BaseTao Shipping: How to Estimate Delivery Windows by Country
A practical guide to using BaseTao’s route chart for understanding standard delivery times to key international markets.
Planning your international shipping is a crucial part of the purchasing process. At BaseTao, we provide transparent and data-driven estimates to help you manage expectations. One of the most effective tools for this is our Route Chart, which outlines standard delivery times for major destinations like Europe, the United States, and other key markets.
Understanding the BaseTao Route Chart
The Route Chart is a consolidated view based on historical data from our partnered carriers (such as EMS, DHL, SAL, and others). It provides standard timeframes, meaning the typical number of business days from when the parcel is dispatched by our warehouse until it clears customs in the destination country.

Sample Delivery Windows (Standard Service)
Below is a simplified example based on typical Route Chart data. Always refer to the latest chart in your BaseTao account for the most current information.
| Region / Country | Common Carriers | Estimated Standard Window | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | EMS, DHL, SAL | 10 - 20 business days | EMS is often in the 10-15 day range. SAL is economical but slower. |
| Western Europe (e.g., UK, Germany, France) | EMS, DHL, Europe Special Line | 12 - 25 business days | DHL Express can be 5-10 days. Local customs can add variance. |
| Australia & Canada | EMS, AUS/SAL | 10 - 30 business days | Highly variable due to geography and customs. Express options are faster. |
| Asia (e.g., Japan, Singapore) | EMS, DHL | 7 - 15 business days | Generally the fastest regions due to proximity. |
How to Use the Chart for Estimation
- Select Your Country:
- Check the Route Chart:
- Add Buffer Time:delivery window, add 2-5 business days for warehouse processing/packing and a buffer for potential delays at customs or local delivery. For example: Route Chart Time (15 days) + Processing (3 days) + Buffer (5 days) = 23-day estimated window.
