About Cainiao
Cainiao is the logistics network of the Alibaba Group and the backbone behind AliExpress shipping. Rather than owning every truck and plane, Cainiao coordinates a smart-logistics platform that links warehouses, sorting hubs, airlines, customs brokers, and local delivery carriers around the world. When you choose AliExpress Standard or Saver shipping, Cainiao consolidates the parcel in China, arranges international line-haul, clears customs, and then hands it to a destination carrier for final delivery. In the United States that last mile is typically completed by USPS or a regional last-mile courier. Cainiao operates international hubs and dedicated flights to speed up cross-border e-commerce. Note that PackageTrackNow is an independent tracking aggregator, not Cainiao or Alibaba; it merges Cainiao's scans with the final carrier's so you can follow the whole shipment from a single page.
Cainiao Services & Delivery Times
Cainiao powers several AliExpress and cross-border shipping options, including:
- AliExpress Standard Shipping - the main tracked economy service for most orders, handed to the destination post or last-mile carrier.
- AliExpress Saver / Simple - the cheapest, slowest option with lighter tracking for low-value items.
- Cainiao Super Economy - an ultra-low-cost line for small, light parcels.
- Premium / expedited - faster services using Cainiao's dedicated capacity and partner integrators.
- Warehousing and fulfillment - overseas storage that enables quicker local dispatch on select products.
The seller or buyer selects the service at checkout, so both tracking detail and delivery speed differ noticeably from one order to the next.
Cainiao Tracking Number Format
Cainiao and AliExpress tracking numbers most often begin with the letters LP followed by a long run of digits, for example LP00123456789012. Some orders instead ride on a postal S10 number ending in a country code such as CN, for example LX123456785CN. Once a US-bound parcel is passed to USPS, a USPS number starting with digits like 9400 or 9261 takes over the last mile. Enter the number exactly as shown in your AliExpress order details, without spaces. If the LP number stops updating after the parcel reaches the destination country, look for the final-carrier number to follow local delivery.
Cainiao Delivery Schedule
Delivery time depends on the service chosen at checkout. AliExpress Standard Shipping to the United States commonly takes about 1 to 3 weeks, while Saver and Super Economy options can take several weeks. Premium and expedited services are faster. The journey includes consolidation in China, international line-haul, and customs clearance, after which USPS or a regional carrier completes delivery in a few more days. Major sales events and customs backlogs can extend these estimates.
Tips for Tracking Cainiao
For smoother Cainiao and AliExpress tracking:
- Use the number in your order - the LP code in AliExpress order details is the most reliable starting point.
- Expect slow early scans, as economy parcels can sit in consolidation before the first movement is recorded.
- Follow the handoff to the destination carrier and switch to that number for the last mile.
- Mind the buyer-protection window shown in AliExpress if a parcel is running late.
- Open a dispute through AliExpress rather than contacting Cainiao directly for lost or stuck orders, since the marketplace mediates buyer protection.
