Processing	Seller prepares the order (1–5 days)

🔍 How to Track DHgate Packages (Step-by-Step)

✅ Step 1: Get Your DHgate Tracking Number

To track any package, you need the tracking number from your DHgate account or email:

Log into DHgate.com
Go to “My Orders”
Click on your specific order
Look for the “Tracking Number” and carrier information

📧 You’ll also receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking info.

✅ Step 2: Choose a Tracking Method

You can use multiple platforms to track DHgate packages:

🔹 1. Track DHgate Packages via 17Track

Go to 17Track.net
Paste your DHgate tracking number
Click “Track”
The system auto-detects the carrier (e.g., YunExpress, China Post)

Why 17Track?

Supports 900+ carriers

🔹 2. Track DHgate Orders with USPS (for U.S. Buyers)

Once the item arrives in the U.S., it’s usually handed over to USPS.

Steps:

Go to USPS.com
Paste the same tracking number
Click “Track”
USPS will show domestic delivery updates

🧠 Pro Tip: The same DHgate tracking number usually works across international and domestic sites.

🔹 3. Track DHgate Orders via DHL

If your order ships through DHL Express, you’ll receive a 10–11 digit tracking number.

Go to DHL.com
Enter your tracking number
View delivery route and estimated time

DHL is faster, but costlier — and ideal for time-sensitive orders.

🔹 4. Track via China Post / YunExpress / 4PX
