Track Octopus parcels in real-time with Paxlo. Fast delivery across China with instant notifications and precise location updates.
Octopus is one of China's leading express delivery companies, operating a nationwide network that handles millions of shipments daily. Founded to meet the explosive growth of e-commerce in China, Octopus has built a reputation for speed and reliability across urban and rural areas. The company operates sorting centers in major cities and maintains partnerships with retailers and marketplaces throughout the country.
As China's logistics sector matured, Octopus invested heavily in automation and tracking infrastructure. Today, the carrier serves businesses of all sizes, from small online sellers to major retailers. The company handles everything from same-day deliveries in metropolitan areas to inter-provincial shipments that reach remote regions.
Octopus operates through a hub-and-spoke model where packages are sorted at regional distribution centers before moving to local delivery stations. This structure allows them to handle high volumes while maintaining competitive delivery timeframes. The company focuses on both B2B logistics and consumer-facing parcel delivery.
Paxlo integrates directly with Octopus tracking systems, pulling real-time updates to your phone. Instead of visiting Octopus's website or calling customer service, you get all your shipment information in one app. When you add an Octopus tracking number to Paxlo, you'll see exactly where your package is and when it'll arrive.
The app shows each scanning event from the moment Octopus picks up your shipment at the sender's location through final delivery. You'll know when your package reaches sorting centers, local distribution hubs, and your delivery station. Push notifications alert you to important milestones so you're never caught off guard.
Octopus maintains an extensive logistics network designed to handle China's enormous e-commerce volume. The company operates distribution centers in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, plus regional hubs throughout the country. This infrastructure allows them to offer competitive pricing while maintaining reliable delivery windows.
The carrier employs thousands of delivery personnel and contractors who work from local pickup points. Each station covers a specific area and handles both incoming packages from regional hubs and outgoing deliveries to end recipients. During peak seasons like Singles' Day and Chinese New Year, Octopus scales up operations significantly.
Octopus's native tracking experience requires manual lookups on their website. Paxlo eliminates this friction. Add your tracking number once and Paxlo checks for updates automatically. The app consolidates multiple Octopus shipments into a clean list, making it easy to see which packages are coming and when.
Paxlo's interface displays information in a timeline format that's easier to read than Octopus's standard tracking page. You get timestamps, event descriptions, and location details all in one place. If you're tracking packages from multiple carriers, Paxlo keeps everything organized without opening separate apps.
Whether you're a frequent online shopper or run a business that ships regularly, Paxlo makes managing Octopus deliveries straightforward. The app works on iOS and Android, so you'll have the same experience regardless of your device.
Open Paxlo and tap the plus icon to add a new shipment. Paste your Octopus tracking number (usually found in your order confirmation email or on the seller's website) into the text field. Paxlo will automatically detect that it's an Octopus shipment and start pulling tracking updates. Your package will appear in your tracking list within seconds.
Octopus's system may not have scanned your package yet. Tracking numbers are usually active within a few hours of purchase, but sometimes it takes up to 24 hours before the carrier registers the shipment in their system. Try adding the number again after waiting a day. Make sure you're copying the exact tracking number without extra spaces. If the number still doesn't work, contact the seller to verify they've provided the correct tracking information.
Yes. Paxlo tracks Octopus shipments across all of mainland China. Whether your package is going to Beijing, Chengdu, or a rural area, Paxlo will show you each step of the journey. You'll see when it arrives at regional sorting centers and local delivery stations. Tracking works the same way whether the shipment is traveling across provinces or just a few districts away.
Common statuses include 'Collected' (picked up from sender), 'In Transit' (moving between hubs), 'Arrived at Sorting Center' or 'Distribution Point' (at a local facility), and 'Out for Delivery' (with the courier today). Some statuses may appear in Chinese if the original tracking system uses Chinese language. Paxlo translates the key information into English so you understand what's happening. If you see 'Delivery Failed' or 'Returned', contact Octopus customer service or your seller to understand the issue.
Yes. Paxlo sends push notifications for all major tracking events on your Octopus packages. You can control which events trigger notifications in Paxlo's settings. Most users enable alerts for 'Out for Delivery' and 'Delivered' so they know when their package is on the way and when it arrives. Turn notifications on for each shipment by opening the package and selecting your notification preferences.

Absolutely. Paxlo tracks Octopus same-day and next-day services just like regular express delivery. You'll see more frequent scans throughout the day because the package moves faster through fewer sorting centers. If you order before the cutoff time and select same-day delivery, Paxlo will show you the tracking updates as your package makes its way to you, often with delivery happening the same day or early next morning.
