I have reopen a new account at AliExpress, and now September of 2025, I did place three small orders.
I have two tracking numbers of Cainiao economy service.
At 2025 Bpost at Belgium, this is used as doorway for all incoming shipments to Europe.
Speaking of shipping tracking statistics, from Mainland China it takes nine days so a parcel to appear at Bpost Global website.
Arrived in transit country/region : This translates EU side Import customs clearance it is completed at NETHERLANDS B.V. , two days later the parcel this will appear at Bpost.
Still its unclear of which partners Belgium Post - Bpost this using for within Europe transportation.

Cainiao economy service, this translates to Low priority shipping for Europe.
I am now crossing my fingers so to see my parcels delivered not later than in two weeks time (three as total).
I will update with news, as soon and my second tracking number ULxxxxxxxxBE this appear at Belgium.
Cainiao Estimated delivery ( due their website), this appears as two months time. :P
Now its time for real facts, now I am measuring the within Europe performance of these shipping partners collaboration. :)

Processing by bpost this now translates that your package this stay in a warehouse in Belgium, for ten days or more. :P
The Chinese move fast all packages at Belgium, but nothing moves with normal priority from there and on.

Here is the list of semi traceable shipping services.
Aliexpress Selection Saver (partially traceable)
Aliexpress Saver Shipping (partially traceable)
Cainiao Super Economy Global (partially traceable)
Cainiao Super Economy (partially traceable)
Cainiao Super Economy For Special goods (partially traceable)
From Greek people feedback, within EU you may expect one tracking update from EU importation site = Belgium Post (in my case).
And a final tracking update, when the parcel, this arrives at national Post organization of your country.
Local delivery attempt this is not traceable too.
I am not buying frequently from China, from the other hand, in the past twenty years, such parcel delivery services they seen worst days and better days.
Today I am monitoring three packages, all shipped with economy services.
And they were shipped with a week of time difference from its other.
I did also confirm that tracking information at Cainiao website, this might update once per day or slower.
Aliexpress website this has faster tracking information updates within China only, and they use this as excuse so to fill up your email box, with relative notes.
This system offers the wrong impression, that overseas the package this will continue to be tracked frequently.
The real purpose of these Aliexpress email notes, this is to keep customer focus at Aliexpress marketplace = Visit us and log in so to find tracking details. :P
If you waste cash at Aliexpress for unnecessary goods, Aliexpress this will be more than happy.
There is and a second dark side at Aliexpress, when you fill your basket at a specific seller, so you to check just the total cost .... Aliexpress will notify this seller and deliver to him your data.
Few hours later this Seller will start sending messages to you, with discount coupons, with useless offers for spending of 20 or 60 or 100 Euro Dollars at his shop.
When I am after getting anything from Aliexpress, I am extremely cautious to not click any link, without a good reason.
Especially when logged in, my activity this monitored with extreme passion from this website.
I did select from my account interface, Aliexpress to not record visited products history.
And they keep tracking anything I do, and now they using More to love suggestions banner, as permanent tool of influence. :P
There is and a third dark side at Aliexpress, I did buy a product two weeks ago, it went shipped, today this seller he is invisible because they are not selling products at my location.
I cannot even see, the listing that I did buy the products from. :P

Every day I do make and a fresh discovery... IPZ ? What is this ... International Post Center
It appears that they are several of them in North Europe, but with unknown location to us regular mortals.
An German person commented, seven months ago...
Buy several items, from different vendors as well, they get consolidated.
Choice or Bundle Deals almost have daily progress in tracking, while single items last longer and may be stuck in an IPZ in Germany for three weeks.
The final carrier is Hermes or Deutsche Post.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Another undocumented thing, this is Cainiao icons next to tracking code.
Yes you may understand of what a airplane this is, and or of how a Car this looks like.
But what about the anchor? as this is the indication of a long wait.
I am assuming that this its not a boat, its some sort of commercial sea port (warehouse).
This is the location that all packages gets stored, after the first in European soil, customs clearance.
Cainiao has two options of economy shipping, which the seller can use.
Cainiao Super Economy Global
Cainiao Super Economy
Its one of the above choices this has an impact, at the actual route within Europe.
I have two tracking codes, Cainiao Super Economy
And one tracking code, Cainiao Super Economy Global
Cainiao Economy shipping this is a test of human patience, and always will be. :P

Dear readers, it’s impossible for me, having or getting all details of how its local post office organization within EU, this will handle tracking and delivery of these packages.
I can only deliver feedback from Greece.
At the Greek postal service, for as long such a package with partially traceable Belgium code, this is not within our borders.
Tracking system report = Unknown code / No tracking history
When Greek postal service receives the actual parcel, tracking code information this changes to blank text, without nag message as not be found.
This hilarious way of digital tracking verification, blank text, it does confuse and us Greek citizens and also any international tracking system.
As minimum we would expect, Greek postal service information this be in the format of, a date stamp with the message = Arrival in Greece.
But we do not get even that.
I will speculate here, that Belgium post this has sign individual agreements, with its European country, and final destination tracking details presentation this is not standardized.
ELTA Greek postal service, this selected the most unorthodox method, as indication of tracking code acceptance to Greece.
No date stamp and blank text.
About me, I have today complete awareness, all of my three packages, these shipped due a week of time difference from its other.
They are all delivered at the Greek postal service.
This translates that within EU transportation, this is not a major factor at causing delay.
Within EU transportation this might take ten days the most.
The greater evil, this is today the speed of your local postal company, and of how fast this processing and distributing economy / low priority mail.
The only way for speeding up delivery, this is of you being in person at the local post office, so to check if you have any undelivered mail.
Because neither your local post man, he will handle low priority mail as this be of regular priority mail.
Internal post office regulation, this might dictates, low priority mail, this be delivered every two weeks, if the citizen does not have other mail to receive.
And therefore, best gain of you being in person at the local post office, this is speeding up last mile delivery, within a window of seven days.
Within Aliexpress web site, tracking section / and as soon your parcel this leaves from Bpost, it appears an estimate of delivery date.
Aliexpress this is well aware of delivery time statistics per county.
In conclusion, the expert shopper at Aliexpress, he should be aware and observe all these details, so to gain partial awareness of were its parcel might be. :P
Rough estimate of shipping VS destination.
China to EU, 10 days.
Belgium to EU member state, another 10 days.
Local post office organization, down to last mile delivery = two to three weeks.
This is how he come at a total, of a month time up to 45 days.
Golden advice for professionals working at electronics repairs, never order spare parts for an active project, by selecting economy shipping.
Only choose economy shipping, if your plan this is to restock items, when your own stock this starts running low.
Best way of you dealing with Aliexpress, this is of you thinking ahead and having the behavior of a warehouse manager.
