In this article, we will talk about the postal service Sweden Post, which is gaining popularity among sellers on Aliexpress.
List of services involved in the delivery of orders from Aliexpress gradually expanding. At first, as an alternative, it was used Itella and is now gaining popularity. Sweden Post .
This company is the postal service of Sweden. It appeared after the connection of two services - Denmark and Sweden. The company is engaged not only in the delivery of ordinary parcels for companies and individuals, but also cooperates with large logistics organizations, for example, Direct Link. Its main area of work is the delivery of shipments to its own point, located in Sweden.
Why are parcels from AliExpress sent through Sweden?
Basic services such as China Post, which are widely used for sending parcels, cannot cope with the load and buyers often wait for their order for a very long time.
Therefore, in order for the parcel to reach the buyer faster, I had to look for additional ways. This is where it came in handy Itella And Sweden Post, which at the moment are doing their job perfectly, and residents of different countries receive their orders much faster.
When you pay for the item Aliexpress and the seller will send it, then you will be provided with a track code to track its movements. It is better to wait a few days, as the parcel still needs to get to the sorting point and be registered.
Does Sweden Post have Russian tracking?
Unfortunately, when tracking on the service website, you will have to work with a foreign language. There is no Russian here, but you can choose English. If your browser automatically pages into Russian, then it will be automatically translated.
How to track a parcel from Sweden to Sweden Post by track number?
Use the official website to track Sweden Post. By the way, you can follow the parcel using the phone number indicated in the profile on Aliexpress. Although it is better not to use this method, because the seller can write his phone number. Therefore, the track code is the best option.
When parcels are registered in Sweden, they are assigned the status “Item received for processing”. It can be so up to one week, and then the information will be updated gradually and as the shipment moves.
How long does it take to send a parcel from China with Aliexpress via Sweden?
When placing orders via Sweden Post customers receive their orders much faster. On average, the shipment takes 15-35 days. The main factor on which the delivery time depends is your location. The farther you live from Sweden, the longer the parcel will go. Although many parcels always arrive regardless of the delivery time. Shipments are lost very rarely.

The Sweden Post tracking number format is as follows:
- For MPO weighing up to 2 kg (small packages): Rx123456785SE
- For MPO weighing from 2 to 20 kg (parcels): Cx123456785SE
- For EMS shipments (up to 30kg): Ex123456785SE
R/C/E- dispatch type identifier;

123456785 - a digital code that allows to ensure the uniqueness of the number;
SE- designation of the country of the sender (in this case, Sweden - Sweden) in accordance with the S10 UPU standard.

Sweden Post or simply Posten was the name of the state postal service of Sweden, which officially began its work already in 1636 and since its foundation has been under the patronage of the royal family, providing postal exchange services within the country and abroad. The advent of the era of globalization became a new milestone in the history of the Swedish post and it resulted in a merger with the post of Denmark in 2009, from that moment this merged post is simply called Postnord and is part of the NordicGroup joint-stock holding. Postnord is a member of the Universal Postal Union (UPU).
In the post-Soviet space, Sweden Post until recently was of little interest to anyone, until Chinese stores, in particular sellers from the Aliexpress.com site, began sending parcels through Postnord's subsidiary, the Direct Link logistics company. This company has representative offices all over the world, and the scheme of its work is as follows:
- the seller electronically books the delivery and receives the Postnord track number in the form R...SE, indicating belonging to Sweden,
- the seller sends the goods to the Direct Link office,
- the cargo carrier Direct Link forwards the cargo to Sweden or its European representative offices, from where the cargo in the form of IGOs is sent to the end customer.
Such a delivery scheme is considered very reliable, because the entire route of the cargo passes through the hands of a European company. The only drawback of such delivery is considered to be long periods, but it is worth noting that this statement is not entirely objective - for example, for customers living near international postal exchange places, the delivery time is an average of 14-18 days, and for remote customers this period is extended up to months, which directly indicates the promptness of internal postal services.
Track number format and tracking of shipments Sweden Post - Postnord
Since Postnord is a member of the Universal Postal Union UPU, the track numbers assigned to registered MPOs have a standardized international format:
- MPO mass up to 2 kg(small package First Class International) – RX123456785SE,
- MPO mass up to 20 kg(Parcel Post International parcel) – CX123456785SE,
- EMS bulk shipments up to 30 kg – EX123456785SE,
where is the end SE indicates the sender's country - Sweden.
You can track MGOs sent via Postnord through our VXZone tracker (sweden post tracking), or on the main page of the official Postnord website (for better orientation, we recommend immediately switching to English EN in the upper right part of the site). After importing the IGO into the country of destination, tracking will become available on the websites of state postal services, for example, the Russian Post.

- First Class International- small package weighing up to 2 kg.

Sweden Post on the site site. When added to a personal list, the movement of parcels is updated automatically.
Swedish Post is the national postal operator of Sweden, providing mail forwarding services both within the country and abroad. In addition to standard delivery, it is engaged in courier delivery. As a member of the EMS cooperative, Sweden Post is the designated operator for the delivery of EMS items.
As a member of the Universal Postal Union, Sweden Post carries out its activities in accordance with the rules of the Universal Postal Convention, which regulates international postal exchange between members. An essential provision of this regulation is the ban on the transport of certain items; Sweden Post has no right to send such parcels. These include explosive, flammable or radioactive substances, as well as other dangerous goods, counterfeit and pirated products, objects of an obscene or immoral nature, etc.
Types of tracking numbers of the Swedish Post
Parcels and courier delivery are sent with a Sweden Post tracking number, which can be used to see how the parcel is moving. The sender may not register small packages and letters, then he will not have a track number.
The international postal identifier consists of an alphanumeric series:
- For small packages weighing up to 2 kg - Rx123456785SE;
- For parcels weighing from 2 to 20 kg - Cx123456785SE;
- For EMS shipments - Ex123456785SE.
The first letter R indicates that the small package is registered, the letter C will be for the parcel, EMC mail begins with the Latin E. The numbers guarantee the uniqueness of the number. But the last letters determine the country of the postal service from where the parcel was sent.
Sweden Post tracking
In order not to worry about your shipment from Sweden and roughly understand where it is currently, you can track the package on the site with a Russian translation of all tracking statuses.
The sender can receive a track number for tracking the postal item of the Swedish Post when registering at the post office. Or register the parcel remotely. But we must remember that electronic registration does not guarantee that the sender will send the parcel. In the first case, the physical transfer of the shipment occurs immediately, so information about the number of the mailing is entered into the tracking system very quickly and the recipient can immediately see the status of acceptance of the IGO for shipment.
Sweden Post is a subsidiary of Post Nord AB, which was founded by the union of the state postal companies of Denmark and Sweden. Sweden Post works with both individuals and legal entities, including large logistics companies operating in the Scandinavian countries.
One such transport company cooperating with the Swedish Post is Direct Link, which is not surprising, since the latter is also part of the Post Nord AB group. Direct Link is engaged in the delivery of IGOs (international mail) from China to one of the European sorting centers, from where the parcels are transferred for subsequent delivery to Sweden Post. Thus, all shipments from China that arrive at the Direct Link logistics company receive track numbers from the Swedish Post.
Most often, on Aliexpress, the delivery method by Sweden Post (Direct Link), regardless of whether it is the main or alternative, is paid. The cost of shipments, as in most cases, is determined by the weight and dimensions of the parcel.
Restrictions on MGO
Sweden Post accepts parcels weighing up to 30 kg for international delivery. Goods weighing up to 2 kg can be sent as "small packages". The requirements for such shipments are standard.
The minimum dimensions of a small package are 14x9 cm, the maximum size of any of the sides should not exceed 60 cm. The total value of all dimensions should not exceed 90 cm.
Goods with a mass exceeding 2 kg can be sent as a parcel, with a maximum length limit on one side of the package up to 150 cm, and the total length and coverage - up to 300 cm.
Sweden Post tracking number format
According to accepted international standards, all registered IGOs receive a 13-digit tracking number, which is used to track the parcel at all stages of its movement.
For Sweden Post, the number format is defined as follows:
- R*987654321SE - for registered small packages (up to 2 kg)
- С*987654321SE - for registered parcels (up to 20 kg)
- E*987654321SE - for EMS shipments (up to 30 kg)
The first character of the 13-digit R/C/E track number determines the type of shipment. Instead of "*" there can be any letter of the Latin alphabet, which serves to uniqueize the number, followed by a 9-digit numeric code, at the end of the SE pair determines the country of the postal operator - in this case, Sweden.
Ordinary shipments can be registered at will, but EMS shipments, which are delivered by an independent division of the Swedish Post EMS Sweden Post, must be registered.
Sweden Post IGO Tracking and Standard Statuses

By entering the tracking number received from the seller in the tracking form, you can see the following statuses:
