Track TFS shipments in real-time with Paxlo. Get instant updates on your Chinese domestic parcels and international deliveries.
TFS, known as Tian Feng Speed, is one of China's mid-tier express carriers handling millions of parcels daily. Founded to serve the booming e-commerce market, TFS operates across mainland China with a focus on cost-effective domestic delivery and growing international reach. The carrier has built a reputation for reliable handling of small to medium-sized packages, particularly popular among online sellers on Taobao, Pinduoduo, and independent Chinese retailers.
Unlike the major players like SF Express or ZTO, TFS operates with lower overhead and competitive pricing, making it attractive for budget-conscious merchants. The company has expanded significantly since its establishment, now maintaining sorting hubs in key logistics centers like Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Shanghai. This strategic positioning allows TFS to optimize routes across China's complex supply chain while maintaining reasonable delivery timeframes.
TFS has invested in modernizing its sorting facilities with automation technology, improving accuracy and speed. The carrier's network strength lies in smaller cities and rural areas where larger competitors have thinner coverage. This makes TFS particularly useful for businesses targeting lower-tier cities (Sanjiu cities) across China.
Paxlo connects directly to TFS's tracking system, pulling real-time updates every few hours. When you input a TFS tracking number into Paxlo, the app immediately fetches the current location, delivery status, and estimated arrival time. No need to visit TFS's website or navigate through Chinese-language interfaces.
The integration eliminates the friction of switching between apps or translation tools. Whether you're tracking a purchase from a Chinese seller or monitoring business inventory shipments, Paxlo handles all the backend communication with TFS's systems.
Tracking directly through TFS requires dealing with their Chinese-language website or relying on merchant notifications. Paxlo solves three major pain points:
Many users tracking TFS shipments are international buyers purchasing from Chinese marketplaces. They appreciate not having to copy-paste tracking numbers into multiple websites or download separate apps for each carrier.
Paxlo's tracking data shows TFS delivers domestic shipments within China in 2-5 days on average. International routes take 10-20 days depending on destination and customs processing. Peak season (Chinese New Year, October Golden Week, and 11/11 Singles Day) can add 3-5 days to typical timeframes.
The carrier's on-time delivery rate sits around 92-95% based on tracked shipments, which is solid for a mid-tier operator. Delays typically occur in rural areas, during weather events, or when packages require customs inspection. Paxlo makes these delays visible immediately, so you're never guessing why a parcel is stuck.
When TFS handles international shipments, the handoff process involves local customs brokers and partner carriers in destination countries. Paxlo tracks these transitions seamlessly. You'll see updates shift from TFS's sorting facilities to partner carriers like DHL, FedEx, or local postal services depending on the destination.
International packages typically start with TFS in China, move to a gateway airport, then transfer to the receiving country's carrier. Paxlo identifies these carrier changes automatically and continues tracking the parcel under the new carrier ID. This prevents the frustrating experience of losing visibility when a shipment changes hands.
Buying from Pinduoduo or Taobao sellers often means TFS will be your carrier. The tracking number typically arrives 24 hours after payment. In Paxlo, you can paste the number immediately even if updates haven't appeared yet. The app will poll TFS's system and notify you the moment the first scan is recorded.
Another common scenario: you're expecting multiple packages from different Chinese sellers. Paxlo consolidates all these TFS shipments into one easy view, showing you at a glance which have arrived, which are in transit, and which have delays. You can set custom labels like 'Electronics Haul' or 'Gift Order' to keep things organized.
Paxlo's search function lets you quickly locate TFS shipments by carrier name or search your entire tracking history. This is useful if you've made multiple purchases and need to find a specific order's tracking information months later.
Your TFS tracking number appears in your seller's order confirmation or shipping notification. If you bought from a Chinese marketplace like Taobao or Pinduoduo, check your order page for a link labeled 'Track Shipment' or '物流信息' (logistics info). The tracking number is usually 13-15 digits. Copy it into Paxlo's search bar, and the app will retrieve all status updates directly from TFS.
This typically means TFS hasn't scanned the parcel yet. After you purchase, the seller has up to 48 hours to hand the package to TFS. Once TFS receives it, their first scan appears within 24 hours. If you've been waiting longer than 48 hours since ordering and still see no updates, contact the seller to confirm they've shipped. In rare cases, the tracking number may be slightly incorrect, so double-check before reaching out to seller support.
Yes. Paxlo tracks TFS shipments all the way through their international network. You'll see updates as the parcel moves from TFS sorting centers in China to the gateway airport, then through customs, and finally to a partner carrier in your country. When the handoff happens, Paxlo automatically switches to tracking with the receiving country's carrier while keeping the full shipment history in one timeline.
Paxlo calculates estimates based on the package's current location and historical TFS delivery data. Domestic China shipments usually deliver within the stated timeframe unless delays occur. International shipments depend heavily on customs processing, which adds unpredictability. Paxlo shows you the last-mile estimate as the package approaches your country, which is more accurate than initial estimates given at purchase. If a package is delayed, Paxlo flags it and explains likely reasons (customs hold, weather, regional backlog).

Refund responsibility falls on your seller, not the carrier or Paxlo. File a claim through your marketplace (Taobao, Pinduoduo, etc.) with the TFS tracking number visible in Paxlo as evidence of shipment. Most platforms give sellers 30 days to resolve lost packages before forcing a refund. Paxlo's tracking timeline serves as documentation that you received proper notification from the seller. For extremely valuable items, some sellers purchase TFS's optional insurance, which you can verify in your order details.
