Hi everbody,
We will soon arrive in Beijing with some bulky luggage that we would like to send with the CRE (railway transportation). Do they have an office at the airport or do we need to go to the main station? We arrive late, so I would also like to know when they close.
I believe CRE has offices near train stations, but not at the airport. You will likely need to lug your luggage into town on your own.
From the look of things on Baidu, I see CRE offices very near Beijing Main and Beijing West Stations. Beijing west is much larger station. Beijing South is where the high speed services arrive and depart, it is difficult to navigate around. There is a CRE but it looks to be quite some distance from the south station. Baidu gives both terrible reviews.
Beijing Main's CRE Hours 8am to 6pm
北京市东城区毛家湾胡同甲13号北京站一层
Beijing West's CRE Hours 8am to 6pm
北京市丰台区莲花池东路118号

At least one courier company has drop-off facility right in the PEK terminals. But don’t know if they accept bulky package there or their freight rates.
