How to Choose a Shipping Line
Once your items are at the warehouse, you choose how they travel. Express lines are fastest but cost more; economy lines are cheaper but slower. The right choice depends on how urgently you need the parcel and what is inside it.
What affects the price
- Total weight and parcel dimensions (volumetric weight can matter for bulky items).
- Destination country and the lines available to it.
- Item type — some goods have shipping restrictions.
Shipping prices change month to month, and no carrier is always the cheapest. Compare the quoted options at the time you ship rather than relying on a fixed rule.
FAQ
What is consolidation?
Combining several items into one parcel so they share a single shipping fee — usually the biggest saving in agent shopping.
