What is going on with this carrier? After three+ weeks of waiting for my order, it finally arrived in my town via "USPS", and the next day their tracking showed it was sent to a town up by Canada, only accessible by boat or plane unless one drives up and in to Canada (both ways), then back south to my town where it supposedly was the day before! Maybe it will wind up back in China or Siberia!

I did not receive my parcel at the address I provided. But the courier marked it as delivered and claimed that I signed for it. However, I did not receive the parcel. I cannot reach the courier, whose phone number was left ( Li Hanbing, phone:13823153387), and he does not understand English. I want to know where my parcel is now and its last GPS location. Please help me find my parcel. Thank you!

I ordered four different items from Walmart. All the items were sent via China Post. Not one item made it to my house, but they did make it to Puerto Rico, Florida, and Mexico. I will not buy the item if I see that China Post is the delivery company. It is a scam.
