AliExpress Tracking Carrier Decoder
Paste an AliExpress tracking number and see the real courier that's actually delivering it — with a direct tracking link. No signup, nothing stored.
AliExpress tracking prefixes & their real couriers
AliExpress reports a shipping service (like "AliExpress Standard" or "Selection Premium"), not the courier that knocks on the door. The prefix tells the truth:
| Prefix / format | Real courier | Region |
|---|---|---|
H06R4A… | Evri (formerly Hermes) | UK |
JJD… | Yodel | UK |
GV…GB · ends GB | Royal Mail | UK |
LP…CN, LZ…, UB…CN | Cainiao / AliExpress Standard | Global |
YT… | YunExpress | Global |
1Z… | UPS | Global |
94…, 93…, 92… (22 digits) | USPS | US |
Deeper dives: carrier prefix codes every UK dropshipper should know, why you should never trust AliExpress's carrier_name, and the Evri / Hermes tracking-ID rename.
Wrong carrier = wrong tracking uploaded to eBay
If you sell on eBay and source from AliExpress, uploading the wrong courier to a buyer's order costs you: confused customers, "item not received" cases, and defects that raise your fees. AliExpress's own carrier field is famously unreliable — so sellers end up guessing.
This decoder settles it for one parcel at a time. If you're doing it across hundreds of orders a day, that's exactly what Fetch Order Tracking automates: it resolves the real courier from the prefix, writes the tracking ID, status, delivery date and refund state straight into your Google Sheet, and even builds the carrier delivery-proof link — automatically, for every order.
AliExpress carrier questions
Why does AliExpress show the wrong carrier?
AliExpress usually reports a shipping service name (like AliExpress Standard or Selection Premium), not the local courier that actually delivers the parcel. The last-mile courier is encoded in the tracking-number prefix — which is what this decoder reads.
What carrier is H06R4A on AliExpress?
Tracking numbers that start with H06R4A are delivered by Evri (formerly Hermes) in the UK.
What carrier is a JJD tracking number?
Numbers starting with JJD are delivered by Yodel in the UK, handed off from AliExpress Selection Premium / Cainiao.
Do you store my tracking numbers?
No. The decoder runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server or stored. It's free and needs no signup.
