What this status means

"Received by line-haul" means your parcel has left the sorting center and been picked up by the long-distance transport leg of Aliexpress Standard Shipping. Line-haul is the trucking that moves parcels in bulk between facilities, for example from a sorting center to an airport. The parcel is on a truck or at a transfer point, not yet on a plane.

Is my package delayed?

No, this message by itself is normal. It is a routine step in the export part of the journey. Earlier steps usually mention the sorting center, and the next step is most often a handover to an airline, which is the expected order.

What happens next

  • Most often (about 90% of cases), the next update is "Hand over to airline", meaning the parcel has reached the carrier that flies it abroad.
  • Less often, the next update is a postal acceptance scan in Chinese from China Post.
  • After the flight, the parcel goes through customs and is passed to the postal service in your country.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking. Updates can pause while the parcel is in transit.
  • If the status stays unchanged for longer than the previous steps took, contact the seller through the marketplace.
  • Have your order number and tracking number ready when you write.
  • Once the parcel reaches your country, check whether customs duties or taxes apply.
