Can you add a AK47 for me? :)

They check length of knife in customs. They checked my multitool as well. If it is hunting knife and they will notice it... well, check the law. I guess there is criminal article about possessing such weapons.

Have anyone had problems with Tracking Numbers that has no letters?

I have ordered some items and their tracking number is something like this :

029.....
86.....

Without any RC at the beginning or CN at the end.

And tracking these numbers is impossible.

I have received 2 items with RC-CN tracking numbers, yet the others are nowhere to be found, not even Libanpost tracking gives any information.

Same here, the first days it was tracked with no problems but for more than a week it just vanished somewhere in Shenzen, could it went in the airplane and they didn't scan it?

Yes, totally normal, some sellers use postal services without tracking. I have got many items using these shipping methods and they always arrive ... so be patient.

Forget tracking. Libanpost is really screwed up. I have packages that have been pending at their offices for months and they still don't deliver them. For tracking numbers without letters use the website of the shipping company, not libanpost.

The numbers without CN or characters are untracked numbers.....

They get scanned in Liban post once they arrive to Lebanon, (not all of them)

When buying from aliexpress, if you see Ali express shipping method, or seller's shipping method.. then the numbers will be untracked

First part of your statement is true.
Second part isn't. Most of the items I order are "Ali express shipping method, or seller's shipping method" and have authentic tracking number.
The tracking number is provided by the seller when the item cost usually exceed 2$. (You can even ask for it when it's less, but you will have to pay like 1$ additional fees).

My order number is like yours, on Libanpost they said ''no data found''
On Trackingmore website they saw it moving till the 11th May going to Shenzen but since then nothing at all, I messaged the seller telling him I got no new tracking for more than a week but he was positive it's not lost and that it would take 25 to 59 days to arrive to my country.
Looks like these tracking numbers are based on a even cheaper option than China Airmail, it's called ''China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus''

Hey guys i have 2 concerns now i hope someone has already experienced them:

First i got an item that is currently in "Mazraa office" being "processed" and when i called they said I may not come to pick it up. So how much wait is that and what could go wrong?

Second, another item was at customs clearance in LibanPost track and another track said "item returned from customs (import)" and i have no idea what is it supposed to mean... Any help?

EDIT1: the item that was under processing was sent and either my brother didn't bother to answer the door or the libanpost dude didn't bother to go up and left it at the "concierge"

The second item however shows at 18-5 "held by custom" and at 21-5 "item returned from customs (import). Anyone knows what's up?

So I have 2 different items, both no info for a good time already while they were in China.
The 1st item no info for 10 days, the second one no info for 8 days
None of them had the mention of being in an airport, so you think they are lost in China, it's a ''normal'' bug at China post, or they are already in the planes and they missed the scans?
When should I consider to open a ''dispute''?

I suggest you tell the seller to extend the protection when its like 4-5 days left and if he doesn't cooperate open dispute. As for the item status it happened to me, i received no info at all until 1 month, 14 days when suddently it was at customs clearance. so yeah if the item is a fresh order don't worry for now. I agree small packs pass faster, in a matter of 4 days a keychain came here passed through customs to LibanPost, processed and delivered to my apartment.

Hi guys,
I have couple of orders from Aliexpress through the registered airmail RK XXXXXXXX CN format. it took 40 days average until these orders reached my doorstep ( After the first tracking information appeared )
but I have also made 3-4 orders but these weren't sent through china post Registered airmail.
it has been more than 2 months since the seller shipped them. (I have refunded my money without a problem).

my question is: is there any hope that someday I might receive my items ? OR non traceable items never really makes it ?
if they do really arrive, does any body have enough experience with ordering from Aliexpress in Lebanon that can estimate his Avg business days until he eventually get his order ?

My order without CN or any other letters last scan is from the 11th May meaning 16 days ago, it was export clearance message, on Libanpost it says ''No Data'', I asked the seller and he is confident that it's on the plane, but even if he's right how I will know it reached Lebanon (one day) if Libanpost won't scan it?

Sometimes Liban post scans it, sometimes they don't. Ask the reseller how you can track it. Usually there are some sites where you can track like 17track etc..

I noticed that the untracked numbers usually take the longest time to arrive.

Thanks
So I must count 4-5 weeks in plane in that case, my last order took 3.5 weeks to arrive from Beijing to Beirut.
I have another order which has a CN that took off 4 days ago, let's see if it will be faster or slower

I hope you opened a dispute so you get your money back, 2 months in plane is too long, ask Libanpost if they have them, perhaps they won't give scans online but they could know if there is something for your address stocked in one of their places, I know someone's order that stayed in Dekwaneh Libanpost for 2 months and half before he knew it was there all that time

Yes, I have dealt with aliexpress with more than 100 orders I got my money back with a breeze. but the thing is I wanted to know if anyone have ever recevied an untraceable order
I tried asking Libanpost but they just say "no data avaliable" as it is untrackable. I wonder if the really do anything more than puting the number on their website just like any of us would do
I also E-mailed the Chinese post website but they never replied back.

strange thing that when I used to order anything out of Lebanon,UAE as an example, the orders usually takes 10-15 days until they arrive (traceable and untraceable orders )
