Options to get stuff shipped from China...Lets discuss

[chungus]

hello, I was going to make my first purchase from sunsky..
which option is better for shipping from sunsky? the cheapest options shown are "epacket" and "yanwen express", with the former being a bit cheaper

and.. the website is "sunsky-online.com" right? just confirming because its being referred to as just 'sunsky' here

Lot of people here are saying that shipping via yanwen doesn't attract customs but it's upto you

No one can tell, but the maximum customs cost can be half the total cost of your product, but the twist is, depending upon the custom officer, if he think that the actual value of item is more than what you have paid or listed, he will use his own imaginary value that he sees fit and then the maximum customs can be half of that.

This is the worst case scenario.

Yeah 1450 per kg and min weight is 1kg so even if you order something like 400g you have to pay for 1kg price

not really, its fixed price, if you 40k item is under 1kg of weight, its still only 1600, sounds more than fair to me

That's fair too but I wouldn't order something so expensive from such a small company. If there's any issues I'll be stuck with no where to go. Sites like Ebay have buyer protection.

meh, delivo is just a freight forwarder, you can order from anywhere, amazon us for e.g.

To be fair they haven't lost anyones parcel so far. Usually I just order directly from taobao or via a seller's whatsapp with alipay and for the most part, chinese couriers never mess up a delivery as long as the address is correct. Once the parcel is delivered at their warehouse, liability falls on them.

Same goes for their other warehouses too. Albeit I haven't had much of anything to order from the US as it seems half of the items being sold there are dropshipped items from china
