About SF Express
SF Express (Shunfeng) — founded 1993, headquartered in Shenzhen — is the largest integrated logistics provider in China and Asia, known for speed and on-time reliability across Greater China and a growing international network. International parcels from China typically reach the US in 3–7 days, with partners such as USPS, DHL, and 4PX handling some last-mile legs.
SF Express tracking number format
SF numbers are 12–15 digits, either all-numeric or prefixed with SF (e.g. SF + 13 digits). International labels usually show the SF prefix. The official portal accepts up to 20 waybills at once.

Common SF Express tracking statuses & what they mean
- “Order received”
- SF has the shipment data. If tracking shows 'number not found', the first physical scan is usually just delayed a few hours.
- “Handed over to third party”
- For some international lanes, SF passes the parcel to a partner (USPS, DHL, 4PX) for final delivery — tracking continues here across the handoff.
