How the warehouse links parcels to you

The warehouse address you copy in CAINIAO App includes a personal code in the recipient line. Sellers ship there like any domestic order, and the warehouse uses the code to match each parcel to your account.

  • Keep the personal code exactly as copied. A parcel without it may not check in.
  • Taobao parcels sync automatically once your CAINIAO account is linked to Taobao. For JD.com, Pinduoduo and other stores, register the domestic tracking number in the app.
  • Consolidate only after every parcel you want to send shows as checked in.
