BZ, also known as Baozhu Express, is a major domestic courier service operating throughout China. The carrier specializes in fast, reliable package delivery across urban and rural areas, handling millions of shipments annually. BZ focuses on competitive pricing and reasonable delivery windows, making it a popular choice for e-commerce merchants and individual shippers who need dependable service without premium costs.
The company operates regional distribution centers strategically positioned across China's major cities and provinces. This network allows BZ to offer next-day or two-day delivery for most domestic routes. While BZ competes with larger carriers like SF Express and ZTO, it maintains a solid reputation for handling parcels carefully and meeting promised delivery dates.
China's courier market has grown explosively over the past decade, driven by e-commerce giants and millions of small businesses selling online. BZ emerged as a mid-tier player that bridges affordability and reliability. The carrier serves small to medium-sized merchants who ship moderate volumes but need consistent performance.
Unlike premium carriers that charge higher rates for guaranteed speed, BZ offers economical rates with reasonable delivery timelines. This positioning has made BZ particularly attractive to sellers on platforms like Taobao, Douyin (TikTok Shop), and Pinduoduo who need cost-effective logistics without sacrificing customer satisfaction.
BZ provides several service tiers designed to meet different shipping needs and budgets:
Download Paxlo and track all your packages in one place. Free, fast, and trusted by 50,000+ users worldwide.
BZ accepts packages ranging from small documents to larger parcels, with weight limits accommodating most common shipment sizes. The carrier handles standard items well but may have restrictions on hazardous materials, liquids, and certain controlled items, so it's important to confirm before shipping.
Paxlo connects directly to BZ's tracking system, pulling real-time updates whenever your package moves through their network. This means you don't need to visit BZ's website or use multiple apps to monitor your shipment. Everything happens in one place on your phone.
When you add a BZ tracking number to Paxlo, the app immediately fetches the current location and delivery status. As your package progresses from the pickup point through sorting hubs and local delivery stations, Paxlo notifies you of each major milestone. You'll see estimated delivery windows, current handling location, and any delays or exceptions that arise.
The integration works whether you're the sender or recipient. Sellers can use Paxlo to monitor shipments they've sent to customers, while buyers can track packages they've ordered from Chinese e-commerce platforms. If you receive a tracking number via email or message, simply paste it into Paxlo and start monitoring immediately.
Using Paxlo for BZ tracking offers several advantages over checking the carrier's website repeatedly:
Many users in China rely on multiple couriers for different types of shipments. Rather than installing separate apps for SF Express, ZTO, BZ, and others, Paxlo consolidates all tracking into a single, streamlined interface. This saves phone storage, reduces notification clutter, and makes it easier to find specific packages when you need them.
BZ handles various shipment types and scenarios. Understanding typical delivery patterns helps set realistic expectations:
For packages shipped within the same province or to nearby regions, BZ typically completes delivery within 2-3 business days. Urban destinations usually see faster handling because BZ has more frequent pickup and delivery runs. Rural areas may take an additional day or two due to less frequent collection and distribution schedules.
If you ship a package on a weekend or holiday, BZ may not pick it up until the next business day, which extends overall transit time. During major shopping events like Singles Day or Chinese New Year, BZ experiences volume surges that can cause temporary delays. Paxlo will show these delays in your tracking data, so you know what's causing slower movement.
Occasional delays happen with any carrier. If your BZ package hasn't updated for several days, Paxlo helps you understand what's happening. The app shows you the last known location and status, which you can use to contact BZ customer service with specific information.
Common reasons for delays include weather disruptions, high package volume at a sorting facility, or packages requiring additional documentation. If a package is stuck in one location for an unusual amount of time, Paxlo can help you identify which distribution hub it's at so you can follow up with BZ directly with precise details rather than vague descriptions.
Adding a BZ tracking number to Paxlo takes seconds. Open the Paxlo app on iOS or Android and tap the plus icon to add a new shipment. Enter your BZ tracking number (the 12-digit or longer number provided by the shipper), and Paxlo automatically recognizes it as a BZ package. Within moments, you'll see the current status, location, and delivery estimate.
You can also paste a tracking number from an order confirmation email or text message. Paxlo detects the carrier automatically, so you don't need to manually select BZ. The app then checks BZ's system every few hours for updates, ensuring you always have the latest information without doing anything.
For frequent online shoppers, this hands-off approach saves enormous amounts of time. Instead of logging into multiple websites or making phone calls to track packages, Paxlo does the work automatically and notifies you only when something important happens.
That depends on BZ and the specific merchant who shipped your package. Some sellers opt into BZ's SMS notification service and pass your phone number to BZ, which then sends SMS updates. Paxlo notifications are independent of BZ's SMS service. You can have both active at the same time, though this means you'll receive duplicate notifications for the same status updates. If you prefer not to receive SMS from BZ, some sellers allow you to opt out during checkout. Using Paxlo alone is sufficient for complete tracking visibility, so if you find multiple notifications annoying, you can disable BZ's SMS service while keeping Paxlo's more organized notifications.
