Everyday life

Pick up a package without guessing what the clerk needs.

Package stations are common in Chinese neighborhoods. You may need to read out a pickup code, show a message, or confirm which shelf your parcel is on.

我来取快递 (wǒ lái qǔ kuài dì) means “I am here to pick up a package.”

Ask for help
