mail package back to China concern....
 

I know this might be a really stupid question...:badpokerface:

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 :fulloffuck: if all you wrote was english :P

appropriate use of Jacky Chan picture there

Thank you so much!

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?

write it in both languages just to be safe

I've use canadapost before, and all i need to write in English is "china" I believe. There's a place in the airport that send package to china for cheap via EMS.

But op can't translate Chinese to English.

Google Translate?

I think all of the roads in china use the pinyin of the chinese word as the "english" name.

I hope you know translating names isn't that easy

just write the pinyin as well.
i regularly mail things to asia.

i always write the native character and english or pinyin.

just native is fine though.

ive sent a few things to china every few months

characters and english is what i write.

I would write both English and Chinese.
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.
