FAQ

Will incorrect zip codes affect parcel delivery?

Successful delivery in China requires that the Zip code matches the correct district. Minor inaccuracies at the street level usually do not affect delivery. However, if the Zip code points to a different city or district, it may cause delays or delivery failures.

Is it necessary to match the Zip code exactly to the street address?

It is not strictly necessary. Matching the Zip code to the district is generally sufficient. However, if you have the specific Zip code for the street or neighborhood, it can speed up the delivery process.

How can I ensure my Chinese address is accurate?

We recommend confirming the Chinese address directly with the recipient. Use the full and correct Chinese address and have the recipient verify it to avoid any errors.
