Statuses in Aliexpress are information about what stage your order or package is at. It is necessary to distinguish between statuses order(waiting for payment, payment verification, order processing) and statuses parcels(the parcel arrived at the sorting point, left customs, export, import). The order status is assigned to the order by the website itself and information about it can be seen in the order information. The status of the parcel is assigned by the post office and customs and is tracked on specialized websites.

We will look at both types of statuses and figure out what they mean.

Aliexpress order statuses

This order is awaiting your payment- Waiting for payment.

This status is assigned to the order immediately after clicking the Place Order button - until payment is made. The time given to the buyer to pay for the order is indicated below in the form of a countdown timer. If the order is not paid within this time, it will automatically close and change to Closed status.

Your payment is being verified– Aliexpress verifies your payment.

Immediately after paying for the order, the payment is sent for verification by the site, and the order status changes to Your payment is being verified. Payment verification usually takes 24 hours, after which it is time for the seller to send the order

– The seller is processing your order

The order status changes to The supplier is processing your order. The time for sending an order is set personally by the seller and is indicated on the product description page. In the order, the time allocated for sending is indicated in the form of a countdown timer. If the order is not shipped within the specified time, Aliexpress will cancel the order. If the seller does not have time to send the order at the specified time, you can extend the processing time by clicking on the " Extend processing time" located under the timer. If for some reason you change your mind about placing an order, click " Request order cancellation" located there. You can read more detailed information about canceling an order in our article “How to cancel an order on Aliexpress”.

The seller has shipped your order - the seller has sent your order.

The order receives this status after sending the order and entering the track number into the system to track it. A new countdown timer appears in the order, indicating how much time is left until the end of the Buyer Protection program on Aliexpress. Button Request to extend Purchase Protection allows you to extend the duration of the Program if, after 40 days, the order has not been delivered. Button Open Dispute allows you to open a dispute (dispute) if the arrived product turns out to be of inadequate quality or does not arrive at all

Tracking postal parcels sent by AliExpress sellers from China is not very interesting. And first of all, the lack of interest is explained by the incomprehensibility of the status of international shipments.

Let's figure out what is meant by incomprehensible inscriptions on sites for tracking IGO tracking codes (international postal items).

Parcel information received

AliExpress sellers often register parcels using electronic service. Therefore, receiving a tracking code on the order card does not indicate that the item is already with the postal carrier.

If the parcel has not yet arrived at the logistics company's branch, but it has already been registered by the sender in in electronic format, the status when tracking it will indicate that “Information has been received” about it. Sometimes it can take up to 7 days from the moment the parcel is registered until it actually arrives at the post office in China.

You can find information about tracking numbers on our website.

Parcel accepted

Another option: "Reception".

As soon as the seller or courier delivers the parcel to the logistics service, fills out all the necessary documents, including the customs declaration, the status of the shipment changes to “Reception”. IN additional information You can find out about the time and place of reception in the sender's country.

Left the parcel collection point

This means everything is fine - the shipment has begun its long journey to Russia.

On my way

Shipments are periodically registered at intermediate points - sorting centers. At such nodes postal service parcels can be reloaded from one mode of transport to another; in general, they are distributed along optimal main routes. Using such “control” points, the recipient can receive information that his order is still moving in the direction of Russia.

Arrival at MMPO

At MMPO (places of international postal exchange), items undergo customs procedures, inspection and registration, they are prepared for export from the sender's country. It is here that the dispatch (postal items grouped in boxes or large bags) is formed, intended for the MMPO of the recipient country.

Export

The “Export” status is assigned to shipments that have already been transferred to the carrier for delivery to the destination country. When sending goods from China, this status when tracking orders usually does not change for a long time. This is explained simply: when sending international shipments from China or Singapore, it is necessary to fill airplanes with a carrying capacity of 50 to 100 tons with mail.

There are other reasons for delays, for example, transit routes of flights, which imply the presence of one or more intermediate points during the flight. In each of them there will be delays in unloading/loading parcels.

During the Export process, the parcel will not be tracked.

It is believed that export takes 1-2 weeks, but it happens that the procedure takes up to 2 months. Although there is a recommendation, if this process is delayed, to submit an application to search for the parcel. If you order from AliExpress, you need to ask the seller to sort out the situation. You will either get your money back or extend the Buyer Protection Period in order to still find your lost items.

Import

This status appears only when the shipment is registered by the postal operator in the MMPO in the country of destination, that is, at the place of international postal exchange already on the territory of Russia.

Boxes (bags) with many parcels from the transit section of the aviation department are sent to MMPO. About a day after arrival at the center, the containers are opened and all shipments are registered, which is displayed on websites for tracking tracking codes. By the way, international parcels arriving in Russia are already expected at the centers - information about them is received before arrival from the country of departure.

There are MMPOs in Moscow, Vladivostok, Orenburg, St. Petersburg, Bryansk, Kaliningrad, Samara, Petrozavodsk and other cities. The choice of the city where the parcel will arrive depends on which flight was best to send it from China, as well as on the degree of congestion at the MMPO.

Sometimes it seems more logical to send a parcel to Moscow for a Moscow recipient, but it is sent to Bryansk, and then transported by land to the destination city. And, perhaps, the order will reach the recipient faster, due to periodically low throughput Moscow center.

Transferred to customs

After registration with the MMPO, parcels are transferred for processing to the Federal Customs Service. They then go through customs transit, which means they are packaged by type and transferred to a specific location. All shipments pass through an X-ray machine, where an operator views their contents. By the way, dogs also work at customs - they sniff each parcel for drugs or spice.

If at least some suspicion arises, the parcels are opened by the operator in the presence of the responsible person - a customs officer. Reasons for opening:

  • availability (although it is not clear how an X-ray can be used to determine that the parcel contains counterfeit products);
  • assumption that there are goods for commercial use(for example, a batch of nail polishes);
  • suspicion that prohibited goods are being sent (weapons, drugs, chemicals, plant seeds, etc.).

If the parcel has been opened, an inspection certificate will be attached to it. Two operators work with one customs officer. Customs performs its functions around the clock.

Detained by customs

One of the most unpleasant statuses.

Real people work at customs, not robots, so they carefully look at information about the goods being sent. The low cost of assessing the MPO, if there is a smartphone inside, will immediately lead to suspicions that the seller is trying to deceive customs. The same thing, if there is simply no information about the shipment, such packages are often opened at customs.

Customs officers know how to use the Internet, so they can manually check the real cost of the goods, perhaps using the information on the MPO, in which store it was purchased.

Still very important point: checks whether purchases made by the same person have been exceeded, currently set at 1000 euros. The weight limit of the goods is also taken into account; it should not exceed 31 kg. If the limits are exceeded, then a customs document is attached to the parcel. receipt order for payment of 30% of the cost of the goods. You can receive a shipment at Russian Post only after paying the customs fee.

All of the above explains why goods periodically get stuck at customs: FCS employees need time to unpack suspicious goods, check the real value and other procedures.

Issued by customs

After inspection by the customs service, the items are sent to Russian Post for further forwarding to the recipient. Where exactly in this moment The location of the MPO can be found out from the post office index, which is written next to the next status of the item.

From the moment of transfer postal service You can roughly calculate the arrival time of your order, taking into account the average delivery times for items across Russia.

Arrived at the sorting center

Traveling across Russia, parcels pass through numerous sorting centers, where optimal main routes are determined. Numerous items are sorted and sealed in large boxes to prevent damage and loss.

Speed ​​of MPO transfer across the territory Russian Federation due to many factors, including:

  • travel by land or air;
  • frequency of flights towards the destination city;
  • the degree of load on mail planes (if the load limit is exceeded, the item waits for the next flight);
  • other.

There may be more than one sorting center along the route. After the MPO is registered at the regional sorting center, you can safely wait for the parcel for 1-2 days. And you don’t have to wait for a notification in your mailbox. By presenting your documents and tracking number at the post office, you can ask to check whether the shipment has arrived. In any case, there are slight delays on tracking sites, including due to the fact that local postal operators may delay the registration of newly arrived mail at the office.

Submission

Sometimes parcels are sent to the wrong place at sorting centers. Another option is that the AliExpress seller confuses something when writing the recipient’s address. Most influential wrong index, but the name of the city, region, and the addressee’s last name do not have much influence.

After the MPO arrives at the wrong address, post office operators issue a “Forward” coupon and send the mail to the addressee. This is not terrible, but it greatly lengthens the travel time of items.

Came to the place of delivery

After the local post office employees register the MPO, they issue a notice, which the postman takes to Mailbox to the addressee. The presence of this notification speeds up the process of receiving the parcel.

If there is no notice (for example, the recipient did not wait for the postman after seeing the status change on the tracking website), then the post office operator will print it again. You need to have documents and tracking code with you.

Parcel delivered

Another option: “Deliver to the addressee.”

The parcel was issued to the recipient at the post office indicated in the status.

You can track your parcels either on or in, which is installed in the browser. Take advantage of a convenient tool that allows you to control the movement of your orders from the moment they are sent from China until they are received.

If information about the goods sent to the MPO is missing or does not correspond to the actual information, this significantly increases the time spent on processing shipments, since there is a need to conduct a customs inspection and document its results.

Submission

The parcel was sent to the wrong zip code or address, an error was discovered and the parcel was redirected to the correct address.

Import international mail

The operation of receiving the item in the recipient's country.

All mail arriving on the territory of the Russian Federation from air flights begins its journey at the aviation postal department (AOPP) - a special postal warehouse at the airport. Within 4–6 hours, shipments from the aircraft arrive at the AOPP, the containers are registered, and their integrity and weight are checked. Mail is registered in an electronic database. During registration, the barcode is scanned, data is entered about where the container is addressed (for example, MMPO Moscow), from which flight it arrived, about the country and date of formation of the container, etc. The time of these operations can be increased from 1 to 7x days due to the limited capacity of the AOPP.

The next operation after export from the country of origin, which is reflected on the website when tracking the shipment, is import into the destination country. Import information appears after the shipment is transferred by the carrier to the postal operator of the destination country. Operation “Import” means that the shipment arrived on the territory of Russia and was registered. International shipments arrive in Russia through the international postal exchange place (IMPO). There are several MMPOs in Russia: in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Orenburg, Samara, Petrozavodsk, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Bryansk. Choosing the city where exactly to go international shipment depends on the sender's country. The choice depends on the availability of regular flights and free carrying capacity in a particular direction.
