How long is normal for 168 Express?
Cross-border shipping naturally involves operational gaps between scanning checkpoints. A lack of daily movement updates is common while goods cross international borders or wait for customs inspection.
Days 1 to 3
Initial scanning occurs at local Chinese hubs. It is normal to see status messages indicating label creation or transit between regional warehouses.
Days 4 to 10
The parcel moves through export processing and international line-haul flight transit. Gaps in tracking updates lasting several days are standard while the package is airborne.
Days 11 to 20
The package arrives at destination customs and transfers to local delivery networks. If there is no scan for more than 7 consecutive business days after customs clearance, contact the sender.
168 Express tracking not updating?
Tracking delays can happen for many standard logistical reasons. Understanding why updates pause helps minimize worry during international shipment.
- Label created but package not handed over
- Merchants often print shipping labels before 168 Express actually picks up the package, causing an initial delay in tracking events.
- Transit gaps during international flight
- While packages are loaded on cargo planes or waiting for overseas transport space, no location scans will register.
- Destination customs clearance queues
- Import inspections can take several days depending on volume, routine border spot checks, or missing documentation.
- Last-mile courier handoff delays
- When 168 Express transfers the parcel to a local postal operator, there can be a brief lag before the new tracking system records the item.
What to do next
- Verify that the tracking code was entered correctly on parceltracking.com.
- Allow several business days for tracking updates while packages cross international borders.
- Check with your seller to ensure the parcel was physically handed over to 168 Express.
- Contact the selling platform or merchant if tracking remains completely inactive for over two weeks.
168 Express customs & handoffs
International parcels sent via 168 Express follow a multi-stage path starting with origin pickup in China, moving through central export facilities, passing outbound customs clearance, and undergoing international line-haul air transport. During the air freight journey, packages are unreadable by ground barcode scanners, which creates quiet periods in tracking history.
Upon arrival in the destination country, local authorities clear the shipment before handing it off to a local partner courier or national post service. At this stage, a second local tracking number might be assigned to complete delivery. Independent aggregation tools like parceltracking.com monitor these handoffs to help keep your overall shipping timeline visible in one location.
Tips for tracking 168 Express parcels
Keep your tracking number saved

Watch for local tracking numbers
Pay attention to tracking status descriptions once customs clears; a national postal tracking number is sometimes added to the record.
Contact the merchant for order issues
If a shipment appears lost or returned, reaching out to the seller directly is usually faster because they manage the original contract with 168 Express.
Save screenshots for proof
Take photos or save screenshots of major tracking status changes, especially delivery confirmation, in case you need to verify claims with your merchant.
