Interesting tracking info

[Q]

I know that (almost) everyone complains about the length of time taken for stuff to get here from China, but I've just copied this from my tracking info, not seen it before, makes you wonder how many stops our parcels have before they even SEE a plane or boat




it isn't a Focal one but I'm wondering if Foclecig makes any sense of this and can perhaps explain it in a way we can understand

[Q]

or maybe alex05 I think it may be one of his

The second line down sent to GBLALA, means it is on a plane to Heathrow.

[Q]

GB LALA I've heard it called a few things but never that

You may be right to smirk: it's the International Mail Processing Centre code for Langley, UK, specifically the Heathrow World Distribution Centre for Royal Mail.
Aka the UK's black hole.

And I still have no clue whether it's actually been sent overseas yet or not

It's the first time I've used China Post, normally I use Singapore Post

Normally on tracking it refers to Heathrow as LHR, never seen LALA before

May be normal to you alex05 but I've never seen that sort of info before, and I have bought a lot of stuff from China

Is it definately airmail, because I was under the impression it was being sent surface

**edit** answered my own question.... it's arrived at Heathrow overnight
So unless they have built a port at Heathrow it must have flown here

Hello Q, the package was shipped from Huizhou city(Located in Guangdong Province as well).
It is normal if packages shipped from China mainland pass through Shenzhen city.

Is it Hong Kong Post?
Normally, for Hong Kong Post packages, it would be shipped from Shenzhen to Hong Kong. Shenzhen is near Hong kong and the traffic is much more convenienet.
Geographic position of Shenzhen is also a competitive edge for Shenzhen's foreign trade.
