Regional Shipping Recommendations
United States & Canada
For North American destinations, DHL emerges as the most reliable option with consistent 3-5 day delivery times. While China Post offers budget-friendly alternatives at 20-30 days transit, LOVEGOBUY's consolidated air freight provides the optimal balance at 10-15 days with enhanced tracking capabilities.
European Union
EU shipments benefit from SF Express's specialized European routes (8-12 days) and competitive pricing. For time-sensitive documents or high-value items, DHL's customs-cleared express service ensures 2-4 day delivery to major European cities.
Australia & New Zealand
Australia-bound packages show excellent results with ePacket (12-18 days) for items under 2kg. LOVEGOBUY's Australia direct line combines sea and air transport for heavier shipments, cutting costs by 40% compared to pure air freight while maintaining 15-20 day delivery windows.
