China Post is not the only one that can deliver parcels purchased on AliExpress. An excellent alternative to China Post is Singapore Post. Naturally, no post office of another country, including Singapore Post, can carry out direct activities in China. For this purpose, there are so-called partner companies that are part of the Singapore Post Group of Companies.

According to statistics, Singapore Post is superior to China Post in delivery speed (only Hongkong Post delivers slightly faster) international postal items(MPO) and the quality of their tracking at all stages.

Many sellers of goods on the online retailer AliExpress offer Singapore Post as an alternative transport service, especially in cases where it is necessary to send goods prohibited from being sent by China Post. Most often, this delivery method requires payment from the buyer. If such delivery is marked as free, then you should choose it.

A clear advantage of delivering parcels using Singapore Post can be seen when placing orders on the eve of major holidays, since postal operators in China and Hong Kong are very overloaded during this period, so all their shipments are significantly delayed.

Characteristics of parcels accepted for delivery at Singapore Post

Singapore Post accepts MPO weighing up to 2 kilograms. According to the established rules, a small package cannot have dimensions smaller than 14x9 cm. Any of its sides should not be more than 60 cm, and the sum of all three dimensions cannot exceed 90 cm.

In addition, Singapore Post accepts for international delivery rolls whose dimensions fit into the following criteria:

LENGTH + 2*DIAMETER = no less than 17 cm and no more than 104 cm.

However, none of the dimensions should exceed 90 cm.

In addition to weight and dimensions, Singapore Post also sets restrictions on the contents of accepted MPOs. Although, if the seller offered this delivery method, it means that the product meets all the criteria and the buyer does not need to worry about it.

Delivery of goods weighing more than 2 kg, but not more than 10 kg, is carried out by Singapore Speedpost.

Types of IGOs

As with many other services, Singapore Post offers two types of IPOs: registered, with tracking capabilities, and unregistered, without tracking support.

Registered MPOs are assigned a special 13-digit track number by which it can be tracked.

An example of such a track: R*987123645SG.

Latin “R” is a sign of a registered item weighing up to 2 kg (small package). Instead of “*” there will be a letter of the Latin alphabet, indicating the territorial post office that accepted the parcel for departure. This is followed by a 9-digit unique digital code. At the end there are 2 Latin letters indicating the country of departure (in our case SG - Singapore).

• INFORMATION RECEIVED (This is not an acknowledgment of the physical receipt of the stated Registered Article) – means that information about the postal item has been received. Since delivery to the Singapore Post office is carried out by one of the partner companies, this status is set before the parcel actually arrives at the post office.
• Despatched to Overseas (Country code: **) – this status indicates that the MPO has actually been sent to the destination country. Instead of "**" there will be a 2-character code of this country. For example, RU – Russian Federation, BY – Belarus, UA – Ukraine.

There is no tracking within the customer's country on the Singapore Post website.

What are the Singapore Post tracking numbers?

Postal items come in two categories and the main criterion for separation is the weight of the item: up to 2 kg – small packages, over – parcels. Shipments from Singapore up to 2 kg may not be trackable, but Singapore Post always registers parcels and fast delivery of EMS items and gives them a tracking number.

International postal id consists of an alphanumeric series:

• RA123456785SG – for registered small packages from Singapore up to 2 kg, the first letter is always R, from the word Registered;
• CD123456785SG – Singapore Post parcel tracking number weighing up to 20 kg always begins with the letter C;
• EE123456785SG – EMS fast delivery starts with the letter E.

The 13-digit track number is encrypted: the type of item is in the first letter, the uniqueness of the number is confirmed by the second letter and all numbers. The last two letters indicate the country postal service, for example, RU is Russian Post, US is US Post, etc.

Singapore Post Tracking

In order not to worry about your shipment from Singapore and roughly understand where it is currently, you can track your parcel on the website with a Russian translation of all tracking statuses.

Conventionally, Singapore Post international shipments go through the following main stages:

• Reception of shipment at a Singapore Post branch;
• Processing and distribution at the sorting center;
• The parcel arrives at the place of international postal exchange, where it is prepared for further movement;
• Customs clearance in the sender's country;
• Export;
• Import;
• Customs clearance in the recipient country;
• Sorting of parcels by the receiving postal service;
• Delivery of the parcel to the recipient.

To track your parcel you need to take a few simple steps.
1. Go to the main page
2. Enter the track code in the field with the heading "Track postal item"
3. Click on the "Track parcel" button located to the right of the field.
4. After a few seconds, the tracking result will be displayed.
5. Study the result, and especially carefully the latest status.
6. Forecasted delivery period is displayed in the track code information.

Try it, it's not difficult ;)

If you do not understand the movements between postal companies, click on the link with the text “Group by company”, which is located under the tracking statuses.

If you have any difficulties with the statuses in English, click on the link with the text “Translate into Russian”, which is located under the tracking statuses.

Carefully read the "Track Code Information" block, there you will find estimated delivery times and other useful information.

If, when tracking, a block is displayed in a red frame with the heading “Pay Attention!”, carefully read everything that is written in it.

In these information blocks you will find 90% of the answers to all your questions.

If in the block "Pay Attention!" it is written that the track code is not tracked in the destination country, in this case, tracking the parcel becomes impossible after the parcel is sent to the destination country / after arriving at the Moscow Distribution Center / Item Arrived at Pulkovo / Arrived in Pulkovo / Left Luxembourg / Left Helsinki / Sending to the Russian Federation or after a long pause of 1 - 2 weeks, it is impossible to track the location of the parcel. No, and nowhere. Not at all =)
In this case, you need to wait for a notification from your post office.

To calculate delivery times in Russia (for example, after export, from Moscow to your city), use the "Delivery Time Calculator"

If the seller promised that the parcel would arrive in two weeks, but the parcel takes more than two weeks, this is normal, the sellers are interested in sales, and that’s why they are misleading.

If less than 7 - 14 days have passed since the receipt of the track code, and the parcel is not tracked, or the seller claims that he sent the parcel, and the status of the parcel “the item pre-advised” / “Email notification received” does not change for several days, this is normal, You can read more by following the link: .

If the status of the mail item does not change for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, this is normal for international mail items.

If your previous orders arrived in 2-3 weeks, and the new parcel takes more than a month, this is normal, because... Parcels go on different routes, in different ways, they can wait 1 day to be sent by plane, or maybe even a week.

If the parcel has left the sorting center, customs, intermediate point and there are no new statuses within 7 - 20 days, do not worry, the parcel is not a courier who is delivering the parcel from one city to your home. In order for a new status to appear, the parcel must arrive, unload, scan, etc. at the next sorting point or post office, and this takes much more time than just getting from one city to another.

If you do not understand the meaning of such statuses as Reception / Export / Import / Arrived at the place of delivery, etc., you can look at the breakdown of the main statuses of international mail:

If the parcel is not delivered to your post office 5 days before the end of the protection period, you have the right to open a dispute.

If, based on the above, you do not understand anything, read these instructions again, and again, until you are completely clear;)
