Tracking some packages.

forgotmyname

Checking on some packages purchased from Chinese sellers and found a few odd ones.

SpeekPAK item received by RM on the 18th June but not yet delivered. Will RM be able to track this if i give them a call?
Wonder if they couldnt fit it through the letterbox and left no card? Hope this has not been returned.

Now a couple of really strange ones...  Tracking shows LVS, clicking that shows UBI tracking.
Package 1,  Guangzhou 14/06.  Shenzen Hub16/06.  Alashankou 21/06.   then it gets strange
Transport to DSTK? 26/06.   Arrived in Brest 04/07 Belarus or France? Arrived in MALA 05/07? India?
no more info after that?

Package 2, Started in Shanghai 04/06 and a similar journey to the above but took longer to get to MALA arriving
there on 04/07   (LVS tracking code)

Package 3, Shanghai 19/06.  Alashankou 30/06, DSTK 04/07, Brest 11/07, MALA 13/07.  (LVS tracking code)

Expected delivery on the LVS codes extended right into August but curious if anyone knows what the
DSTK and MALA means?

Thanks

DSTK refers to Dostyk, Kazakhstan
Mala  = Małaszewicze, Poland
Brest will be Belarus
Your items will be delayed due to Covid - I believe these are shipping hubs
I presume with the lack of cargo capacity out of China, more items are traveling at least some of the way by railway which themselves will not be running at 100%

Thanks. At least that makes sense and the packages are not in Mala (India).   

Not delayed due to Covid as I have received items from the same seller ordered on the same day and weeks
later that arrived in less than 2 weeks. Delayed due to the choice of courier maybe why these take longer. 

The rest of the tracking is SpeedPAK and arrived in as little as 9 days. One item took 8 days before it started
tracking, that I put down to the sellers supplier.

But most are within the timeframe still except the one SpeedPAK item which RM have had for almost a month.

Can you track the SpeedPAK items? Will the local sorting office have more info than what is on my screen?

Thanks again.

This certainly was the case for some time, but there are no significant capacity shortages out of China currently.

With regards to SpeedPak I have seen comments on a parcel tracking website suggesting others have experienced similar tracking events, which they suggest are false.

I got several items from China yesterday that were apparently shipped in early April and have several things still outstanding from end of March . However I also got two packages from supposedly different sellers, but I suspect the same one, only ordered 8 days ago.

Parcels do some weird things if you follow the tracking. One I had bounced around Europe for a week before it eventually arrived in the UK.

I've seen an increasing number of LVS tracking numbers from Ali Express orders, and I cringe, because they're routed through Belgium, where they can sometimes sit for weeks before they get sent on to the UK.  One took a similar route to yours, by rail through Dostyk and Brest, but it did show up in the UK about a week later, after tracking reported "Due to many trains in Shankou, the speed of train operation slows down" and "Reasons for delay:the ATB of FCL will be sent to you within one working day, please pick-up the container after received the ATB".  Another LVS parcel is currently sitting in Liege, where it has been for three weeks, which is becoming increasingly more common.  Having said that, I had an LVS package arrive today which only sat in Liege for 5 days after departing China on June 15th, so service is definitely erratic.
