For overseas buyers, shipping speed and cost are among the top concerns when shopping from China. At LOVEGOBUY, we understand the importance of reliable logistics—that’s why we offer multiple shipping solutions tailored to different needs. Below, we compare popular options like China Post, SF Express, and DHL to help you make an informed decision.
1. China Post (Small Parcel & EMS)
- Speed: 15–60 days (Small Parcel) / 10–20 days (EMS)
- Cost: $ (Most affordable for lightweight items)
- Safety: Basic tracking, higher risk for lost parcels compared to premiums
Best for: Non-urgent, low-value items to North America/Europe; unstable in some regions (e.g., South America delays).
2. SF Express
- Speed: 5–12 days (fastest for Asia-Pacific, e.g., Japan/Singapore in ≤7 days)
- Cost: $$$ (20% pricier than China Post but 40% cheaper than DHL for Asia routes)
- Safety: Reliable tracking, lower damage rates
Best for: Urgent shipments to Asia; sensitive items (electronics) where balance of speed/price matters.
3. DHL/UPS/FedEx
- Speed: 3–5 days (USA/Europe), 2–4 days (Middle East)
- Cost: $$$$ (High fuel surcharges; check dimensional weight rules)
- Safety: Premium handling + full insurance (+ customs prepay advantages)
Best for: High-value products (designer goods) to strict-check countries (Germany/Brazil) needing quick clearance.
Regional Considerations
- USA/Canada: DHL excels for speed; SF Express offers mid-tier savings
- EU: Tax-friendly solutions (e.g., DHL’s prepaid VAT option)
- Rural Areas: China Post may face delays; premiums guarantee door-to-door
