The difference between emS and postal international small parcels and the comparative analysis of China international postal small parcels and large parcels

In the field of international logistics, emS (EMS) and international postal parcel, as two common shipping methods, have attracted widespread attention from consumers. EMS, or Express Mail Service, is a form of fast logistics service provided worldwide. It is known for its excellent operating system, tracking capabilities and global network, aiming to deliver goods to the recipient safely and reliably quickly. In contrast, postal parcel, according to the regulations of the International Postal Organization (UPU), is a logistics service specifically for small parcels and is suitable for the delivery of parcels that are lighter in weight and smaller in size.

The difference between emS and international postal parcel

From a service quality perspective, EMS enjoys a high reputation for its professional and fast logistics services, providing a more reliable delivery experience. However, postal parcels are relatively slow in delivery and may be at risk of loss or damage. In addition, in terms of price, EMS’s professionalism and fast delivery result in relatively high fees; while postal parcels have certain advantages in the market due to their lower costs. Generally speaking, EMS is suitable for users who have high requirements for the timeliness and traceability of goods, while postal parcels are more suitable for delivery scenarios that do not have high speed requirements but focus on cost-effectiveness.
