When checking your parcel, make sure to enter the entire sequence without spaces or dashes.

Is this normal?

How long is normal for Best Express?

It is common for tracking updates to pause for several days while a parcel travels long distances or clears border inspections. Knowing what to expect at each stage helps relieve delivery anxiety.

  1. Days 1 to 3

    The package is entering the network or moving between regional sorting hubs. Gaps of 24 to 48 hours without a scan are standard.

  2. Days 4 to 7

    International parcels are likely in transit to an export facility or undergoing initial customs clearance. Normal movement requires no action.

  3. Days 8 to 14

    Cross-border shipments may be undergoing import clearance or waiting for line-haul transfer. Check if a local tracking number has been generated.

  4. After 15 days

    If there has been no scan activity for over 7 consecutive days, contact the merchant or sender to open an inquiry with Best Express.

Troubleshooting

Best Express tracking not updating?

Tracking pauses are often caused by routine operational steps rather than lost packages. Understanding the common reasons for tracking delays can help set realistic expectations.

Long transit gaps
Parcels traveling via ground transport or line-haul flights do not receive new scans until arriving at the next major facility.
Customs clearance inspections
Cross-border items must pass security and duty reviews, which can take anywhere from a few hours to several days.
Weekend and holiday slowdowns
Sorting hubs and local delivery drivers may operate on reduced schedules during official public holidays.
Handoff to local delivery partners
When an international parcel lands in the destination country, it is often transferred to a local post office or courier.

What to do next

  1. Verify that the tracking number was entered correctly without additional spaces or missing digits.
  2. Check with your seller or merchant to confirm the parcel was physically handed over to Best Express.
  3. Allow 2 to 3 business days for new scans if the parcel is currently moving between major transit hubs.
  4. Contact the merchant to request a carrier inquiry if tracking remains completely inactive for more than 7 days.
Cross-border

Best Express customs & handoffs

International shipping with Best Express involves multiple distinct phases. The journey begins with an initial scan at a local origin facility in China or Southeast Asia, followed by transit to an international export processing center. Once customs export documentation is approved, the parcel is assigned to line-haul air or ocean transport to move across international borders.

Upon reaching the destination country, the parcel undergoes import customs clearance. During this stage, the package may be inspected and taxes or duties assessed. After clearance, Best Express frequently transfers the package to a local destination courier or postal service for the final leg of delivery. A second tracking number is sometimes generated for this final leg, but parceltracking.com continues to help you follow the shipment timeline across both legs.

Practical

Tips for tracking Best Express parcels

  • Keep your tracking number saved

    Store your tracking number in your browser or email notes so you can quickly monitor progress throughout the delivery journey.

  • Watch for last-mile carrier numbers

    For cross-border shipments, check tracking notes to see if a local domestic carrier tracking code has been assigned.

  • Account for regional public holidays

    Be aware of major holidays in East and Southeast Asia, such as Lunar New Year, which can slow processing times.

  • Reach out to the seller early

    Since online merchants maintain direct accounts with Best Express, they can open official inquiries faster than recipients can.
