DHL: Suitable for goods weighing less than 21kg, it will take about 3-5 days
UPS: Above 100KG, the price is favorable, and the validity period is about 5 days.
TNT: Suitable for bulk goods above 100KG. The price is cheaper than UPS, but the delivery time is relatively slow, about 7 days.
FEDEX: Applicable to 21-99KG level, it will take about 5-7 days.
EMS: It has strong customs clearance capabilities and supports the transportation of many products, but the timeliness is unstable and it takes about 10 days if the speed is slow.

In addition, you can also ship the goods to overseas warehouses for storage first. When buyers place orders, the overseas warehouses will be responsible for shipping directly. Because they are shipped locally, the timeliness is fast and the buyer’s experience is better. good.
Of course, the goods must be transported to overseas warehouses first. Nowadays, many overseas warehouses also provide first-leg transportation services, which can realize the one-stop service of transporting products to overseas warehouses.
