Know what to send before your supplier dispatches

Get your receiving instructions confirmed first. Ask the 1688 seller how many parcels they are sending, whether dispatch is split, and which domestic courier number goes with each parcel. Keep the order number and courier number in separate fields so the paid items can be matched to the physical parcel.

Check the parcel route using its packed size and contents

Start with destination country, postal code, address type, product description, packed dimensions and gross weight. Flag batteries, liquid or magnetic parts as soon as you know about them. If your seller has not packed the order yet, share what you know and mark the rest as an estimate. The route and quote can be confirmed once the packed parcel is measured and the contents are reviewed.

Keep the China delivery and overseas shipment connected

Save the seller’s domestic tracking number and the international shipment reference separately. The seller’s courier delivers to the China receiving point. A separate international reference may follow after export handoff. When a scan looks wrong, send both references and the latest event, so support can identify which leg needs attention.

Check a paid parcel

Compare actual and dimensional weight for one finished parcel, then prepare a route review request. Use the divisor supplied for your proposed service.

Common questions

Can I use a 1688 shipping agent if I paid the seller myself?

Yes. Start by confirming the parcel receiving instructions and route fit. Share the paid order details and each domestic tracking number so the incoming parcel can be identified.

Can you quote shipping if my seller only gave me the item weight?

You can start a review with an estimate. A usable parcel quote needs the packed outer dimensions and gross weight because the box and its volume can change the billable weight.

Do I need the seller’s domestic tracking number to check a route?

You can request a precheck before dispatch. Add the domestic tracking number after the seller ships so the parcel can be matched to your order.

Does a route precheck guarantee that my parcel can ship?

A precheck identifies missing information and possible restrictions. Route confirmation depends on the declared contents, final packed measurements, destination and the applicable carrier rules.
