EXPRESS COURIER

Is express courier right for you?

Courier can make a small overseas shipment easier to follow, with parcel tracking and delivery through one carrier network. We check options such as DHL, FedEx, UPS and EMS against your parcel contents and destination.

See courier to New Zealand or courier to Australia for those destinations. Larger urgent goods may suit air freight; small non-urgent cartons may suit Sea Parcel where available.

Check your parcel contents

Samples, documents and spare parts still need accurate descriptions and carrier acceptance.

Shipping costs

Size, weight, minimum charges and the delivery address all affect the total courier price.

Shipping time

Pickup, security checks, the courier route, customs and local delivery all affect timing.

Delivery options

Send the full address, postcode and receiver’s contact details. Ask whether a PO Box can be used.

Send the complete address before booking. Remote areas, islands and PO Boxes may have different delivery options. Tell us about batteries, liquids or other restricted contents so we can check the carrier’s rules.

The receiver may need to provide customs documents or an importer number and pay local import charges. See our international shipping requirements for what to prepare. If courier is unsuitable, we can separately check air freight.

FROM SUPPLIER TO DELIVERY

How express courier works

01

Check the parcels

List each piece’s dimensions, weight, contents and destination address.
02

Choose the courier service

Check that the courier accepts the goods, then agree on pickup or delivery to a courier location in China.
03

Move and track

The selected courier carries your parcel along its international route.
04

Clear customs and deliver

Provide any information requested by customs or the courier so delivery can continue.

Before sending the parcel, confirm the collection or drop-off point in China and the booking reference. Provide an accurate description and value of the contents, including any batteries or liquids.

The receiver should be available to answer customs or delivery questions. The documents and importer details needed depend on the goods and destination country.

Shipping time
and costs

Ask for an estimated delivery time for your chosen service and postcode. Collection times, security checks, flights, customs and the delivery location can affect the date.

Check the total courier price, including any remote-area or service charges. Ask who pays duties, taxes and any fee for the courier paying import charges on your behalf. These are included only when your quote says so.

Before your goods arrive

Describe your parcel

Describe the contents accurately and send each parcel’s packed size, weight and value.

Customs after arrival

Give the receiver’s contact details and any paperwork needed for customs at the destination.

Check the delivery address

Check that the courier can deliver to the address and what happens if delivery or customs clearance is delayed.
FROM SUPPLIER TO YOUR ADDRESS

Courier delivery to your overseas address

Send the complete address and receiver’s contact details so we can check the courier network. Remote locations, islands, PO Boxes and restricted addresses need to be checked individually.

Tracking lets you follow the parcel, but customs may still need information from the receiver. For larger goods collected at an airport or depot, compare air freight.

International Express Courier FAQs

No. The carrier, service, goods and delivery postcode must be checked. We will confirm the carrier for your parcel before booking.

Calling an item a sample or gift does not remove customs requirements. Describe the contents and value accurately, and check which documents the destination needs.

Only if your quote says they are included. Check who pays duties, taxes, local charges and any fee for the courier paying import charges on your behalf.

Commercial air freight or another method may be assessed separately. Rejection by one service does not prove another will accept the goods.

Ask where the journey starts and ends, and whether the estimate includes customs checks and local delivery. The dates depend on your route and the services included in your quote.

Start with your name, email, destination country and city, and what you are shipping. If known, add the packed size and weight, supplier’s location, date the goods will be ready and the receiver’s details.

A US$15 administration fee applies under 50kg if you are not sourcing through Prestige Sourcing, across all methods. Send your goods details so we can check the available service.

Use the international customs and shipping guide for documents and checks to prepare before shipping. Check the destination country’s official import guidance and agree who handles customs before sending the goods.
