Demonic_Duck Posted February 21, 2016 at 11:31 PM Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 at 11:31 PM 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamille Posted February 21, 2016 at 11:38 PM Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 at 11:38 PM 志春 贾 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic_Duck Posted February 22, 2016 at 12:04 AM Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 at 12:04 AM 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

889 Posted February 22, 2016 at 11:09 AM Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 at 11:09 AM 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." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic_Duck Posted February 22, 2016 at 11:31 AM Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 at 11:31 AM 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 贾志春（收） 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu Posted February 23, 2016 at 09:18 AM Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 at 09:18 AM 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdWe Posted February 23, 2016 at 09:34 AM Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 at 09:34 AM Yep, thats done: http://postimg.org/image/arl23ae31/ I dont have any phone number but it will be just fine, i supposeYou have been most helpfull Lu, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted February 24, 2016 at 03:07 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 at 03:07 AM No, the city is not Guangzhou. It's Shenzhen in Guangdong Province. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted February 24, 2016 at 09:37 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 at 09:37 AM 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdWe Posted February 24, 2016 at 10:04 AM Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 at 10:04 AM Ok, will hope so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdWe Posted April 29, 2016 at 08:56 AM Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 at 08:56 AM 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? Image: http://postimg.org/image/xn7jvvwcx/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted April 29, 2016 at 09:18 AM Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 at 09:18 AM 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted April 29, 2016 at 10:01 AM Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 at 10:01 AM 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.

onebir Posted April 29, 2016 at 07:27 PM Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 at 07:27 PM 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.
