Before packages get to the international departure transport hubs, they have to go through inspection, registration, and proper routing in a sorting center.
One of the primary AliExpress sorting facilities is in Dalingshan Town, and we are going to look at the ins and outs of this specific center.
Why Does AliExpress Rate The Dalingshan Town Sorting Facility So Highly?
The Dalingshan Town AliExpress sorting facility is strategically positioned among 3 Dongguan Districts.
The longest distance between Dalingshan Town and Dongguan is only 25.5 km. Again, Dongguan is the 4th largest Chinese city in terms of export shipments.
Now, AliExpress rates their Dalingshan Town sorting facility so highly because it’s near the Dongguan industrial city, where a high number of AliExpress customers order their products.
Considering the 3 Dongguan districts and the infrastructural developments such as the exits from all motorways, Humen High-Speed Rail Station, and the National Expressway 107, it’s convenient for packages to move fast from where they were ordered from to this sorting center.

What Does “[Dalingshan Town] Package Not Accepted By Sorting Center” Mean?
This tracking status means that due to an issue with the package, the sorting center won’t process it further as it won’t make it to the recipient.

For example, there is little to no chance of the Dalingshan Town sorting center accepting to process a knife heading to Canada. They know that such a package might not go past the customs office.
When this sorting center declines some packages, they end up sending them back to the sellers. From that point, the buyer has to get an allowable replacement package or refund.

This tracking status means that your package didn’t pass the security check, which made it impossible to be taken to the Dalingshan Town sorting facility.

Why Is My Package Stuck In The Dalingshan Town Sorting Facility For So Long?
If your package status doesn’t move for several days, these are the leading reasons explaining the “Why”:
- This sorting center is backed up: The Dalingshan Town processing center sorts thousands of packages, and in some instances, the staff there might have backlogs, especially during peak holiday times
- Bad Weather: Skies have to be clear after packages have been sorted to enable them to get safely loaded into vehicles toward the departure transport hub. If there is bad weather in Dalingshan town, it means that they will have to wait until the weather is perfect for normal operations to resume
- There is a perceived problem with your package: Whenever there is an issue with your package making the sorting hard, the staff there keeps it aside as more inspection happens. Depending on how many parcels they handle before getting back to yours, it might take several days or weeks. In all these instances, there isn’t any relevant scan about your package, so you won’t have any updates.
What Do I Do When My Package Is Stuck In The Dalingshan Sorting Center For Long?
- Use a Third-party Tracking Service: When your package status doesn’t change for days, using a free third-party tracking service such as 17Track will give you finer details about the real status of your package. See, the AliExpress tracking page doesn’t scan packages in each step
- Get in touch with the seller: If it’s past the estimated delivery date, we recommend that you contact the seller and plan on the forge-ahead. You might agree that they send you a replacement package or a refund.
