Regional Shipping Considerations
LOVEGOBUY's logistics experts recommend different options based on destination regions:
United States & Canada
For North America, DHL offers the fastest and most stable service (3-5 days typically). For lighter packages under 5kg, ePacket (a China Post service) can be surprisingly efficient (10-18 days) and budget-friendly.
Western Europe
SF Express delivers excellent 5-9 day service to most Western European countries at competitive prices. DHL is recommended for high-value electronics due to perfect insurance coverage.
Australia & New Zealand
Australia benefits from express services with customs clearance advantages from SF Express (5-8 days). New Zealand buyers should consider DHL-eCommerce for better rates than standard DHL.
Southeast Asia
Our warehouse proximity means even China Post Air Mail delivers within 7-12 days to most SEA countries, making it the obvious budget choice for non-urgent items.
