Hello,
How to track a parcel coming from China to Algeria once the package has leaved China?
Tracking sites show only data within China. Algeria packages will probably transit through Europe; but where can I get some details about my packages (I have several items received but others are on the way). Thank you for any info.

P.S.: Algeria is not available among "Global Tracking" countries.

It would have been nice to have at least 1 tracking number.
You could possibly track from here:

Hope this help.

Can you please try tracking these:
RF380950929SG
02831488642
02835129163
RS005683187CN
I can get some data (RS005683187CN, for example), but nothing beyond China and there is no way to get destination arrival date.
Thank you anyway.

For RF380950929SG
This is what I found:
09/03/2016 Dispatched to overseas (Country code: DZ)
No more tracking on this one.

For 02831488642
This is what I found:
2016-03-15 16:32,"Qingdao City post office mail advertising sales department reception center" you've got mail,
2016-03-14 13:29,Electronic information has been received,

This parcel is China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus and we can not track it anymore.

For 02835129163
This is what I found:
2016-03-18 04:57,Leave the "Yiwu international e-commerce branch of" next stop "Yiwu"

2016-03-18 00:50,"Yiwu international e-commerce branch of" you've got mail,
2016-03-15 09:09,Electronic information has been received,

This parcel is China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus and we can not track it anymore.

For RS005683187CN
This is what I found:
After tracking on 3 different sites: Data about your item not found.
If you just got this tracking number, you have to wait 2 to 5 days until it register into China mail system.
If the number was given to you more then 10 days, it is not in the China mail system yet. Meaning it was not put physically to the Chinese Post Office.
You could contact seller about this parcel RS005683187CN and ask him what is going on.

All your parcel can not be track anymore.

Hope the above information will be helpful to you.

RF380950929SG was received about 10 days ago.
02831488642 and 02835129163 were shipped 40 days ago but not received yet.
Can you guess why tracking those parcels is not reliable?
Any idea why no transit country is mentioned?
Thank you.

1. First of all, China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus is the cheapest way to send a parcel oversees. Some sort of a little bit more expensive than a normal letter. A normal letter can not be track.
2. The same thing apply to China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus, you will track to a certain point in China and after that you can not track it.
3. This does not mean you will not receive the parcel, not necessary, it means only that every Postal Office in the world will consider this just like a letter.
4. I do not know why you are saying that tracking those parcel are not reliable?
5. Most parcel are put into mail bag and goes to the other country Inbound mail. Example: So If a parcel goes from China to France to Spain and finally to Italy. Nobody along the way will open that bag because it is seal and Inbound for Italy.
6. Just a final note to you, China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus can take from 4 to 8 weeks before arriving at destination. Sometimes, not often it will take more time.

Hope the above information will be helpful to you.

OK thanks, so tracking is only valid within China, right?

Yes exactly!

Why some tracking numbers are only numerical (11 digit number)? According to Forum FAQ, those are neither Registered Air Mail nor EMS. Can you explain this kind of shipment? Thank you.

Those are China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus as explained to you in an above post.

Hope this is what your question was all about.

Hope this help.
