Complete China Post Tracking Info Meaning

Each day, I got many messages from people all over the world saying that they feel hard to understand the meaning of China post tracking status as all of them are shown in Chinese. And although there is a translation tool which enables them to translate it into other target languages, it seems not to work so well sometimes either as you will see odd translations which make you feel more confused.

At first, I would explain every China Post tracking info in detail to every person who contacted me and do not understand Chinese but still want to figure out it in English. But soon I realized that this is not a long term business to do as it will occupy lots of my time in doing the same thing repeatedly. Therefore, I start thinking if there is any good way to help people try to understand tracking info from China post by themselves.

After a short period time thinking, an idea did come into my mind. And that is to make a list of all typical China post tracking info in both Chinese and English for people to refer to. By this way, every person can grasp each China Post tracking info terms by themselves.

So, in the past few days, I have collected and analyzed 1,000 China Post international packages tracking info obtained from TrackingMore data system. Below example shows typical China post tracking info that would appear when tracking China post parcels.
