Shipping Timeline
To help you plan your inventory effectively, we outline the estimated shipping timelines for different logistics methods from our factory to the United States. Please note that these are estimated times and can be affected by customs clearance, weather, and seasonal demand.
1. Express Shipping (e.g., DHL, FedEx)
Delivery Terms: Typically DAP (Door-to-Door)
Estimated Timeline: 5-10 Business Days
Description: This is the fastest option. Ideal for samples and urgent, small-quantity orders. The courier handles customs clearance and delivers directly to your door.
2. Air Freight
Delivery Terms:
DDP (Door-to-Door, Duties Paid): We handle the entire process, including customs clearance and final delivery to your warehouse.
DAP (Airport-to-Airport): We deliver the goods to the destination airport. You are responsible for customs clearance and local transportation.
Estimated Timeline: 8-15 Business Days (from dispatch to arrival at destination airport/door for DDP).
Description: A balance of speed and cost for medium-sized orders. DDP offers a hands-off experience, while DAP may be more cost-effective if you have a customs broker.
3. Sea Freight
Delivery Terms:
DDP (Door-to-Door, Duties Paid): We manage the full logistics chain, including ocean transport, customs clearance, and trucking to your address.
DAP (Port-to-Port): We deliver the goods to the destination seaport. You are responsible for all import formalities and inland freight.
Estimated Timeline: 25-40 Business Days (from port of departure to arrival at destination port/door for DDP, this timeline is for USA, some country need longer).
Description: The most cost-effective choice for large volume and bulk orders. It requires longer lead times but offers the lowest per-unit shipping cost.
Important Notes:
Production Time: The timelines above do not include our standard production time. Please add the production lead time (e.g., 15-60 days) to the shipping estimate for your total timeline.
Customs Delays: While we assist with documentation, unforeseen customs inspections can cause delays, especially under DAP terms.
Final Quote: The exact shipping cost and timeline for your order will be confirmed in your final quotation.
