Hi joanie,

In this case, you need to contact the receiver in China to contact China Post to check what happends to it or let the receiver in China contact China Post to return it back to you. It needs the receiver in China's cooperation.

I am from Malaysia and i am sending a return parcel to a Tabao Seller in Yi Xing.
The return parcel is declared as returning goods due to defect. However in transit it appears the parcel is being held up twice by the custom and it was last held at CNSZHA since 29/06. Is there anything can be done to know what is causing the clearance delay or get the parcel moving ? I have asked seller about it and they said they received no update on this. CP317027575MY
