| mail package back to China concern....
I know this might be a really stupid question...
If i'm mailing a package back to China and write the address in Chinese character...will it go through?
I do not have the English translation of the address and its my first time trying to mail something back to China with chinese address only.
Fedex / UPS / Canada post?
Thanks guys!

all canada needs to know is that its going to China and maybe the province i think (when we mail items to china thats all that seems to be required by canada post / dhl)
once it lands there its in the hands of chinese readers and they'll probably be like ![My Mind is Full of Fuck](images/smilies/fulloffuck.png) if all you wrote was english :P

I would double check with Canada post before you mail anything. I'm sure they'll know.

Write it in English and Chinese to be safe?

the English literacy rate in China is absolutely horrid, not to mention that a given pinyin can translate into like 5-10 different words.
Or if you are a risk taker, you could go hybrid. Write the address in Chinese, except for the country.
