Air mail

Asked by Berryhill | 5/18/2020 10:11:56 AM

Why do packages still take 20-60 days after leaving China to still reach the US? My tracking number is LY176482946CN and I know it’s being shipped in air mail, but why does it still take so long when air mail shouldn’t take longer than a few days even with the virus occurring.

Hi Berryhill,

Parcels are handled in bulk as part of a mail stream of many items. Your package gets moved with hundreds or thousands of other mailpieces at a time. This makes things much slower.

Hi, my registered mail with the tracking number RD595774625CN should be from China to Canada.
However, when I track the mail, it shows the destination to be Hong Kong. The sender’s address label is correct and her receipt of sending the mail is also written as Canada. What has happened? Is Hong Kong just a transit location or what? Thank you.
