Shipping Options and Delivery Time Guide
There are two ways to delivery products from China to your door, sea and air.
Air Shipping
By air is fastest but expensive for small orders. Usually less than 50kg, air shipping is more simpler and faster shipping option. Transporting goods to your door usually takes about 1 week, which is faster than by sea shipping.
Sea Shipping:
By sea is a long time but cheap for large bulk orders, more than 100kg, often recommended by sea shipping.
For shipping books by sea from Shenzhen, please allow the following amount of time for sailing, customs clearance, and inland trucking to your warehouse.
To Asia destinations: 1 to 2 weeks
To South America destinations: 5 to 7 weeks
To US/Canada destinations: 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the west (LA, Vancouver) or east coast (NYC, Toronto)
To Australian destinations: 2 to 3 weeks
To African countries: 4 to 8 weeks
To UK and European destinations: 4 to 6 weeks
If your books are urgent, you can choose a small order shipped by air & express, such as DHL, Fedex, or UPS. It takes about 5-7 working days to reach your door. Most orders are shipped via the more cost-effective and slower sea freight method. The shipping cost will depend on the weight of your package and the shipping method you choose. The cost you can consult with our sales, and we will reply with you correct price as per your order promptly.
What If My Package Arrives Damaged?
We take strong steps to protect your products during shipping. First, we pack everything in waterproof bags, then place them in sturdy cartons. The cartons are loaded onto pallets and wrapped tightly with plastic film and heavy-duty tape. This keeps your products safe from movement and moisture, so damage is very rare.
In case your package is ever lost or damaged, also don’t worry—you’re fully protected. When you receive your order, please check it right away. If you notice any damage, take photos or videos and note the quantity affected. Then contact your sales representative, and we’ll help you arrange compensation.
