It is mainly manifested in two aspects,

First, in terms of timeliness, the timeliness of international express is slower than commercial express, but faster than postal and EMS.

Second, in terms of freight, the price of international express is cheaper than commercial express and is not much different from the price of postal parcels.

In general, international express lines are relatively balanced in terms of timeliness and freight.

4. Disadvantages of international express lines:

1. Logistics information is not detailed and accurate

There are relatively few outlets for international express lines, so the tracking information is not detailed, and the shipper cannot obtain logistics information in time.

2. Low compensation and greater risk of sending parcels

Compared with commercial express and postal services, international express lines have no standard compensation regulations. There is no standard for measuring lost items, the compensation is relatively low, and the risk of consignors sending parcels is relatively high.

3. Unfixed flights

International express lines ship by concentrating cargo volume. To save transportation costs, many logistics carriers do not have fixed flights. Generally, the flight is arranged for delivery after the received cargo volume reaches the estimated value, which may affect the delivery time.
