at it.

I use http://www.17track.net/IndexEn.html

It seems to be the best tracking website whether you order from China Post, HK Post, or any other. The China Post site is really iffy. Like you some of my shipments have already arrived in Canada before the China Post has it updated on their system.

Edit: oops didn't see you already use it. I guess it may be useful to others

bookmark 3 tracking websites:

  1. http://17track.net/ (you need to hit ""-button again if the result is null)
  2. http://sao.cn/ (you need to hit ""-button to retry. alternatively hit ""-button again if the result was null)
  3. http://trackitonline.ru/ (if the above 2 sites fail..)

Good luck with your orders!!

7 to 10 days.

China Post tracking is lacking.
I track using the “parcel” app. I will set up two different trackings for the same tracking number. One by China Post, and one by Canada Post. A lot of the time, by the time I get any useful info from China Post, I am already tracking it by Canada Post.

I ordered an item off of ebay on December 30th. The seller marked it shipped on January 1st. It was in China Post on January 2nd.

I ordered some items from Fasttech on December 25th. They said it was shipped on the 26th. It was in China Post on the 27th.

My stuff from FastTech came via Hong Kong Post.

Mine also. My 12/21 evening order was marked shipped on Sat 12/22 and accepted by HKP on Mon 12/24. Still got here in 13 days from order (10 days from acceptance) even with 2 Sundays and 2 holidays during Christmas season. 5 of the 10 shipping days were post customs.
