China Post Registered Air Mail, EMS and ePacket. The standard shipping rates provided by the system are for major express delivery /The prices announced by transportation companies in mainland China and the corresponding discount rates are based on the current preferential discounts negotiated between the platform and China Post.
The “other countries” and “no delivery” displayed on the platform have two meanings. First, some countries do not have postal services or the postal routes are not ideal. Second, some countries have better logistics options. If the recipient is in a country where China Post does not deliver small parcels, the seller can ship via EMS. In the “Delivery Time Combination” tab, the “Committed Delivery Time” is the time it takes for the platform to judge that the package will be delivered to the recipient.

Sellers should know that the promised delivery time is not the actual time from when the package is sent to the buyer signing for it. In order to better protect the rights and interests of both sellers and buyers, before setting the promised delivery time, the seller The following 3 factors should be considered;
Buyers’ purchasing experience;. The actual situation of the postal route;
Prevent buyers from disputes arising from time before the promised delivery time expires.
The seller needs to appropriately modify the promised delivery time according to the actual situation. This example is the final custom time setting.
3) Click the “Save” button. Sellers must customize shipping costs based on their actual situation and avoid blind imitation. Because international logistics is affected by various factors such as national policies, logistics fee adjustments, extreme weather, political reasons, postal route conditions, etc., sellers should set different freight templates in different periods.
