The difference between international express and ocean shipping

There is a certain gap between international express and ocean shipping in terms of price, time, and shipping method. You can choose the express method that suits you best according to your needs.

1.The difference in price between international express and ocean shipping

The biggest feature of international express delivery is fast and easy. Generally, you only need to fill in a simple list, but the cost is high, and it is suitable for the transportation of items up to 10 kg. If there are many things, the cost will be an astronomical figure.

Ocean shipping is much cheaper than international express delivery. If you need to mail a lot of luggage and parcels, ocean shipping is economical.

2.The difference in time between international express and ocean shipping

International express is fast, DHL, UPS, and TNT all take about 4 days, while ocean shipping takes a relatively long time, usually about 6 weeks. If you have a lot of items, ocean shipping is the most cost-effective option, but you need to plan it. Arrange it in January-February in advance, because the period of ocean shipping of luggage items is longer, if there is no plan, customers will be passive. The advantage is that the price is low, and it is door-to-door, the convenience can be better than the express, and the service is better. Therefore, when going abroad or returning home, you need to plan ahead for your luggage and items to avoid paying high transportation costs.
