Tips on choosing the right mode of transport in international express delivery
To choose the right mode of transport in international express delivery, you can consider the following tips:
1. Small parcels with low timeliness requirements:
Prefer EMS: EMS is China Post's international express delivery service, which is relatively cheap and suitable for sending small parcels with low timeliness requirements. EMS has a wide international network coverage and can reach many countries and regions around the world.
2. More economical small parcel options:
International small parcel service: Compared with EMS, international small parcel service may be cheaper, but the timeliness is relatively poor. This service is suitable for customers who are price-sensitive and have low timeliness requirements.
3. High timeliness requirements:
Choose the four major international express delivery companies: UPS, DHL, TNT, and FedEx are world-renowned express delivery companies that provide fast and reliable international express delivery services. They are suitable for sending valuables, with strong timeliness, strong customs declaration capabilities, and high service quality. For goods that need to be delivered quickly, these four express delivery companies are good choices.
4. Specific regions and countries:
International dedicated line service: For specific regions and countries, such as the Middle East or European countries, you can choose the corresponding international dedicated line service. These dedicated line services have obvious advantages in these regions, such as fast timeliness, strong customs clearance capabilities, and high security. Through dedicated line services, you can ensure that the goods arrive at the destination faster and safer.
5. Comprehensive consideration of cost and service:
When choosing a mode of transportation, in addition to considering timeliness, you also need to consider factors such as cost, service quality, and security. Sometimes, although a certain mode of transportation has a higher price, the service quality and security it provides may be higher, which may be more suitable for certain specific goods.
6. Use an agency or platform:
Sometimes, it may be more economical to send goods through an international express agency or platform. These agencies or platforms usually cooperate with multiple express companies and can provide more favorable prices and more flexible service options.
