Online shopping

Ask your hotel before ordering online

A confirmation template, not a promise of delivery.

Ask your hotel whether it accepts parcels for your booking before ordering. Confirm the recipient name, Chinese address, usable contact number, storage arrangements and any fees directly with the property.

Ask the seller for an arrival estimate and leave enough time before checkout. A delivery estimate can change; decide what you will do if the parcel arrives after you leave.

This checklist is an editorial planning aid. ChinaHaul has not verified any hotel’s parcel policy and cannot receive or forward your purchases.

A message for your hotel

您好,我以【姓名】预订了【日期】的住宿。请问入住期间可以代收购物快递吗?请确认收件人姓名、中文收货地址、联系电话、包裹保管期限及是否收费。如果快递在我退房后到达,应如何处理?
