![]() Eight days to get to us after arriving into the country is very unusual for us. Our Yanwen parcel was delivered to our door on 23 December 2014, eight days after arriving into the country. When we were following the progress of our Yanwen parcel, the scan updates did come in as predicted and always updated at the exact same hour – 00:00 (Beijing time). All updates occur at midnight except for the first two scans. ![]() The pattern seems to be 4 days to reach Beijing Outward Office of Exchange/Processing Centre (ours took 5 days), dispatch the next day, handover to the airport following that day and arrival into destination country 3 days later. These scans changed some time between 15 Dec and 22 Dec where the dispatch date from Yanwen to the International Mail Centre in Beijing changed and the arrival into the country also changed: ![]() The below scan was noted down on 15 December 2014 (the day of the last scan for the parcel): Scans for Yanwen parcel with YC – YW Tracking Number However, the tracking scans of these Yanwen parcels did concern us when we saw that it updated in the same fashion as those Yanwen scans posted on forums online of other parcels that have gone through Yanwen. Parcels have always arrived coming through China Post, so we weren’t concerned about whether our Yanwen parcel will be delivered to us or not. Our Yanwen parcel was going to be delivered to China Post and shipped to us via the standard, untracked service of China Post Air Mail. The parcel then gets sorted and delivered by the destination country’s postal service. From then on, the Yanwen parcel will enter into the destination country like a regular parcel and cannot be tracked i.e. In other words, on the Yanwen website, the Yanwen parcel with the tracking number like YC123456789YW will have the final scan of arriving into the destination country and no further scans. These Yanwen tracking numbers are specific to the Yanwen tracking system, so they won’t be recognised as tracking numbers on the tracking systems provided on your country’s postal agency’s website. This tracking number can be tracked on Yanwen Logistics’ site and it provides scans for when the parcel arrives into Yanwen’s sorting centre to the moment it arrives into the destination country. Yanwen parcels come with tracking numbers that start with YC with nine digits in the middle and end with YW such as YC123456789YW. Yanwen Logistics is a postal mediator for postal agencies (like China Post or Hong Kong Post). The seller’s choice for our parcel came to be Yanwen Logistics. This means the seller would decide on the shipping method to use to ship the parcel. ![]() These are the ones we have had good experiences with and they have been very reliable and speedy for us.īut for one of our parcels, we hadn’t paid enough attention to the shipping method and confirmed the order with the shipping method as The Seller’s Choice. After we’re happy with the seller, we make sure we have the shipping method via either China Post Register Mail or Hong Kong Post. Like with all shopping we do, we are wary of good and bad sellers, looking carefully at seller feedback and ratings. The amount of products on display there, it’s even fun to just browse! We love it! This site contains Chinese businesses big and small selling their products. We’ve recently been shopping on the Chinese mega online shopping store, Aliexpress, where all sorts of things can be found here-from Apparel to Electronics, commercial appliances to novelty items. ![]()
