一1、 Comparison of main transportation modes in terms of timeliness International express delivery Mainstream countries in Europe and America: 3-7 working days (DHL/FedEx/UPS, etc.) Japan, South Korea/Southeast Asia: 2-4 working days (urgent services can be shortened to 1-2 days) Australia and New Zealand region: 3-7 working days (direct flights have better efficiency) International air freight China → United States/Canada: 3-7 working days (including customs clearance) China → Europe: 3-8 working days (connecting flights extended to 6-8 days) Sea freight Standard container transportation: 20-40 days (greatly affected by port congestion) LCL service: delivery time is 5-10 days longer than FCL 2、 Key influencing factors Customs clearance efficiency Developed countries usually complete it within 1-3 working days Special products (such as food/cosmetics) may have an additional 2-5 days Extreme situation delay The surge in holiday delivery volume may lead to delays of 30% -50% Adverse weather conditions can extend air freight delivery by 1-3 days Note: It is recommended to confirm the specific delivery time with the carrier in advance. Some dedicated logistics lines can provide a compromise solution of 7-15 days

1、 Domestic wholesale orders Standard delivery time Spot goods are usually shipped within 24 hours (some items that require transfer may take up to 2-7 days) The cut-off time is before 5:00 pm on working days (some warehouses in East/South China have extended it to 5:30 pm) Logistics delivery scope Delivery time: The 1688 platform defaults to shipping within 24 hours. Any delay must be reported proactively, otherwise the system will automatically cancel it Delivery within 3-5 working days for regular express delivery coverage areas (such as Shentong/Yunda) It takes 4-6 working days in remote areas such as Xinjiang/Xizang, and the freight is calculated from 20 yuan/kg 2、 Cross border wholesale orders FBA mode: Shipping within 24-48 hours after receiving from Amazon warehouse, delivery within 2-5 working days within the United States FBM self shipping: Economy logistics takes 15-30 days, international express delivery takes 3-7 days to arrive 3、 Special Service Description Customized products (such as OEM aromatherapy machines) require an additional 7-15 days of production cycle Note: The delivery time may be extended during holidays and promotional periods.
