Kindly assist me in tracking my parcel.I had placed an order on aliexpress and i received a tracking number from seller on the 9th May 2014, It reads as RB248778554CN, this is 10 days ago! The seller keeps telling me that he has already shipped the parcel! But i cannot trace this number. I try tracing this daily with failure at every attempt! Please can you assist me and advise me if this is a fraudulent number and transaction.
Thank You

Thank you for your advice ! How do i claim for the refund for the same?

Hi All,

i have seen many people in the internet asking when will they get the parcel that has mailed from outside india.
Applicable to many tracking sites and Couriers to International Couriers

For eg : aliexpress mail and others from China Air mail.

u can first track ur shipment here in china

http://track-chinapost.com/

Then

Many of us track the shippment using the indian site given below

track-chinapost.com/startairmail.php

But in most cases the Correct status report ends when the item is [b] sent to customs!!!! [b]

I ordered a shipment from china its reached INDIA on 5/5/2014 then send to custms on 16/5/14 then no status updates!!!

I was so frustrated i thought it was held in customs !!!!

If u see the status and send to customs and then nothing u can assume that after 1 week or less it sent to via Indian post

u can track your shippingin india post using the below addresss (Only for indias)

Rnet Tracking For indian Speed Post!!

http://services.cept.gov.in/RNetTracking/Track.aspx

If the customs have cleared ur shipment then its sent to ur location via india Post!!!

If u see detention in Customs , then u have to pay something but still no need to contact customs , they will collect it directly from u while delivering the item

I think this data will provide comfort to atleast someone

Thanks!!!

Hi,
Thank you so much for the detailed brief but still china post air mail is showing the same message,"China Post Air Mail has not recieved any parcel#RB248778554CN" and same message on indian post's website tracking too.So i guess its a fraud!

RB248778554CN is not a valid number. when did you get this number?

On 9th of may when i got a confirmation from aliexpress that my order has shipped !

the seller did not ship the goods on May 9. you can wait another 2 to 4 days and track it again in http://track-chinapost.com/startairmail.php. if still no result, then you should open a dispute to aliexpress and claim refund.
