How the Cainiao → Relais Colis handoff works

Follow the parcel across both networks without waiting on asynchronous webhooks or losing visibility at the handoff boundary.

1. AliExpress point-relais checkout & Cainiao consolidation: When a French buyer selects a local Relais Colis shop at AliExpress checkout, Cainiao prints a dual Cainiao + Relais Colis barcode in Dongguan.
2. Liège (LGG) / Roissy air arrival & customs clearance: The parcel clears EU IOSS customs at Cainiao's Liège eHub or Paris CDG and boards a feeder truck to Relais Colis's hub in Combs-la-Ville or Lyon.
3. Relais Colis shop delivery & SMS pickup alert: Relais Colis drops the package at the chosen neighborhood shop ('Votre colis est disponible en Relais') and sends a pickup email/SMS.
