Aggregation of cross-border logistics information
What international express is cheaper for cross-border e-commerce shipments to Europe?
The cheapest logistics channel for sending heavy goods to Europe is sea freight, followed by railway, and there are also options such as card air transportation. Although these logistics methods are relatively cheap, their delivery time is very slow, and it usually takes 20-30 days to complete the delivery.
If you want fast delivery and relatively cheap prices, then you can find the China Europe Railway Taxable Special Line and the European Haipai Special Line.
The China Europe Railway Taxable Special Line can connect to domestic electrical products and general cargo special lines, with stable delivery time, and can be picked up around 28 days after departure
The European Haipai special line can connect to internal electrical products and general cargo special lines, with stable delivery time, and can be signed for around 35 days after departure
If you want to be faster, you can choose the European air delivery line, which includes both regular and domestic electricity lines.
