For this overnight sleeper ride, the ticket need to be delivered to you instead. We can also arrange delivery to hostel. If you do not want to use hostel address for delivery, we may deliver the paper ticket to one of our partner's office in Hung Hom Station. You can collect the express there by using our confirmation letter.

ReplyIs 1 hour enough to collect ticket and finish the Customs in Hongqiao Station?

Answered by Finley from CANADA | Jan. 15, 2019 18:2100Reply
00ReplyIn fact it would be better if you can be there a little earlier, but not due to the customs but ticket collection. During holiday time, the station could be extremely crowded so you may face a long queue for ticket collection. If possible, maybe 1.5 hours would be better. The customs only occurs after your arrival in HK, not in Shanghai.

00ReplyIf 3 pieces of luggage in total for 3 passengers, it should be fine. You can take them with you into the carriage directly without extra fee. If the luggage size is too larger, it may questioned by the station. But the detailed cost is not clear.
