YTO Express is 圆通速递, a Chinese express company based in Shanghai and listed on two exchanges (Shanghai 600233, Hong Kong 06123.HK). On its own site it describes a domestic network of more than 5,000 branch companies and over 90,000 service outlets and terminal stores, covering all 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of mainland China, and international delivery to more than 150 countries and regions through partners in 18 countries. The company is also known by the English rendering of its Chinese name, Yuantong Express, which is why searches for both names land on the same carrier.
A YTO number usually reaches you because a seller or a marketplace in China chose YTO to carry the parcel, rather than because you picked it at checkout. On the 24hTrack platform the journeys recorded under this name are mostly cross-border rather than purely domestic: a typical history starts at a warehouse or collection point in China, passes through a facility in a city such as Shenzhen or Qingdao, is handed to an airline, flies, clears customs, and then appears at a facility in the destination country before the final delivery scan. Australia shows up often among the delivery locations, alongside destinations elsewhere.
Ships for: Sellers and marketplaces shipping out of mainland China, Cross-border e-commerce orders bound for Australia and other overseas destinations, Shippers using YTO's international lanes alongside its domestic Chinese network
Typical delivery time: Measured on the 24hTrack platform from the first scan to the delivery scan, half of the YTO parcels arrived within about 4 days and 80% within about 8. A typical journey carries around eight scans, and the longer ones run to more than twenty — the extra entries are the flight and customs stages of a cross-border route, not a sign that anything has gone wrong.
Knowing where your parcel is makes it easier to plan the day you collect it. With 24hTrack you don't need an account on YTO Express's website. Paste the tracking number in the box above and we work out which carrier it belongs to and show you every scan YTO Express has published, on one page.

YTO Express is 圆通速递, a Chinese express company headquartered in Shanghai and listed in both Shanghai and Hong Kong. Its own site describes more than 5,000 branch companies and over 90,000 outlets across all 31 provinces and regions of mainland China, plus international delivery to over 150 countries and regions. You will also see it written as Yuantong Express — that is the same company, just the English form of the Chinese name.
Yuantong and YTO are the same company. The prefix on your number is a different question: YTO numbers reach the 24hTrack platform in several different shapes, and some of them begin with letters that other companies also use, so the number alone is not a reliable way to tell who is carrying your parcel. Paste it on 24hTrack and the carrier is worked out for you rather than guessed from the prefix.
On the 24hTrack platform, half of the YTO parcels we saw delivered arrived within about 4 days of their first scan and 80% within about 8 days. That clock starts at the first scan rather than at the moment you ordered, so add the time the seller needs to pack and hand the parcel over — on a cross-border order that gap is often longer than the transit itself.
Long gaps are normal in the middle of a cross-border journey. Once a parcel has been handed to an airline there is often nothing new to report until it lands and clears customs at the other end, and that stretch can run for several days without a single scan. The other common quiet spell is right at the end, when a local company takes over the final delivery. Silence at those two points usually means the parcel is moving rather than stuck.
Sorting facilities are named after the city they sit in, not after anywhere your parcel is going, so a scan reading Shenzhen or Qingdao is a hub the parcel passed through on its way out. The scans worth reading are the ones that mention departure, arrival, customs or delivery; the facility names in between are just the route. 24hTrack lists them in order so you can see which stage has actually been reached.
Yes. Paste the number on 24hTrack and the status comes back straight away — it is free, there is no sign-up and no app to install. You can paste several numbers at once if you are waiting on more than one order, and if a different company takes over the last leg the tracking continues rather than stopping at the handover.
