Let us tell you all the information you need about this shipping method. The method is relatively new and many buyers on AliExpress have their doubts, but they’re wrong!
Hello, Can you tell me what kind of delivery CN_OVERSEA_GD. Where is the best place to track parcels by track number and where to receive them?

Reply to Nik: Recently, Aliexpress trading platform users have encountered a new delivery type, designated in the order as CN_OVERSEA_GD. A huge number of customers of the platform’s shops have no idea what CN_OVERSEA_GD shipping is, nor which logistics company this type of forwarded goods belongs to.
The new type of delivery from Aliexpress implies forwarding of ordered goods with the help of logistics companies DPD or KSE. These are courier services that deal with delivery to cities in Europe. The employees distribute the parcels which are brought into the country by Cianao. When the goods ordered arrive at one of the Cianao branches in Europe, the employees of DPD or KSE receive the parcel and deliver it to the addressee.
CN_OVERSEA_GD – what’s shipping on Aliexpress
The delivery method became available on the Chinese marketplace in mid-2021. Looking at the acronym itself, it’s hard to know what kind of company will be responsible for shipping a parcel to China.
When CN_OVERSEA_GD is selected, a major Chinese logistics company, Cainiao, will be responsible for transporting the parcel within China. The company’s full name is Cainiao Smart Logistics Network Limited. It is a joint venture, partly owned by the Alibaba Group (actually Aliexpress). Cainiao is headed by Jack Ma, the billionaire and founder of the Alibaba Group.
We guess you’ve already guessed why the CN_OVERSEA_GD shipping method is available on Aliexpress. Cainiao’s largest shareholder, Alibaba Group, handles the shipping of the order across China. So you can compare the shipping method with AliExpress Standard Shipping, which is also the brainchild of Alibaba.
Advantages of shipping CN_OVERSEA_GD
When choosing this shipping method, you can be sure of the shipping company. As mentioned above, Cainiao is a huge enterprise owned by Alibaba. Also advantages of shipping CN_OVERSEA_GD:
- Courier delivery of the parcel to your door;
- Cainiao’s partners involved in transporting orders across Europe and the US include large and trusted companies;
- Tracking packages on the official website Cainiao, when the parcel in Europe or the U.S. – on the site of the local courier service.
Delivery time
When you are choosing CN_OVERSEA_GD on AliExpress you should be aware that express delivery is not implied. As a rule, parcels go to the capital, then they are assigned to a local courier service. Buyers report that the waiting time for a parcel may well be 30-60 days.
How parcels are delivered in the destination country
CN_OVERSEA_GD involves transporting the parcel to the destination country by Cainiao. The parcel is then handed over to one of two companies: DPD or CSE, which offer courier services.
- The CSE (Courier Service Express) is a parcel and freight forwarding company with operations in 218 countries. Delivery is made by its own fleet of vehicles. KSE has been operating since 1997, delivering around 10 million parcels a year.
- DPD (“Dynamic Parcel Distribution”) is a transport company founded in France in 1977. It processes more than 5 million parcels every day. The company’s services include DPD Express (the fastest delivery), DPD Classic (standard method of delivery), DPD ONLINE EXPRESS (cooperation with online shops) and others.
Where do I get my parcel?
DPD or CSE are courier services that bring mail to the addressee’s home. Before the CN_OVERSEA_GD parcels are delivered, the couriers call the owner of the goods. The recipient will then have to go down and meet an employee of the logistics company to collect the order.
Alas, the buyer can not know in advance which courier service will take care of his order. There is no point in contacting the seller for this information. Only when the parcel arrives in the recipient country, a courier service is arranged at the warehouse to transport it to the recipient’s city.
Parcels are delivered to the buyer’s door. You will receive an SMS message with the date and time when the courier will arrive. You can adjust the delivery date by calling the courier service.
Tracking CN_OVERSEA_GD items
CN_OVERSEA_GD is tracked by a special combination (track number), which indicates which logistics company is picking up/delivering the goods from Cianao to your country.

Delivery feedback CN_OVERSEA_GD
This is not the first time I’ve received parcels from China by this service. This is not the first time I’ve received parcels from this service. Tracked the order on the site “Whereposhka”. Got my parcel quickly, box was neat, no dents or other problems. The only thing I didn’t understand was whether they have a pick-up service and how to use it.

Terrible delivery. There is no information from the tracking number about where my parcel is, when I will receive it. It changes all the time. I waited 2 months for my order, even though I ordered from a warehouse in Russia. This is the first minus of this logistics company.

Second – the couriers did not specify any delivery day or time. Called on the day of receipt and simply put the fact that the courier is at home, come out and take it. It was on Tuesday at 3 pm. No matter what, we are also human beings and work, who sits at home on a weekday? But no one cares, as the courier told me “you may not pick up. It would have been better if they had sent it by post as before.
Great delivery service. I didn’t have to wait long, no more than two weeks, which is already a big plus. The courier brought the parcel home. Called before arrival to check possibility of delivery, which is very nice. Thought that receiving will be at the post office, but no. Carried it home. The service is super, the couriers are punctual and polite, or so I thought.
