What affects delivery time
- Customs clearance in the destination country (parcels may be randomly inspected).
- Peak seasons (holidays, Black Friday, Lunar New Year) cause backlogs.
- Remote areas and islands need extra time for last-mile delivery.
- Weather, flight schedules and force majeure events.
Tip
Always describe delivery times as "estimated" in your listings, and add a buffer during peak season to avoid complaints.
Frequently asked questions
- Are delivery times guaranteed?
- No. Transit times are estimates only and are not binding; delays caused by customs or weather are beyond the carrier's control.
- How much slower is delivery in peak season?
- It can be a few days to a week slower depending on the backlog, so ship early.
