Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from China to Australia take?
Published air services are generally around 7-10 business days after departure, while sea services are commonly around 25-30 days. Customs inspections, quarantine and remote delivery can extend these estimates.
Why is the Australian postcode required for a quote?
The postcode determines the delivery city, truck zone, remote-area classification, service availability and possible surcharges.
How is chargeable weight calculated?
For most kilogram services, the higher of actual weight and volumetric weight is used. CBM services use the higher of physical volume and the service’s weight-to-volume equivalent.
