Why '等待签收 (Waiting for Sign-Off)' on Hualei cross-border carriers means In Transit—not Delivered!

In Chinese Hualei TMS tracking portals (used by JY Express, Gaopost, YF Express, GDWSE, XQ Express, and Ali Business Logistics), the phrase 等待签收 literally translates to 'Waiting to be signed for'—meaning the parcel is still in final-mile transit awaiting signature, NOT delivered.

What is happening in the supply chain

Many naive translation scripts see the substring 签收 (sign-off/delivered) inside 等待签收 and falsely mark the order as delivered days before it arrives, triggering premature customer disputes. lastscanned explicitly guards against this false positive, mapping 等待签收 to in_transit and only mapping 已签收 / 妥投 to delivered.

Frequently asked questions

Why did another tracking tool say my package was delivered when the Chinese scan says 等待签收?
Because 签收 means signed/delivered, naive substring matchers misread 等待签收 ('waiting for sign-off') as delivered. lastscanned explicitly maps 等待签收 to in_transit and waits for 已签收 or 妥投 before returning delivered.
Which carriers on lastscanned use the Hualei cross-border platform?
JY Express (jyexpress), Gaopost (gaopost), YF Express (yfexpress), Guangdong Weisuyi / GDWSE (gdwse), XQ Express (xqexpress), and Ali Business Logistics (alibusiness).
