Track CRS shipments in real-time with Paxlo. Get instant delivery updates and full visibility for packages shipped within China.
CRS, or China Railway Express, operates as one of China's major logistics networks specializing in parcel and freight delivery across the country. As a state-supported carrier integrated with China's railway infrastructure, CRS handles millions of shipments annually, connecting urban centers and remote regions through an extensive distribution network. The company has become essential for both domestic e-commerce and cross-border logistics, offering reliable service at competitive rates.
CRS emerged from China's rail infrastructure modernization, leveraging the country's vast railway system to create an efficient logistics backbone. Unlike traditional road-based couriers, CRS combines rail transport with last-mile delivery, reducing costs and environmental impact. This unique position made CRS particularly valuable during China's e-commerce boom, when demand for fast, affordable shipping exceeded what conventional carriers could provide. Today, CRS ranks among China's top 10 logistics providers and continues expanding capacity to meet growing demand.
CRS offers multiple service tiers designed for different delivery needs and budget constraints. Standard service reaches most destinations in 5-7 business days, making it ideal for non-urgent shipments. Express options cut delivery time to 2-3 days in major cities. The carrier also provides specialized services for oversized items, fragile goods, and temperature-sensitive products. Businesses can choose between economy pricing and faster premium services depending on customer expectations and profit margins.
Paxlo connects directly to CRS tracking systems, pulling real-time data on package location, estimated delivery, and handling status. When you add a CRS tracking number to Paxlo, the app automatically detects the carrier and begins monitoring your shipment. You receive instant notifications at each scan point, from pickup through final delivery. Paxlo's interface displays CRS updates in plain language, removing the confusion of Chinese logistics terminology.
The integration works seamlessly whether you're tracking a single purchase or managing multiple CRS shipments. Paxlo organizes all your packages in one place, with filtering options to view CRS deliveries separately. If a shipment gets stuck or delayed, Paxlo's alert system notifies you immediately, giving you time to contact CRS support or investigate further.
CRS tracking information sometimes moves slowly through the system, especially for shipments originating in smaller cities or rural areas. Network congestion during peak seasons can cause 1-2 day delays in scan updates. Additionally, CRS's legacy tracking platform doesn't always integrate cleanly with third-party apps, leading to missing data points or outdated information. Paxlo overcomes these limitations by pulling data more frequently and filling gaps with corrected timestamps.
CRS remains one of China's most affordable and reliable carriers for domestic shipments. When combined with Paxlo's tracking capabilities, you get full visibility into your packages without navigating complex Chinese language interfaces. Whether you're receiving personal purchases from Chinese online retailers or managing business inventory, tracking CRS shipments through Paxlo keeps you informed every step of the journey.
Open Paxlo and tap the plus icon to add a new tracking number. Enter your CRS tracking number, which typically starts with specific CRS prefixes. Paxlo instantly detects the carrier and begins pulling live tracking data. You'll see the package location, last scan status, and estimated delivery date. Paxlo checks for updates multiple times daily, so you always have current information.
First, confirm you've entered the number exactly as provided by CRS, including any letters or dashes. Some CRS tracking numbers take 12-24 hours to appear in the system after the label is created. If the tracking number still doesn't work after a day, the carrier may not have scanned the package yet. Try adding it again after 24 hours. If problems persist, contact CRS customer service to verify the tracking number is valid.
CRS uses different status messages for different handling stages. 'Accepted' means the package was picked up and entered the system. 'In Transit' indicates the shipment is moving through CRS facilities. 'Out for Delivery' means your package left the local center and is en route to your address that day. 'Delivered' confirms successful handoff to the recipient. Paxlo translates these statuses into clear English, removing language barriers.
Standard CRS service takes 5-7 business days for most domestic destinations within China. Tier-1 cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou often see 3-5 day delivery. Express service cuts this to 2-3 days. Remote or rural areas may take 10-14 days due to limited rail access. Seasonal factors like Chinese New Year or major holidays can add 2-3 days to any service level. Paxlo shows your specific estimated delivery date based on the destination.
Address changes are difficult once CRS has scanned your package into their system. Contact CRS customer service immediately if you need to modify the address, but they can only help if the package hasn't left the originating facility. After that point, you typically must accept delivery and arrange a return or reshipment. Paxlo's tracking shows exactly when your package reaches different CRS facilities, helping you determine if changes are still possible.

Paxlo alerts you if your package hasn't updated in 48 hours, signaling a potential delay. Check your Paxlo notifications to understand the last known location. Weather, seasonal surges, or system issues commonly cause 1-3 day delays. Wait 2-3 additional days before contacting CRS, as delays often resolve automatically. When you do reach out, provide your tracking number and last known location. Keep Paxlo open to monitor progress, as CRS sometimes provides updates without notifying you directly.
