In international shipping, the "fastest" option isn't always obvious. It's a balance of transit speed, customs reliability, and total cost. With RizzitGo's multiple carrier partners, making the right choice is crucial. This guide shows you how to use a simple spreadsheet to find your optimal route.
The Three Pillars of Fast Delivery
Forget just comparing stated "transit days." Real-world speed depends on:
- Average Real Transit Times:
- Customs Clearance Results:
- Total Shipping Costs:
- Customs Clearance Results:
Building Your Comparison Spreadsheet
Create a table with the following columns to visualize and compare your RizzitGo options.
| Shipping Route / Carrier | Avg. Transit Time (Days) | Customs Reliability (Score 1-5) | Base Shipping Cost | Estimated Duties & Taxes | Total Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RizzitGo Express (Air) | 3-5 | 4 | $45.00 | $12.00 | $57.00 | Fastest, pre-cleared customs |
| RizzitGo Standard (Air) | 6-8 | 3 | $30.00 | $15.00 | $45.00 | Occasional 1-2 day customs hold |
| RizzitGo Eco (Sea & Land) | 18-25 | 4 | $15.00 | $10.00 | $25.00 | Slow but predictable for non-urgent goods |
How to Analyze Your Data
1. Identify the True Fastest
Sort by Avg. Transit Time. Then, check its Customs Reliability. A 5-day service with a score of 5 is often faster than a 3-day service with a score of 2 due to unpredictable delays.
2. Calculate Value for Speed
Compare the Total Cost
3. Spot Hidden Risks
Use the Notes
