If this is your first time ordering on AliExpress, you may have questions about delivery statuses. Tracking the movement of a parcel is now possible even on the marketplace itself.
The statuses have one disadvantage – they are written in a complicated, official language that the average buyer can’t understand. So it’s not surprising that many customers wonder what “Arrived at the delivery office” means on AliExpress. In fact, there’s nothing complicated about this offer. This status is a nice notification to buyers.
What does “Arrived at the shipping office” mean?
When you see this notification, you can be sure that the ordered item is in the post office of the postal operator, from where you need to pick up the parcel or it will be delivered by courier. In other words, the parcel has reached its final destination.
How true is the status? In 99% of the cases the status is correct – that is, the parcel is really at the post office. However, it is possible that you may not be able to pick up your order at the post office on the day the status appears. When a lot of parcels arrive at the post office, the staff need time to sort them out. In other words, to put the parcel pile in order. But status can be assigned as soon as a pile of parcels, including yours, arrives at the post office. On the second day of the status, it is very likely that it will not be difficult to pick up the parcel.
Do I have to wait for a delivery note? It is your choice. Post office staff may not refuse your parcel if you don’t receive it. Simply show your passport, fill in the form provided and then collect the goods.
To some extent, the status of “Arrived at the delivery office” on AliExpress is a notification. After all, the original purpose of a postal notification is precisely to notify the buyer that he needs to collect the item. In the not too distant past, some customers could not receive a parcel without a notice – they were simply refused. Today, the likelihood of that happening is almost nil.
