About China Post
China Post is the national post of China. Its small packet and ePacket services carry most of the light parcels that leave the country.
When to use China Post
Use China Post for light, low-value goods when cost matters more than time. Pay for the registered service if you need tracking to the door.
We book China Post as part of our postal packets service. The lowest-cost way to send a parcel under 2 kg from China, by ePacket, China Post, Hong Kong Post or Singapore Post.
