WTF is the linehaul office?
I ordered something from AliExpress on Dec 05, it arrived at the linehaul office on Dec 20th, it was delivered to the last mile carrier on Dec 29 and from there… black hole.
It took 15 days to get from China to Toronto and 8 weeks to get lost in the black hole. It passed the due date of Feb 5, IIRC, I opened a case with AliExpress and I’ve got a refund. However, I have another two packages with the last mile carrier that sit there since Jan 29 and Feb 03. How long does it take the last mile carrier to deliver in the same city?

I’m boiling!

Saw the same thing a few weeks ago  The "line haul" is the carrier that takes the package over a great distance.  In the case of AliExpress, that is probably the carrier that takes the package from China/HongKong to a Western  or European country.

In my very limited experience, it is faster than USPS/affiliates  can deliver from Chicago, IL or New Jersey to my home in Cleveland, OH or less than 1000 miles.

You can always complain to your local postal service. :)

Please edit out your political BS, no one cares about it here.

Next time pay a few more cents for aliexpress standard shipment instead of super economy or cainiao, and your stuff will show up faster.

From a usually reliable source,

--- Quote ---If your AliExpress order has the status “Arrived at Line-haul Office” or “Received by Line-haul Office,” it means your package is at a transportation hub, where it will be sorted and delivered to an air, land, or sea shipping carrier. There, it will be loaded onto a truck or plane that will ship it to your country.Jan 21, 2024
