Omniva shipping on AliExpress – what is the delivery service
Omniva is a large, international logistics company based in Tallinn. The Omniva brand was formed in 2014, although the company’s history dates back to 1918. It was in that year that the Republic of Estonia established the state post office. Omniva provides parcel delivery services to all Baltic countries. Most parcels are transported to Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia.
Omniva has a huge number of postal terminals. But only in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. If you live in one of these countries, you can order delivery from AliExpress to a post office.
The delivery service Omniva cannot be selected on Aliexpress. But why then does the buyer see in the parcel tracker that this logistics company is transporting his order?
Many orders in the Chinese marketplace with the chosen delivery method AliExpress Standart Shipping do not go straight from China to the recipient’s country, including Russia. They end up in a transit country, which is Estonia. Of course, this increases the delivery time. But China makes extensive use of transit methods in order to save on transporting parcels.
There is no reason to worry about your parcel being in a transit country. Your parcel will be handled in Estonia by Omniva sorting centre and then loaded onto an air or ground transport. This is how your order will be delivered to the recipient’s country.
Thus, by placing an order with AliExpress Standard Shipping, a parcel can fly from China to Estonia, a transit country, be sorted at Omniva’s logistics centre and then shipped to the destination country.
How to track a parcel sent by Estonian Post
Parcels sent from Aliexpress by Estonian Post can be tracked on OMNIVA’s official website. In other words, the parcel is coming to you with a valid tracking number, and you can follow its movements throughout its journey.
But in the experience of buyers, on the site of Aliexpress in the order details, the parcel is often tracked better than on the website of the Estonian Post or other services for tracking numbers.
And there are two reasons. First, Aliexpress sees that the parcel is going by courier service 4PX in China and takes the tracking status from the site of the service. And on the site itself, the tracking is updated slightly slower than in the order details. Secondly, the OMNIVA website has a slightly delayed update of the tracking statuses.
This is why it is safe to track the parcel in your account on Aliexpress.
How do parcels from Aliexpress go by Estonian Post?
The parcel is sent by courier service from the seller to Hong Kong, then arrives in Tallinn and from there it is forwarded to the destination country.

How long will it take for the parcel to arrive
When the parcel leaves Estonia and arrives in your country, it will be picked up by a government service. Then the parcel is delivered to the local post company. There are no exceptions if you have chosen the standard shipping method AliExpress Standard Shipping.
Delayed order in a transit country can take a few days, a maximum of a week, depending on how quickly will pass the sorting, how busy logistics centres Omniva. If you see the “Has left the country of transit“, the waiting time may well be 2-4 weeks. A factor such as the destination region plays an important role.
