If you’ve just finished shopping on Chinese platforms and are wondering how to get those packages delivered safely to your country, you’re in the right place. Shipping from China isn’t quite the same as mailing a parcel within your own country—there are extra steps and rules to be aware of.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to use GeeseNest to ship your package internationally from China. Whether it’s your first time or you’re just looking for a more reliable shipping method, this step-by-step article will help you get started with confidence.

Step 1: Sign Up and Get Your Chinese Warehouse Address
Head to geesenest.com and click Get Started to create your free account.
You can sign up using your email or directly log in with your Google account. (Tip: If you’re not receiving the verification code via email, use the Google login—it’s easier and more reliable.)
Once your account is active, go to My Account to find your personalized GeeseNest China warehouse address. This is the address you’ll use when purchasing from any Chinese shopping platform like Taobao or JD.com.
Step 2: Shopping on Taobao
We recommend using Taobao’s web version for easier navigation. Simply scan the QR code to log in via the app, or register with your mobile number. Once logged in, switch the site language to English (in the settings menu) for a better user experience.
Search for the item you want (e.g., “Nike sneakers” or “Thom Browne jacket”) and add it to your cart. Before checkout, enter the GeeseNest warehouse address you received earlier as your shipping destination.
Once you complete payment, your seller will ship the order to our warehouse. Now, it’s our turn to handle the rest.
Step 3: Register Your Package in the GeeseNest System
When your item has been shipped from the seller, log into your GeeseNest account and register the incoming package under “Packages.” This allows us to properly identify and manage your delivery when it arrives at our warehouse.
Make sure to include:
- Your Taobao order number
- Tracking number
- Item description (e.g., “Adidas Hoodie”)
- Estimated value
Step 4: Submit for Packaging & Choose a Shipping Line
Once your package is marked as “Arrived at Warehouse,” select it and proceed to the Packaging Request step.
Before we prepare your shipment, you’ll need to:
- Enter your final delivery address (your home address abroad)
- Select a shipping line based on your budget and desired delivery time
- Prepay your shipping costs
GeeseNest currently offers multiple international shipping options, including:
- Air Freight: Faster delivery, slightly higher cost
- Sea Freight: Budget-friendly, slower delivery
- Fast Sea Line: Good balance of price and time
Step 5: Final Weight, Repacking & Dispatch
After you choose a shipping method, our warehouse team will professionally repack your item(s), calculate the actual shipping weight, and prepare your package for dispatch.
💡 Keep in mind: We charge based on either actual weight or dimensional weight (whichever is greater). Use our Shipping Calculator on the GeeseNest website to estimate costs in advance, but final billing is based on repacked measurements.
Once the packing is complete, we’ll arrange for the package to be picked up and transferred to our logistics hub for international shipping.
- Air freight orders will first be transported to Hong Kong, where they are loaded onto flights by our logistics partners.
- Sea freight orders are sent to port terminals for overseas shipping by cargo vessel.
Common Questions (FAQ)
Why is my tracking info not updating?
Tracking usually updates 3–5 days after dispatch. If it hasn’t updated yet, your package is likely still in transit to the logistics hub or customs clearance. This is normal.
Who handles the last-mile delivery in my country?
We typically work with trusted partners like UPS, Speedaf, and DHL for final delivery. However, carriers are assigned based on your shipping route and country—specific selection is not available.
Should I buy insurance?
If your item has high value, we strongly recommend purchasing insurance. GeeseNest provides free insurance for packages valued under ¥500. For anything above, optional paid coverage is available.
What happens if my package is lost or held by customs?
If insured, we provide compensation up to the declared value (maximum capped by policy). For uninsured packages, we compensate at ¥50/kg plus the shipping cost. Customs holds are treated similarly, depending on your coverage.
Can I ship other products besides clothing?
Yes. GeeseNest supports forwarding of clothing, shoes, accessories, electronics, beauty products, and more—except for prohibited or restricted items.
