Choosing the Best Delivery Method
Once your parcel is consolidated, you'll be presented with several international shipping options. Consider this balance:
| Method Type | Pros (Often Cheaper/Safer) | Cons | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Air Mail | Lowest cost, good for non-urgent items. | Slower (15-30 days), limited tracking. | Lightweight, non-fragile items without time pressure. |
| Registered Air Mail / ePacket | Affordable, includes tracking, reliable for small parcels. | Weight and size restrictions, slower than express. | Small, consolidated packages under 2kg. |
| Express Carriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS) | Very fast (3-7 days), fully tracked, secure, and handles heavier weights. | Most expensive, can have higher customs fees. | Valuable, fragile, or urgent shipments; heavier consolidated parcels. |
