Q: Delivery service in China

Hi I am looking for some advice on using SF express courier service for mainland China. I want to send two mail bag packages weighing around 5 kilograms each to a friend who lives in another city in China and would appreciate some advice on the delivery service.

I take it I can call up the company and ask the courier to pick up the packages at my apartment, I just want to know what is the process, I pay cash to the courier and what paperwork am I expected to get from him/her such as an invoice or
anything else?

Thank you any insight would be appreciated.

from one city in china to another is not complicated... they will provide you the form to fill which will have 3-4 copies underneath for all concerned people.. (sender, receiver, pick up office, delivery office etc)...

paying cash is not compulsory..they also offer cash on delivery..

delivery time is usually 2-3 days but can be arranged sooner on a very minimal fee..for my document parcel this extra fee for urgent delivery was 2 rmb and was delivered next day before 12pm.. SF is good..

Thank you, can I fill the form out in English? or does it have to be in Chinese as then I would have to get someone else to fill it out. The address labels however to the receiver are in Chinese characters.

mike695ca:

you can write an english name.  then a number for the contact person, and the adress will be in Chinese. The SF guys will gladly help you write it.  They do it for me all the time.
