Aliexpress Track Number Decoding

16.07.2023

Almost everyone knows that when you buy on Aliexpress, your order is assigned a unique identifier or track number. This number allows you to track your order from the moment it is sent from China to the moment it is received.

Since AliExpress co-operates with a huge number of delivery services tracking numbers are also a large number. In this article, some of the most popular tracking numbers will be discussed.

AliExpress tracking number letter decoding

The number usually starts with two letters.
The first of them serves as an indication of the type of shipment.

“A” – parcels with a total weight of up to 2kg (not insured)
“V” – registered parcel up to 2kg (insured).
“R” – registered parcel up to 2kg.
“E” – EMS delivery (more than 2kg)
“C” – simple parcel over 2kg
“L” – airmail delivery (up to 2kg).

The second letter stands for the method of dispatch of the order:

A, B – delivery by airmail up to 2kg
T – air envelope
C – delivery by air parcel post
R – delivery by railway or sea transport
P – 1st class delivery

Also in some track numbers you may see such designations as:

EE – parcel will be delivered by EMS via transit point in China.
LM – sent by ePacket
EV – sent by EMS

The last letters displayed in the track number indicate the country where the parcel is coming from.

Some of the most common letters are:

CN – parcel is coming from China
HK – parcel is from Hong Kong
