When your parcel is still in China, numerous statuses are already appearing in its tracking. Some of the statuses are quite obvious, they do not require a detailed explanation for users. Others raise either questions or concerns about whether everything is OK with my parcel. Let’s talk about “International mail export” status, which doesn’t really bring anything mysterious.
“International mail export” – what does it mean on Aliexpress?
Back in school, they learn terms like “export” and “import”. But, alas, not all adults can explain these concepts correctly. Therefore, first, let’s briefly understand the terms:
- Export – Goods leave the country, having necessarily passed the customs service of the state where the parcel was located;
- Import – Goods produced in one country are imported into another country.
That is, the status of “Export of International Mail” indicates that the parcel will soon be exported from China for shipment to the recipient’s country. In simple words, your order is at the border of China, namely at the international point of exchange. Soon the carriers in your country will accept and process the parcel, after which it will start moving through the buyer’s country. During tracking, the status may be shown as “Export of international Mail“.
Some buyers complain that the status hangs for 7-10 days. There is no need to worry about the delayed status. Because the parcel has to go through numerous formal procedures, including the paperwork. And there are thousands of such parcels, so it is not possible to process and process them all at once.
The status is standard for the popular service AliExpress standard shipping. You can choose this shipping method without any doubts, which is relevant for almost all products on Aliexpress. AliExpress Standard Shipping is a logistics company developed by the Alibaba Group specifically for the Chinese marketplace. Thanks to the emergence of the service, the speed of transporting parcels from China to Europe and America has increased significantly. And the number of problem parcels has decreased several times.
This status appears after Item Returned from Customs. The International Postal Export status may be displayed in your personal account for a long time. As the parcel is in the international office of exchange. The status may remain unchanged for 7 to 14 days. Sometimes (very rarely) the transport process may last up to 60 days.
During this time the parcel is going through different checks, getting to the disposal of Russian carriers. Once all the necessary documents have been processed, the parcel is allocated for dispatch to the final delivery point.
How long to wait for your parcel
If your order will be received by the carrier in the next few days, it can come to the recipient within 2-3 weeks. It all depends on your region of residence. If the parcel hangs for 5-7 days with the status “Export of International mail”, respectively, add another week to the wait. But a delayed order during export is still the exception rather than the rule.
