1、 Advantages and Disadvantages of Meisen Express

1. Advantages

Meisen Express integrates the advantages of the entire freight process, delivery process, and exclusive terminal, with its two most significant features being fast delivery and timeliness.

Fast delivery time: It only takes about 12 working days for direct shipping from Shanghai to the United States, making it the fastest channel at present.

Exclusive Terminal: In addition to fast delivery time, Meisen Express has its own exclusive terminal in Los Angeles, while other shipping companies use public terminals. Therefore, Meisen Express has higher container loading efficiency, and this advantage is most significant during peak shipping seasons, which is not easy to arrange warehouses and has good stability.

2. Disadvantages

Price expensive: Because Meisen Express is the fastest channel, its price is also the highest.

Can only be shipped in Shanghai: After receiving goods in other cities in China, they also need to be sent to Shanghai for shipment, which is not very friendly to other regions outside of Shanghai and will increase domestic transportation costs.

3. Suitable for taking the Meisen Express

Overall, Meisen Express is still a good shipping channel for the United States, but its ability to only ship at Shanghai ports determines that this type of shipping channel is only suitable for export enterprises in Shanghai and surrounding cities. How to become an export enterprise in Shenzhen? It takes time and money to transport goods to Shanghai, which increases transportation time and costs. Choosing other sea freight options may be more cost-effective.

2、 Advantages and Disadvantages of Star Express

1. Advantages

The emergence of the Star Express has bid farewell to the history of no express ships in South China. Customers in South China no longer need to tow to Meisen when traveling to East China. Compared to Meisen Express, the main advantages of the Star Express are in terms of region and price. It can be loaded at Yantian Port in Shenzhen, which is very friendly to cross-border e-commerce sellers and export enterprises in Shenzhen. It can quickly load goods at a lower price, and is generally 1-2 yuan/kg lower than Meisen Express.

2. Disadvantages

Overall, the delivery time is about two days slower than that of Meisen, and in terms of terminal container delivery efficiency, Star Express is not as efficient as Meisen Express. It takes about 14 working days to ship directly to the United States. After arriving at the port, public ports will be used, and once there are many shipping companies, they may face situations such as port congestion and time delay.

3. Suitable Scenarios

If Meisen Express is suitable for export enterprises in cities around Shanghai, then Star Express is suitable for export enterprises in Shenzhen and its surrounding cities, with faster loading and lower transportation costs. Of course, if you want to reduce the probability of cargo inventory during the peak shipping season, Meisen is a better choice

3、 Advantages and Disadvantages of Yantian Express

1. Advantages

The advantage of Yantian Express is clearly in terms of price, which is the lowest among the three types of express shipping channels. If you want to save on logistics costs, you can choose this channel to ship to the United States.

2. Disadvantages

Compared to the other two express ships, the delivery time is the slowest, and it takes about 16 working days to ship directly from Yantian in Shenzhen to the United States. It is also a public port used, and it is easy to encounter congestion during peak seasons, which can lead to delays.

3. Suitable Scenarios

Generally speaking, it is more suitable to use it during the off-season of logistics, which can save more logistics costs.
