When Would You Want Select Express To Shipping From China To USA

什么情况下考虑从中国到美国使用国际快递这个方式？

Express shipments from China should only be considered when speed is a primary factor. Because the services are much more expensive than other forms of shipments, shippers should look to express as a last resort when shipping medium to high volume. For small shipments, less than 150 kilograms, samples, and documents, express is a worthy consideration.

只有当速度是主要因素时，才应考虑走快递的渠道，由于服务比其他形式的运输贵得多，因此托运人在运输中到大批量时应将快递作为最后的选择。对于小于 150 公斤的小件货物、样品和文件，快递是值得考虑的。

While we like to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the various express courier services, for most shipments, any of the big three can offer a reliable service for your cargo. To assist in the decision making, we suggest avoiding the consideration of which company to use, as most freight forwarding companies will suggest the service they believe is the most ideal for your shipment. Once they offer their suggestion, the brand decision ultimately comes down to which offers the lowest rate.

虽然我们喜欢讨论各种快递服务的优缺点，但对于大多数货物而言，三大快递中的任何一家都可以为您的货物提供可靠的服务。为了帮助做出决策，我们建议避免考虑使用哪家公司，因为大多数货运代理公司会建议他们认为最适合您的货件的服务。一旦他们提出建议，品牌决策最终会归结为提供最低价格的品牌。

When you are unsure if you should be using express or another form of shipping, it is best to compare express service as a whole with other forms of shipping, such as air freight and LCL sea freight shipments. Below, we will discuss when it would be advantageous to use this service, and when it would be preferable to use China sea freight or China air freight.

当您不确定应该使用快递还是其他运输方式时，最好将快递服务作为一个整体与其他运输方式（例如空运和拼箱海运）进行比较。下面，我们将讨论什么时候使用这项服务比较有利，什么时候使用中国海运或中国空运比较好。

Advantages of Express Shipping

快递运输的优势：

Air express is excellent for product samples and documents. If a shipment weighs under 150 kilos such as;

  • Small trial orders;
  • High-value electronics;
  • Drip shipments to Amazon FBA to ensure listings don’t go out of stock;
  • Small quantity, lightweight products;

Air express can be considered as one of the shipping options.

航空快递非常适合产品样品和文件。如果货物重量低于 150 公斤，例如；

小试订单；

高价值电子产品；

发货至亚马逊FBA，确保listing不会缺货；

数量少、重量轻的产品；

航空快递可以被视为运输选项之一。

Disadvantages of Express Shipping

快递运输的缺点：

The disadvantages of air express are often greater than the advantages when urgency is not the priority.

当紧迫性不是优先考虑时，航空快递的缺点往往大于优点。

Express is not intended to move large volume cargo. Instead, it offers a streamlined service for small-sized shipments that otherwise would not be worthy of shipping via sea or air cargo. Express shipping companies focus on shipping a lot of small products, for a lot of different customers. In order for them to stay true to this service offering, they make it inconvenient and expensive for large volume shipments.

快递不用于移动大体积货物。相反，它为小件货物提供简化的服务，否则不值得通过海运或空运。快递运输公司专注于为很多不同的客户运输很多小产品。为了让他们坚持提供这种服务，他们使大批量运输变得不便且成本高昂。

Anytime large volume shipments need to be shipped via express, considerations need to be made. Some express shipping methods don’t allow for palletized cargo or have a weight limit.

任何时候需要通过快递运送大量货物时，都需要进行考虑。一些快递运输方式不允许托盘货物或有重量限制。

For example, DHL only allows for a maximum weight of 30 kilograms for their DHL Express 10:30 service. As a general rule, we often consider shipments greater than 150 kilograms to be too heavy to express.

例如，DHL 的 DHL Express 10:30 服务只允许最大重量为 30 公斤。作为一般规则，我们通常认为超过 150 公斤的货件太重而无法快递。

Likewise, dangerous goods almost always need special compliance and safety documentation. However, when potentially dangerous cargo is shipped via air express, the compliance standards are more strict. One reason for this is that sometimes shipments are loaded into the cargo holds of commercial passenger planes. Commercial airline regulation restricts a lot of cargo that could be hazardous from being transported inside passenger airplanes.

同样，危险品几乎总是需要特殊的合规性和安全文件。但是，当通过航空快递运输具有潜在危险的货物时，合规标准更为严格。原因之一是有时货物会装载到商用客机的货舱中。商业航空公司的规定限制了许多可能有危险的货物不能在客机内运输。

Some examples of restricted cargo are;

受限货物的一些例子是：

  • Any kind of explosives, such as fireworks, gunpowder, and detonating fuses
  • Any kind of gas, such as gasoline, lighter fluid, fire extinguishers, and any type of aerosol can
  • Pesticides and other toxic chemicals
  • Lithium-ion batteries – depending on the carrier
  • Any other products which could be considered a safety threat

任何种类的炸药，例如烟花、火药和引信

任何种类的气体，例如汽油、打火机油、灭火器和任何类型的气雾罐

杀虫剂和其他有毒化学品

锂离子电池——取决于运营商

任何其他可能被视为安全威胁的产品。
