The first thing to do after selecting the product, you need to select the mail on Aliexpress to which the product you purchased will be sent. A large number of different postal services can deliver a parcel from China to your city, but it all depends on which city the shipment will be sent to. And it also depends on whether you want to receive a parcel delivered directly to the address by courier or just pick it up from the post office.

At the moment, all parcels sent from the Aliexpress trading platform must be sent with a tracking number. Usually, the tracking number is given a few days after the seller sends your product, but it happens earlier. What is a tracking number? This is the number by which you can track the parcel and its movements.
