Precautions for international express delivery:

1. The weight of international express packages is divided into actual weight and volumetric weight, and the courier company will charge based on the larger of the two weights;

2. Volume weight calculation

(1) The calculation method for the volume and weight of four international express packages, DHL, UPS, TNT, and FedEX, is (length x width x height) (cm) ÷ 5000. Please note that the unit of length, width, and height is in centimeters;

(2) EMS postal express calculates the volume weight and weight of packages with any one side reaching 60cm or more in length, width, and height. The formula for calculating the volume weight and weight is: Volume weight (kg)=length * width * height (cm) ÷ 8000;

3. International express packages with less than 0.5 kilograms of goods will be charged at 0.5 kilograms;

4. Goods below 21Kg (46.3Ib) shall be charged as small cargo, with the first and second weights being charged. The billing unit is 0.5Kg (1.1Ib), and goods above 21Kg shall be charged as large cargo;

5. The specifications of individual goods in international express packages must ensure that: 1 length+2 height+2 width<330CM (the specifications required by each express company may vary);

6. International express packages exceeding or equal to 68 kilograms per package must be packaged with foot pallets (some countries reject the original pallet packaging), otherwise the express company will reject the goods;

7. If there are international express packages with the following situations, advance booking is required: the length of a single piece of goods exceeds 330 centimeters (10 feet 25.2 inches); The weight of a single piece of goods exceeds 68 kilograms; The single piece of goods does not exceed 330 centimeters and the weight does not exceed 68 kilograms (149.9 Ib), but a single shipment exceeds 300 kilograms (661.4 Ib).

8. There are significant changes in international express delivery prices and fees. When sending express packages, please first contact the salesperson of the international express delivery company you are shipping to confirm the price.

What kind of express is used for mailing overseas?

There are actually many options for sending international express to foreign countries, but currently the commonly used ones are the four major international express routes. Rocket Logistics has its own logistics dedicated line and is a first-class agent for the four major international express routes, with affordable prices and door-to-door pickup options.

The advantages and disadvantages of the four major international express delivery and rocket dedicated lines:

DHL International Express:

It is shipped under a legitimate product name; There are many national branches that can be delivered, and the status updates of goods on the website are also relatively timely.

Disadvantages: Small freight costs are expensive and not cost-effective. If the volume weight is greater than the actual weight, the cost will be calculated based on the volume weight. There are strict restrictions on checked items, and many special products will be rejected.

UPS International Express:

Advantages: Fast speed, usually delivered within 2-4 working days, faster time to fly to the United States, almost 48 hours to arrive, and loose shipping restrictions.

European small goods, European and American large goods, and the off-season in the United States have a faster response time, fast website information updates, comprehensive network coverage, and convenient and fast queries.

Disadvantages: Slow speed, delayed website information retrieval, limited access to countries, and once problems arise, only written inquiries can be made, which takes a long time. It is necessary to consider the volume and weight of the product, as well as strict restrictions on checked items.

TNT International Express:

Advantages: Under normal circumstances, the reference time can be 3-5 working days for delivery, with fast delivery time, strong customs clearance ability, convenient query, and timely problem-solving. In Western European countries, customs clearance capabilities are among the top four international express delivery capabilities, and efficient delivery networks can be provided in Europe and Asia.

Disadvantage: The price is higher than other international courier companies. If the value of the goods is high, the goods are valuable, require timeliness and strong customs clearance ability, TNT can choose.

Rocket logistics dedicated line:

Advantages: Under normal circumstances, the reference time can be 5-6 working days for delivery, with fast delivery time. There is a dedicated customs clearance team, including pure batteries, internal electrical products, and regular freight lines.
