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.
