About Hong Kong Post
Hong Kong Post is the postal service of Hong Kong. Shenzhen borders Hong Kong, so parcels from our warehouse reach its mail centre by truck.
When to use Hong Kong Post
Use Hong Kong Post as a second route when China Post is slow or does not accept the goods.
We book Hong Kong 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.
How it works
- 01
Your goods arrive at our Shenzhen warehouse. We count them and check them against your order.
- 02
We weigh, measure and pack the shipment, and we prepare the export papers.
- 03
We book Hong Kong Post on our account and send you the tracking number.
Weight and price
The post charges by the actual weight in grams. A small packet can weigh up to 2 kg, and the length, width and height together must not exceed 90 cm. See the small packet guide for the size rules.
Tracking
A postal tracking number has 13 characters: two letters, nine digits and a two-letter country code. A Hong Kong Post number ends with HK. A number that starts with R is registered and is tracked to delivery. See how to track a package from China.
