Hong Kong Post is the government postal service of Hong Kong, providing delivery of international mail and domestic correspondence for individuals and legal entities. It also provides express postal services and delivers EMS items. Hongkong Post's EMS delivery rates will be higher, but this is justified by the high delivery speed.

As a member of the Universal Postal Union, Hong Kong Post operates in accordance with the rules of the Universal Postal Convention, which regulates international postal exchanges between participants. An essential provision of this regulation is the prohibition on the carriage of certain items; Hong Kong Post has no right to forward such parcels. These include explosive, flammable or radioactive substances, as well as other dangerous goods, counterfeit and pirated products, items of an obscene or immoral nature, etc.

Types of Hongkong Post Tracking Numbers

Hongkong Post tracking

International postal tracking from Hong Kong can be a very useful tool for monitoring the movement of packages. Postal statuses will indicate at what stage the shipment is at.

The sender can receive a track number for tracking Hongkong Post mail upon registration at the post office. Or register the parcel remotely. But we must remember that electronic registration does not guarantee that the sender will send the parcel. In the first case, the physical transfer of the item occurs immediately, so information about the number of the postal item is entered into the tracking system very quickly and the recipient can immediately see the status of acceptance of the IPO for shipment.

Hongkong Post is an independent division of China Post. This carrier is very popular among sellers on AliExpress because it works much faster than the main Chinese carrier China Post. Sometimes it acts as the main free delivery option, and in some cases it is offered as an alternative method for an additional fee.

Depending on the type of cargo, all shipments are divided into 3 categories, each of which is sent by a separate division of Hongkong Post:

  • Hongkong Post Air Mail accepts small packages weighing up to 2 kg.
  • Hongkong Post Air Parcel is responsible for parcels weighing up to 10 kg.
  • If you need to send a parcel with a larger weight (up to 31 kg), then you should choose the Hongkong SpeedPost method.

In addition to weight criteria, there are also size restrictions for international postal items (IPO). So, for a small package it is necessary that its two dimensions (two sides) exceed 9 and 14 cm, but none of the sides should exceed 60 cm. In this case, the total value of all three dimensions (H+W+D) should not be more than 90 cm.

For parcels, a limit of 1.5 m is established for any of the dimensions, as well as the total value of all dimensions is 3 m.

When registering an IPO with Hongkong Post Air Mail or Parcel, the sender can, at his discretion, register it (in this case, tracking of the parcel along the entire route will be available) or refuse registration in order to save on delivery.

In the Hongkong Post service, all registered MPOs receive a special 13-digit track number, by inserting which into a special field on the website or (if the recipient is from the Russian Federation), as well as in the tracking form on, you can obtain information about the current status of the expected parcel.

The track numbers of registered items issued by Hong Kong Post have the following structure:

  • R*987654321HK - tracking number template for a small package weighing up to 2 kg.
  • C*987654321HK - tracking number template for parcels weighing from 2 to 10 kg.
  • E*987654321HK - tracking number template for EMS parcels sent by Hongkong SpeedPost.

The symbol “*” replaces the English letter (A-Z), which is part of the unique IPO number - a letter of the Latin alphabet that ensures the uniqueness of the number, taking into account the subsequent 9 digits. The final pair of letters “HK” is the international country code, in our case Hong Kong.

Parcel tracking statuses

All MPOs made through Hongkong Post receive the following statuses during the delivery process:

  • The item (С*xxxxxxxxxHK) was posted on 02/05/2016 and beign processed for delivery to the addressee [The parcel with the specified number arrived at the post office on 02/05/2016 and is being prepared for further delivery to the addressee].
  • Destination - “recipient country”. The item (С*xxxxxxxxxHK) left Hongkong for its destination on 09-02-2016 [Destination - “recipient country”. The parcel left Hong Kong for its destination on 02/09/2016].

Subsequent statuses are not displayed on the Hongkong Post website, but you can find them on the website of the “recipient country” or by using the form.

AliExpress states that orders sent by Hongkong Post Air Mail or Parcel services take from 15 to 50 days to arrive. During major holidays and other significant events, during which transport companies are overloaded, delivery times may increase.

Features of SpeedPost shipments

SpeedPost was established in 1973 and is part of the parent company Hongkong Post. His responsibilities include international courier delivery. SpeedPost has almost 2,000 points in Eurasia and more than two hundred delivery points located throughout the rest of the world. The company's services are used by many small and medium-sized businesses and individuals. Trust is earned through years of reliable work and high quality of services provided.

Particularly popular with this company is express delivery to large countries and cities, which is carried out by a team of professional couriers. The SpeedPost network is constantly growing, covering an ever larger territory. To make work more efficient, the company cooperates with the official postal companies of nine countries: Correos Post, La Poste, United States Postal Service, Australia Post, British Royal Mail, Korea Post, Singapore Post, China Post and Japan Post.

Hong Kong Post's Speed ​​Post division is part of the international EMS network that deals with express parcels.

SpeedPost's services for orders from AliExpress are offered by sellers exclusively as a paid primary or alternative delivery method. This is due to the very high cost of such shipments. In order not to be unfounded, we will give several examples of the cost of shipments to the Russian Federation:

  • A shipment weighing 1 kg will cost the customer $287
  • A parcel weighing 10 kg will cost $1,200 for a multipack and $1,430 for standard packaging.
  • A parcel with a maximum weight of 30 kg will cost $3216/$3630 per multipack/standard.

As you can see, this delivery is not affordable for everyone. But the company can justify such a high cost with very fast delivery. Such items are guaranteed to be delivered within 1 to 5 days. At the same time, all parcels receive an international track number, which, of course, is tracked without any problems.

The website resource makes tracking postal items convenient and fast. You can track your parcel from any country at any time. Hong Kong Post parcel tracking is available on the website. Hong Kong Post provides postal delivery services and is in great demand on the Aliexpress and TaoBao trading platforms.

Nowadays, more and more sellers prefer to work with Hong Kong Post rather than with a competitor. Hong Kong Post is less busy than China Post, which means shorter delivery times. This is especially true on the eve of major international holidays, such as New Year or Christmas.

It is very easy to track your parcel on the website; all you need is to know the unique identifier code. This is the so-called tracking number that is assigned to each parcel. For Hong Kong Post shipments with tracking capabilities, the tracking number looks like this: the first two letters RX or CX depending on the weight of the parcel, then nine digits are the postal item number and code, followed by the code of the sending country - HK. If the seller sends you a tracking number for tracking that ends in the Latin letters HK, then your parcel was sent by Hong Kong Post, which can positively affect the delivery time.

For very inexpensive and small items, sellers often offer free shipping without tracking. You can trust the seller and place the parcel without tracking, or you can choose a more expensive delivery method for greater confidence in the safety of your shipment.
