What should I do if the tracking of the Global Сainiao parcels are not possible?

Global Сainiao starts to track all parcels not earlier than in a few days after the moment they were sent. If after 5-7 days nothing has changed, you need to open a dispute in the online store and check the information about your parcel with the sender. The sooner you react and solve this problem, the greater is your chance to receive the parcel in time without delay.

What does this status mean: “the parcel is delayed” upon delivery?

This may mean that the postal service has already received information about the sending of your parcel, but it still has not received the parcel itself, in order to send it to the sorting.

In addition, on it’s way your package is being sorted not once, but two times. First it goes through the sorting procedure in China, and then goes to the sorting in the receiving country. Exactly these stages are responsible for the longest delays in the delivery of parcels.

You should also take into consideration that during the holidays the delay timing of your parcel on the sorting stages are extended only because of the high workload of post offices.

Global Cainiao sends parcels to almost all over the world, in more than 200 countries. Except countries closed to the transport and logistics posts, or countries engaged in military actions. It is logical that the fastest delivery will be to the countries neighboring China.

The Advantages of Global Cainiao delivery

  • One of the main advantages of the Global Cainiao company is the low cost of delivery.
  • The possibility to make an order with free shipping.
  • The service of informing the customers about the location of parcels (tracking service).

Why is shipping free?

In fact, the delivery is paid, simply the cost of your product is increased for the cost of shipping. The same product marked as "paid delivery" from another vendor will cost much cheaper. All because the shipping cost will not be included in the price of the goods.

When it comes to very cheap goods worth no more than one or two dollars, then we are talking about very small parcels that are sent not in boxes but in envelopes. These envelopes are determined as a gift at registration, and not as a commodity, for which you paid money.

On the one hand you might think that sending envelopes with free shipping is a very disadvantageous idea for those involved in transportation. But in fact it is not, because your parcel is not transported alone, but together with other parcels with paid services. In addition, one of the main secrets of the mass free delivery is a wholesale and combining of many small parcels into large shipments. That is why the practice of free shipping of small parcels is quite possible and perfectly implementable.
