3.What is Airmail ?

There are two kinds of airmail. One is Hong Kong Airmail, the other is China mainland airmail (herein referred as China airmail). Airmail stretches to nearly every corner of the world and has been broadly used in international shipping.

What's the difference between Hong Kong airmail and China airmail?
The difference can be classified as the chart below

For airmail, is there a website that I can track the package status whether it arrives in my destination country?
For product shipped via Hong Kong airmail, we can check from Hong Kong Post’s official web below:
http://app3.hongkongpost.com/CGI/mt/enquiry.jsp
Here we can only track the time when the package is carried by forwarder in Hong Kong and when it leaves from Hong Kong.

On http://www.track-trace.com/post, you can not only track whether it has left from HK, but also you can check whether your package has arrived in your own country. Just click the country at the bottom of the homepage and you’ll enter the website where you can track the status when your package arrives in your own country.

For products shipped via China airmail, we can track it from the web below:

Here we can have an overall tracking of the mail, including when it is posted on web, when it leaves China, when it reaches your destination country and when it is delivered.
