Common AliExpress tracking problems
Tracking number changed
AliExpress says this happens when orders are combined onto a shared shipping method that was upgraded to improve shipping time.
Local carrier issues a new last-mile number
After hand-off in the destination country, the local carrier may issue its own number or keep the S10 number; the local number can appear late and may not show earlier history.
No tracking updates for days
Cainiao says it can take up to 11 days after the seller ships for tracking to update. AliExpress allows a dispute from the 11th day after shipment if there is no tracking or the promised time passes.
Delivered but not received
AliExpress advises waiting or contacting the local post office/carrier in your country; find the carrier via global.cainiao.com.
