Why does your order shipping status show that it is stuck on "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" or "XXX,leaving XXX to XXX"

When your package are sorted in the China Post EMS bin, all goods destined for the same destination are loaded into the pallet to the airline (a pallet may have hundreds of EMS packages) and sent to the same destination, here same destination neither refers to the same country, nor does it refer to the same city. For example, parcels sent to Delaware, Vermont, Maine, and sent to New York all fly to Kennedy Airport waiting for next movement. And, it is usps do the scaning and distribution work after package arrival.

So it stuck on this status when your parcels are scanned out of the warehouse,loaded into pallets,loaded into the airport, screened at the airport, sent to the destination country, they all show in the same status before the destination country completes the scan.

What causes the stuck?, Why sometimes it lasts much longer than usual?

1 Too many shipments to the destination can not be scheduled

2 If there is a temporary problem with the scheduled aircraft (for example, due to weather conditions, missed flights may delay N days, and not the next flight will be able to fly, because all flights are booked long time ahead. )

3 and other parcels that your parcels are wrapped in a tray are not closed. (Others have problems with parcel security checks. They will definitely have to re-check out the parcels in the whole tray and miss the flight. The result is just like reason 2)

4 After the arrival of the destination country, the destination airport post did not scan your package,may be temporary, or even never.

(In this case, if you call the local post office, they will only say that things have not arrived yet, and China Post will say that we do not know)

5 The processing capacity of your destination transit center (developed countries are more efficient than developing countries, and same as biger transit airports compare to smaller transit airports).
