Shipping FAQs

What is the difference between Priority and Economy shipping?

Priority routes are better for faster delivery, launches, or higher-value orders, while Economy routes are more suitable when margin and standard timing matter more.

How does 5–8 day delivery to Australia work?

It usually depends on structured China-to-Australia lanes, product type, and whether the route is optimized for ecommerce parcel fulfilment.

Is China direct shipping always better than AU reshipping?

Not always, but for many brands it reduces extra freight layers, improves flexibility, and creates a cleaner cost structure.

What affects international shipping costs most?

Parcel size, weight, product type, destination, route type, and customs-related requirements all affect shipping cost.

When should brands move to local warehousing in overseas markets?

That usually becomes more relevant once demand is stable enough in one market to justify local inventory and faster local delivery.
