I expressed mailed a package to my son in China on 12/10/11 but he still has not received it. He has been told that the package is still in Beijing and they want money for tax on the package before they will deliver to him. He lives 4 hours away by plane...how do I pay for this? Can I pay by phone and if so is there anyone who speaks english who can help me?

Hi Renee,
i think it is much easier to ask your son to try to figure out a way to pay the tax, and i heard the tax should be paid by the receiver rather than the sender.

seems you have already found the information about your two parcels.
i think you what you can do is to wait.
or you may ask the sender to contact Chinese Post office.

Hi, I ordered a couple batteries for my phone and the tracking site says it has been delivered on 12/28/2011 but I never received the package. I contacted the US postal service and they said because it is a parcel shipped from China, that China has to start the investigation as to where my package is. The tracking number for my package is LK160420073CN. Thank you for your help.

Hi Kevin,
the tracking information shows that the package arrived in the United State on Dec. 28, 2011 and someone has already signed for the package. i think you still need to call the local post office in USA.

I have been waiting for a long time for these two packages to arrive to Canada, and i can not get a hold of the EMS or China Post, please advise what i can do to track it. I and the seller have been trying to find the location of the package but we have no luck. Please help.

Hi I have tried to locate a package sent from China in October. The tracking number is RR987274504CN. The seller states he has not received the item back and the tracking information states location at Guangzhou. How can I find out exactly where the package is, I just seem to be going around in circles....please help.

Since there i ssomething wrong with the tracking system of China Post, I'm not able to give the specific information of your parcel. Kindly advise you contact your local post office, and also ask the seller to check with his/her local office to find out the exact status of your parcel.

Could somebody please help me track my two parcels from china to the Belgium EE612460703CN & EE513030185CN,
According to the system they despatch China on the 23-24/12 and ever since there is no info.
Please help,

Hi Ran,
the tracking information shows that the two parcels departed from Guangzhou on 23 Dec. i think they are on the way to Israel, so just wait patiently.
