Better Way is a mid-tier domestic courier company operating across China, handling millions of parcels annually for e-commerce sellers, retailers, and individual shippers. The carrier focuses on cost-effective delivery solutions for time-sensitive shipments within the country. With distribution centers in major cities and a growing fleet of delivery vehicles, Better Way competes in the crowded Chinese logistics market by offering competitive rates and reliable service coverage.
Better Way emerged during China's rapid e-commerce expansion, filling demand for affordable domestic shipping. Unlike the "big three" couriers (SF Express, ZTO, and YTO), Better Way targets price-sensitive segments and smaller merchants who need dependable service without premium pricing. The company has invested in route optimization and sorting facilities to handle increasing volumes during peak shopping seasons like Singles' Day and Chinese New Year.
The carrier operates regional sorting hubs in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, and Wuhan. This network design reduces transit times for deliveries between major economic zones while keeping operational costs manageable. Better Way also offers corporate accounts with volume discounts, appealing to small and medium-sized online sellers.
Paxlo connects directly to Better Way's tracking API, pulling shipment status updates the moment they occur at sorting facilities, delivery hubs, and with delivery personnel. Instead of manually checking Better Way's website or dealing with Chinese-language interfaces, Paxlo users see all Better Way parcels in one unified app alongside packages from other carriers.
The integration includes automatic tracking number recognition. When a tracking number beginning with Better Way's prefix arrives in your email, SMS, or clipboard, Paxlo instantly identifies it and adds the shipment to your active package list. You receive push notifications for key milestones: out for delivery, delivery attempt, and successful delivery.
Paxlo is especially valuable if you shop from Chinese merchants, receive samples from suppliers, or manage cross-border purchases. Many users in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia receive Better Way shipments without realizing the carrier's name, only to be confused by non-English tracking updates. Paxlo removes that friction.
Better Way's standard domestic delivery typically takes 3-5 business days for same-province shipments and 5-7 days for cross-country routes. During major holiday periods, these timeframes extend by 1-3 days. The carrier achieves a 98-99% on-time delivery rate according to industry surveys, placing it in the middle tier of Chinese couriers.
Tracking accuracy is generally reliable once the package enters Better Way's system, though first-mile pickup delays can occur for merchant partnerships with high daily volumes. Paxlo shows when your package is likely delayed by alerting you to extended statuses at sorting hubs.
If you buy from Alibaba, Taobao resellers, or Chinese wholesalers, Better Way handles a significant portion of those shipments. The carrier also handles domestic e-commerce returns and exchanges within China. Understanding Better Way's tracking system helps you spot delays early and contact sellers or merchants with realistic delivery expectations based on actual carrier performance, not promises.
Better Way's competitive pricing means many smaller online retailers choose it by default. That makes Paxlo tracking essential for anyone ordering from price-conscious sellers who don't use premium couriers. You'll spend less on shipping but need more visibility into where your package actually is, which Paxlo provides.
You can also sync Paxlo with your email to auto-import Better Way tracking numbers from order confirmations and shipping notifications. This removes the manual step of copying numbers and keeps your tracking organized without extra effort on your part.
Check your order confirmation email or seller message for the shipping carrier name and tracking number. Better Way tracking numbers usually start with specific prefixes that Paxlo recognizes automatically. If you're unsure, paste the number into Paxlo and it will identify the carrier. The seller's shipping label also shows Better Way's logo and name if that's the carrier they selected.
Better Way updates tracking at major sorting hubs and when delivery personnel scan the package. If a package sits at a facility for 1-2 days before the next scan, the status can appear static. This is normal and doesn't mean the package is lost. Paxlo will alert you the moment the status changes. If a package shows no updates for more than 7 days, contact the seller to follow up with Better Way directly.
Paxlo displays Better Way's customer service phone number and links to their tracking page for each shipment. However, most customer service for Better Way is handled through the seller or merchant you purchased from, not directly with the carrier. Contact the seller first to file a complaint or request a redelivery. The seller can open a claim with Better Way on your behalf if the package is truly late or damaged.
Better Way operates domestically within China only. If you're receiving a Better Way shipment outside China, it means a Chinese seller shipped it to you using Better Way for the domestic leg, then another carrier (like China Post or DHL) for international transit. Paxlo tracks the entire journey across both carriers, so you'll see the handoff point when the package transfers from Better Way to the international carrier.
Check with neighbors or household members. Better Way drivers sometimes leave parcels with nearby residents if no one answers. If the package was delivered to your address according to Paxlo tracking but you genuinely don't have it, contact the seller immediately with the tracking number. The seller can request a claim investigation from Better Way. You'll need the seller's help because most carriers won't investigate claims from recipients alone, only from the shipper or merchant.

Better Way provides estimated delivery windows based on the package's origin, destination, and current hub location. Paxlo displays this estimate, but it's accurate within 1-2 days most of the time. During peak seasons (11.11, 12.12, Chinese New Year), estimates can shift by 3-5 days. Paxlo updates the estimate as the package moves through the network, so check the app 24 hours before the estimated delivery date for the most current projection.
