Understanding Key Comparison Factors
Delivery Time
Calculated from warehouse dispatch to final delivery. Express routes use direct flights, while standard options may involve consolidation and ground transport. Delays can occur during peak seasons.
Cost Efficiency
Balances shipping fees against speed and reliability. Sea freight is most cost-effective for heavy loads, while air routes offer value for time-sensitive, lighter parcels.
Customs Performance
Measures the route's history of smooth customs clearance. ACBuy's "Pre-cleared" options handle documentation upfront, significantly reducing the risk of border delays and unexpected fees for the recipient.
