User Feedback & Best For
Ideal for urgent shipments, high-value items, and commercial goods where speed and reliability matter most. Users recommend it for electronics, branded apparel, and essential business supplies
As a leader in Asian logistics, SF Express provides reliable and relatively fast service, especially for routes between China and Southeast Asia/Europe. A solid alternative to DHL for moderate-weight parcels (2kg – 30kg). Customers find it reliable for consumer electronics, accessories, and general merchandise, particularly when shipping to the UK, France, and Australia. EMS is a global postal express service that often provides a balance between speed and affordability. The preferred choice for larger, non-urgent packages under 20kgshoes, bulk clothing orders, and household items. Their size limitations are more forgiving than some courier services. ePacket is the go-to economical solution for lightweight shipments, specifically designed for e-commerce. The undisputed champion for lightweight items under 2kg. Highly popular for dispatching small electronics, phone cases, fashion accessories, and sample products. Not advised for high-value or time-sensitive goods. An economical, non-express service for heavier items than ePacket, with full tracking to the destination country. Suited for economical shipping of larger but lower-value goods (2kg – 20kg). Recommended for non-fashion textiles, hobbyist items, and bulk consignments where cost matters far more than speed. A specialized e-commerce carrier gaining traction for combining affordability of postal services with courier-grade speed and tracking. A popular and balanced option for small to medium-sized e-commerce parcels (0.5kg – 15kg). Buyers frequently use it for apparel, shoes, and light general merchandise
Think of selecting an AllChinaBuy shipping method in three dimensions: urgency, item profile, and destination.
