You already have the Chinese address and you're asking for the English address... so that you can send it back to China?

Just print it out and stick it onto the envelope if you can't write it.

Also, add on "PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA" at the end so that people in your country know where to send it.

Funny, they wrote the family name at the end, and even let a space before it.

 

It might be me but I had never seen that before (pinyin not included of course). Is it common in addresses in China?

[Demonic_Duck]

Yeah actually that's weird as hell. Also don't know why 廣東省 is in traditional when the rest is in simplified.

Either way, shouldn't affect the package getting to its destination.

[EdWe]

Guys, youre the best. Thank you

As well, the whole address is backwards; in Chinese it should go country, province, etc. Further, if the OP is mailing this from the US, then postal clerks can demand the whole address also be romanized, but maybe he'll get away with "Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, China."

[Demonic_Duck]

Yeah, just noticed it was backwards.

Fair point about romanization. Print this on the label:

704, Building 4, Niulanqianxincun, Minzhi Road, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, Guangdong

PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

518000

广东省深圳市宝安区民治街道牛栏前新村4栋704

Ist not from us, its from country named Latvia, still i will use this format as Demonic replied:

704, Building 4, Niulanqianxincun, Minzhi Road, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, Guangdong

PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
518000
广东省深圳市宝安区民治街道牛栏前新村4栋704

Jeez i will go mad with this one rofl

Was at postal office and i need to write down seperately on a custom drclaration field like: name,

surname,

business (if there is one),

street

postcode

city

Country at leasr i know

So can some seperate adress for those fields and can i write in english? I just cant write in chinese. Dann, this is even funny as hell.

Name: JIA Zhichun [note that Jia is this person's family name, so technically they only need 'Jia', but better give the full name]

Business: not given, so there probably isn't one

Street: 704, Building 4, Niulanqianxincun, Minzhi Road [although strictly speaking it's just 'Minzhi Road', but better give the full address]

Postcode: 518000

City: Guangzhou

Country: PR China

 

If I were you I'd print out the address in Chinese and also stick that on the package. Several times, if you can. And include a phone number of Jia Zhichun, if you have one. All that increases the odds of your package reaching its destination.

 

Good luck!

[EdWe]

Yep, thats done: http://postimg.org/image/arl23ae31/

I dont have any phone number but it will be just fine, i suppose

You have been most helpfull Lu, thank you

[889]

No, the city is not Guangzhou. It's Shenzhen in Guangdong Province.

[Lu]

You're right, I didn't pay close enough attention :-( Sorry EdWe. I think the parcel should get there alright though, with the Chinese address on it.

[EdWe]

Ok, will hope so

[EdWe]

That package wont let me live, im afraid. 

Got back, also got refund so its ok, still - whats the reason? Can please someone translate those red chineese words?

They're blurred in part, but they might simply be chops, name stamps of the postal workers sending this back.

 

As you can tell from the English, it was returned because the addressee didn't claim it. (Note the "X," which is hidden a bit by the postmark.)

 

It obviously got to the right place, since the postmark is from the Minzhi [Road] Post Office in Shenzhen.

[roddy]

Yeah, they look like workers' namestamps used to show whose hands it's passed through. No useful info for you, I'm afraid. Assumption would be they left a note for the recipient to pick it up, but it just sat in the office until it was time to return it. 

[EdWe]

Ok, thanks. Anyways - will keep in

[onebir]

It seems some Chinese (& presumably other) sellers on Ebay etc just don't pick up packages they don't want to give refunds for. The two-way postal delay is longer than the period allowed for a dispute, particularly if the buyer holds on to the item for a while before returning it.
