Shipping Methods from Australia to China

Our versatile delivery options accommodate different item sizes, values, and urgencies when sending to China:

Air Freight (Express & Standard)

Air freight is ideal for urgent or high-priority shipments. Whether you require China express post or secure delivery of commercial materials, our air solutions offer rapid, dependable service.

• International Express to China: Fast and secure delivery for parcels, documents, and valuables. Major Chinese cities are accessible within 2–7 business days.
• Standard Air Freight: A smart choice for bulkier shipments that still require timely delivery. Arrives typically within 5–12 business days.

Sea Freight

For larger or non-urgent shipments, sea freight is your most economical option.

• LCL (Less than Container Load): Consolidated container space for smaller shipments.
• FCL (Full Container Load): Dedicated container space for large-scale or high-volume items.

Transit times vary from 6–10 weeks depending on origin, route, and destination port. LCL shipments may take longer due to the additional time required for container consolidation and deconsolidation.
