Tracking answers

Why is my China shipment tracking not updating?

Short answer

China shipment tracking often pauses for 24-48 hours during warehouse handoff, carrier pickup, customs review, or line-haul transfer. Recheck the tracking ID, last event, carrier, and destination; if there is still no update after 48 hours, contact support.

01

A 24-48 hour gap can be normal after warehouse dispatch, carrier handoff, customs review, or line-haul transfer.

02

Domestic China seller tracking and international tracking may update on different systems.

03

Manual review is needed when the last event is old, the status shows exception, or the tracking number cannot be found.

Workflow

What to do next

  1. Confirm the tracking number or JTL order number was copied exactly.
  2. Check whether the order has left the China warehouse or is still using domestic seller tracking.
  3. Wait 24-48 hours after carrier handoff before treating a normal scan gap as an exception.
  4. Record the carrier, last visible event, event date, destination country, and order reference.
  5. Contact support if there is no update after 48 hours, the status shows exception, or customs/address review is shown.

Before quoting

What to prepare

  • Tracking ID, JTL order ID, or supplier domestic tracking number
  • Carrier name and whether the shipment has been dispatched internationally
  • Last visible event, event date, destination country, and final-mile status
  • Cargo risk such as batteries, liquids, branded goods, oversized cargo, or address/customs review

Proof examples

Evidence that helps support review

  • Warehouse dispatch record showing the parcel left JTLGO before carrier tracking started.
  • Carrier timeline screenshot with last event time, event location, and current status label.
  • Support message including tracking ID, JTL order ID, destination country, carrier name, and last visible event.

Manual review triggers

When to contact support

  • No new international tracking event after 48 hours from warehouse dispatch.
  • Tracking page returns no result for a copied tracking ID or order reference.
  • Status shows customs review, address issue, delivery exception, return, or carrier hold.
  • The last visible event conflicts with the buyer destination or final-mile carrier information.

Yes. A short pause can happen when parcels move from the warehouse to the carrier, wait for export scan, enter customs review, or transfer to a final-mile carrier.

What should I send support if tracking is not updating?

Send the tracking ID, JTL order number if available, destination country, last visible event, event date, and any exception message shown on the tracking page.

Why does domestic China tracking stop after warehouse delivery?

Seller domestic tracking usually ends when the parcel reaches the China warehouse. A new international tracking number may be created after consolidation and dispatch.

Contact JTLGO if there is no update after 48 hours from dispatch, if the status shows exception, or if customs, address, or carrier review appears.
