How to effectively check international parcel and logistics status: a comprehensive guide from shipment to receipt

In the context of increasingly frequent cross-border e-commerce and international trade, knowing how to check the status of international packages is an important skill for every seller and buyer. This article will systematically introduce various parcel query methods, including proactive query of customer information, skills in using foreign-related databases, and tracking methods of international postal parcels, to help users better understand parcel transportation information and precautions.

Identify the authenticity of active inquiry customers

In foreign trade e-commerce, when communicating with customers, pay attention to distinguishing the authenticity of proactive inquiry customers. The following aspects can be used as reference:

1. Email subject: Professional inquiries usually contain keywords such as “inquiry”, “offer” or product name.
2. Content specificity: Professional buyers will be very specific in their descriptions of the products they want, use industry terminology, and ask questions relevant to their industry.
3. Completeness of contact information: Sincere buyers usually leave complete contact information, including company website address and email address.
4. E-mail address review: Professional buyers generally use company domain emails. If you are self-employed, you need to be careful with commonly used email addresses such as gmail and hotmail.
5. Web address verification: Pay attention to the domain name suffix in the customer’s email and visit the relevant website to verify its authenticity.

It is recommended that customers fill in the customer information form to understand their credit status before in-depth negotiations.

How to query the global trade database

For finding international market information for a product, the United Nations Global Trade Database is a valuable tool. Users can query the import and export data of various products in various countries around the world from 1962 to 2010. These data include:

• The import and export quantities and amounts of each country.
• Main exporting and importing countries for each product.
• Query major trading countries and regional markets by sorting trade amount.

For example, if you query the HS Code of lead-acid battery as 850710, you can quickly obtain relevant data.

Check China’s major exporters and manufacturers

Alibaba and the Canton Fair Online are effective tools for searching for major exporters and manufacturers in China. Users can obtain information through the following methods:

• Alibaba: Visit its homepage to learn about suppliers’ export products, regions and amounts.
• Online Canton Fair: Search for suppliers via specific URLs and obtain detailed export and customer information.

In addition, when querying, it is recommended to set a minimum trade amount threshold to ensure the validity and representativeness of the results.

Postal Express Package Inquiry Process

Postal Express Package Query is a convenient service that helps users track the location and status of packages. The query process is as follows:

1. Get a tracking number: This number is usually provided on the shipping receipt or email.
2. Visit the courier company website: Most courier companies provide online parcel tracking services, and users only need to enter the tracking number.
3. Enter and query: Enter the query number in the corresponding query field to check the status and location of the package.
4. Subscription Notification Service: Some courier companies provide status update notification services.

Notes

When checking international small parcels, users need to understand that there may be delays in the query status and ensure that the waybill number entered is accurate. If the status has not been updated for a long time, you need to contact postal customer service for more information.

Check the destruction status and claims of international parcels

If an international package is destroyed during transportation, users should check the status of the package in a timely manner. Here’s how to check for damaged packages:

• Contact the shipping company: Provide the tracking number to ask for the latest status of your package.
• Official channel tracking: Find out about your package through the customs or postal service’s online tracking tool.

If it is confirmed that the package has been destroyed, the user needs to retain relevant evidence and contact the transportation company to make a claim.

International parcel inquiry from South Korea to China

For users who purchased goods from South Korea, they can check by using the tracking number to visit the website of Korea Post or China Post. If the status is abnormal or cannot be queried, it is recommended to contact the seller’s customer service or logistics service provider in time.

Conclusion

Through the explanation of the above various query methods and processes, users can more efficiently track international parcels and grasp the logistics status, so as to improve the success rate and user experience of cross-border transactions. Whether in choosing the right database or in actual parcel tracking, following the corresponding processes and techniques can effectively reduce transportation risks and ensure smooth transactions.
