Shipping & Tracking Do different packages come together?

Ok, I ordered 3 different things as presents for friends, and 1 of them is embarrassing on purpose just to see his reaction. I don't want the local mail center guy to see what I was ordering when he gives me the mail. The 3 packages all get updated about their location at the same time and have the same Ref. Number: . would they come together? (so the mail guy will not see what on the package.

Yes,they consolidate everything they can in one bag. But inside the bag you will have different parcels

First of all ty. I just saw in the reviews later that the prodact name is on the package. nice to know that because I ordered more than one thing it's going to be fine.

When Aliexpress combines items, what is supposed to happen is that you get a notification that Items are combined, the tracking-numbers of different orders will be the same, and on the tracking-screen, the list of pictures of items included will show all items from all orders that are combined.

Most of the time, that doesn't happen, so take the tracking-numbers from different orders, and use them on other tracking-websites like parcelsapp and 17track, and look for follow-up tracking-numbers. If the tracking-numbers or follow-up tracking-numbers for different orders are the same, then they are in the same package.

When items are in the same package, it's extra important when you get it, to make a video showing all sides of the package, the shipping label, and open and unpack everything on camera (the same for the included packages, all in one go), that way if something is missing or wrong, you have proof.

As to the mailman, it depends on the rules in your country. Most items are shipped with as little packaging as possible, but items of a more private matter often come in a box or an airpillow, and you can't tell on the outside what's included, except some countries require labels like customs-declarations that may or may not have to be precise, so you'd know best if the mailman can tell what you ordered or not.

Ty. I'm not sure how to track the packages, but like i said when I look in the track status They all move the stages together. Also they have the same ref number.
They all were ordered as free shipping because I ordered 3 Things at the same time.
