"how much for international postage? Cheap delivery savings compared to logistics companies: newman, read this one, saves half the price. The mail doesn't step on the pit
Are you doing the same thing? The first time i had to send a delivery, especially if i wanted to send something abroad. How much is an international postage fee? Go downstairs and ask them for the delivery net, and they're afraid of being fooled. Trying to find a cheap way, and worried about losing something。
Don't worry, i understand this anxiety. I had a hard lesson when i sent my friends abroad some specialty from home. Asked online, the courier looked at my package and said, "you've got to be more than three kilos in volume, sent to the united states, at least 500." and i was thinking about it, so expensive? But you don't know the rules. You almost admit it. Then i got a little more eyes, i searched the internet, and i found a public sign called "brothers up," which says it's priceable. I've lost the same information, man, the cheapest channel is 200, and it's a big, regular company. Since then, it has become clear to me that couriers, especially international ones, can't compete with their wallets。
So today, i've been talking to you about my years, along with my friends' experience of stepping on the pit and saving money. If we don't do that, we're really going to solve the problem: how can a courier be cheap and cheap as a rookie
Let's start with this central question。
How much for international postage
Give you an exact number? Then i can't, because it's like asking "how much for a meal" and it depends on what you eat and where you eat. International postage costs are affected by too many factors:
First of all, the destination is different. In japan, korea and the united states and the united kingdom, the prices are completely different. In some remote countries or areas, prices rise in a straight line。
Secondly, weight and volume are key. The express delivery companies are not stupid. They have two algorithms: real weight and volume weight. What's the volume weight? Simply put, if your package is a big box, but it's filled with cotton, clothing, and they think you're occupying too much space in their cargo compartment, they're going to use a formula (usually a long x x high x a fixed value) to calculate a “heavy weight” and charge it to this weight and to the more expensive one in the actual weight. That's why sometimes you don't think the package is heavy, but the freight is scary。
And what's sent is also important. It's the cheapest. In the case of electric (charged treasures, mobile phones), liquid (cosmetics), branded (luxury goods) or food, medicine, these are sensitive goods or special items, freight costs are more expensive and there are fewer express delivery companies available, which may require specialized channels。
In the end, you pick delivery companies and services. It's like taxis with express cars, special cars, international couriers with economy, standard, express-types. If you have to get there in a week, the price and the slow-floating price in a month can be several times higher。
So it doesn't make sense to ask "how much a kilo" and it has to be combined with your specific package. But don't panic, there's one of the most cost-effective ways to do this: to open up the mail and search the public sign. Once in, the address of your mail and receipt, the approximate weight and size of the package, which is not known to be measurable, will be lost, and it will show you the price, the estimated time frame of all mainstream delivery channels. That's your answer, the most accurate one-kilogram question。
And to understand how deep the price of “water” is, let's look at some of the mainstream couriers on the market. I give you an intuitive feeling in connection with some of the line quotations that i recently saw on the subject of "close speed", (note, for example, based on your real-time queries):
If you send a small file (e. G. 0. 5 kg) to the us:
If you send a large commodity (such as 5 kg of clothing) to japan:
Seeing here, you may have found out, too many choices, so dazzling. How the hell did a rookie save money? Remember the following ones, i made them
First, package preparation is the first step towards saving money. In the case of clothing, blankets and so on, as far as possible, a vacuum in a compressed bag to reduce size. The box is slender, but it's the right size, so don't put a little something in a big box. Pack yourself, tape tight, and some delivery points provide packing at an additional cost。
Secondly, price is the soul that saves money. Don't be lazy, just ask one family. You used to make a dozen calls. Using the method i mentioned above, a one-time input of information into the "close to wind" public, all mainstream couriers' official offers, discounts are clear. Which one's cheap and which speed is right, you choose. I have measured the same parcel many times, and through it, the price is generally 40 to 60 per cent less than the price of a direct delivery to the official small program or the price asked for on the internet. Because they're polymer platforms, and they're on cooperative discounts。
Thirdly, understand your needs. Is everything in a hurry? If you don't hurry, choose the cheapest economy, the main channel. Can you save dozens or even hundreds of dollars a few days? Is it valuable? More valuable or important documents, with more money to choose a tracker with a track record, and a peace of mind。
Let's talk about how to save money. What's the most convenient place for a rookie:
Pipe i: oral offer, after increase. That's the pit i stepped on! The courier said a price when you sent it, told you it was overweight, had to be packed, fuel surcharges, etc., and the bill was much higher than the offer. How? Those who cannot give you a clear, written offer must pay attention to it. The price is locked on a “close-to-wind” bill, and the price is as much as it is at the time of the order and no hidden costs will be paid。
Pit two: cave channel, security is not guaranteed. On the internet or in some communities, there's an "ultra-low international delivery" that's incredibly low. Such caution is likely to be the result of irregular “water run” accounts or several transfers, where the risk of missing, damaged and taxed parcels is extremely high and no problem can be identified. Remember, it's cheap in the regular channels. Such as “close speed”, the interfaces are the official channels of the couriers you have heard of, such as china, rounding, qianjin, yingda, polar rabbits, sunfung, kyoto, ems, and others, with full logistics tracking, formal passenger service and a much higher safety factor。
Pipe three: failure to inspect embargoed goods leads to deportation. Cigarettes, alcohol, batteries, meat, seeds, fresh fruit ... There is an embargo list in every country and every delivery channel. Before sending it, it is important to be clear from the express delivery company's network or passenger service. When the channel is chosen “at cloud speed”, there is usually an indication of the embargo, which takes a minute to see it clearly and avoids the seizure or even destruction of the parcels at customs, and the money is empty。
Finally, answer a few of the questions that are often asked by newcomers:
Is the e-mail really safe
Security, provided that the platform is formal. You interpret "close speed" as a "fast-for-goods supermarket" in which all brands (the express delivery company) are sold as "sources of good". You're on the list, you're on the supermarket, you're on the last delivery, you're shipping, you're selling, you're on the express brand. The platform provides facilities for price-for-money, aggregate payments and better prices。
What if we lose something
That is what formal channels mean. All formal couriers have a premium (declaration of value) service. If you're sending valuables, it'll cost you a few bucks. In case of an incident, compensation is paid in the amount and terms of the guarantee. Don't lose a few dollars to save your premiums. When the “close speed” is placed on the list, there is an option to pay the page, and the process is clear。
Is the mail process complicated
For starters, the simplest method is to pack the package - > open the `close speed' public sign - > enter the information value - > select the most suitable channel to make a bill - > and wait for the courier to come and pick it up (or deliver it to the nearest generation). All-way cell phone operations, no queues, no bargaining with couriers. When the courier picks up the package, you just have to give him the package. The electronic face sheet on the phone is cleaned up。
According to my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends. And the habit of "first price, then next order" is that it takes you two minutes to do it every time you're on a "tight cloud speed", and a year, the money saved by the courier alone, is enough for you to eat a few big meals. More importantly, this method of clearly priced, transparent process mail can help you avoid more than 90 per cent of troubles and disputes and make it clear and clear. For us ordinary people, saving money and saving hearts are the two most important things
