It is the beginning of another school year. Compared to the students who are happily preparing to go abroad, parents are more worried. They are worried that their children will not be able to eat enough, wear warm clothes, or adapt to life alone abroad. They are also worried that they cannot sleep well because they cannot take care of their children due to the long distance.

Therefore, giving many instructions and packing for their children have become the only things they can do. The suitcase is filled with the "heavy love" of parents, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. They wish they could put the whole family in the suitcase.

However, there is only so much free checked baggage on the plane. Not only is the extra charge expensive, but the child has to drag several large suitcases and get them to the dormitory by himself after getting off the plane. This scene is tiring just thinking about it.

At this time, the role of international express delivery is reflected! Express delivery to your door, no need to worry about not being able to carry it; if something is missed, you can send it again at any time... It's so convenient!

However, compared with domestic express delivery, international express delivery is a little more troublesome and a little "difficult" for some parents. After all, many young people who are good at using the Internet are also confused.

So, I, as considerate as I am, have compiled an international express delivery guide for all the parents who love their children, and will teach you how to send international express delivery step by step! Let's take a look~

1. What do you want to mail?

International express delivery generally classifies items into three categories.

1. General cargo: As the name suggests, ordinary cargo, which is not electrically or magnetically charged, is not liquid or powder, and is not an international brand item. Any international express delivery company can mail this type of cargo.

2. Sensitive goods: goods that may bring risks and are subject to strict customs supervision. Such as: food, meat products, medicines and masks, cosmetics, branded clothing, shoes and bags, liquid pastes and powders, electronic products, products with electricity and magnetism, gold and silver valuables, etc. These items can be mailed, but only through dedicated channels.

3. Prohibited items: Items that are expressly prohibited from being transported in my country and internationally. Needless to say, they cannot be mailed!!!

2. How to choose a courier company

The more commonly used international express delivery companies include DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT, EMS International, etc.

1. DHL/UPS/FedEx/TNT: well-known foreign express delivery companies with wide delivery range, good service and fast delivery time, but the price is relatively expensive (inadvertently more expensive than the goods themselves), and they do not accept sensitive goods.

2. EMS International: Affordable price, some countries can mail sensitive goods, but! As we all know, EMS's delivery time is not stable.

3. International express forwarding company: For example, Global Express, as a first-class agent of FedEx, DHL, UPS, and EMS international express, not only has affordable price (official 30% to 50% off), stable delivery time, but also has a sensitive line, which can mail various sensitive goods!

So how do you choose from so many mailing channels? Analyze the specific situation.

1. If you don’t care about the price and require fast delivery, look for DHL/UPS/FedEx/TNT international express official delivery;

2. If you don’t care about the delivery time and want a cheap price, look for EMS international delivery;

3. If you need to mail sensitive goods and have requirements for both price and delivery time, look for FREE SEA Logistics! FREE SEA Logistics can meet any of your requirements~

3.
