Step 3: Choosing the Best Delivery Method
With your consolidated package ready, LoongBuy will present various shipping options. Here’s how to choose wisely:
| Method Type | Best For | Cost & Safety Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Economy Air Mail | Non-urgent, lightweight packages. | Cheapest |
| Express Courier (e.g., DHL, FedEx) | Faster delivery for valuable/heavier items. | Higher cost, but safest |
| Specialized Lines | Specific countries or item types (e.g., battery-friendly lines). | Balanced cost and speed. Often the best value for combined orders. |
Always compare prices based on your final consolidated weight. A slightly more expensive express option might become worthwhile for a heavy, valuable consolidated parcel due to better insurance and speed.
