How-to & Troubleshooting

The latest express company's statute of limitations and price comparison guide in January 2026


1. Among many international express services, EMS, as an international express service under the postal system, has unique advantages. It is especially suitable for sending food, cosmetics, medicines and other sensitive items. EMS is a reliable choice for users who need to send such sensitive items. Its standard statute of limitations is relatively stable, generally stable in about 7-12 days. That is to say, from the time the goods are sent, the recipient will be able to receive the sent goods within about 7 to 12 days. In terms of price, the reference price range of a single item (weight less than or equal to 2kg) is 200-300 yuan. This price range is more reasonable for individual users, considering the safety of goods and the time limit for transportation. The core advantages of this channel are very prominent. First of all, it has a low inspection rate in the postal customs clearance mode, which is about 5%-8%. This means that the goods are relatively less likely to be checked during the customs clearance process and can pass through the customs more smoothly. Secondly, it also supports the flexible service of return and resend. If there are some special circumstances, such as items that need to be returned and resent, users can use this service without worrying about too much trouble. This flexible service model is especially suitable for individual users to send their own goods, which meets the diversified needs of individual users in the process of sending goods.

2. As a typical representative of commercial express delivery, DHL/UPS has its own distinctive characteristics and applicable scenarios. They are more suitable for transporting general goods, high-value items (such as electronic products, luxury goods) and emergency items. DHL/UPS is a good choice for users who need to quickly transport high-value items or urgent documents. Its international time limit can be well guaranteed and can be compressed to 3-5 days. This means that in the international transportation stage, goods can reach the destination in just 3 to 5 days, which greatly shortens the transportation time. In terms of price, the price of a single piece is usually 350-500 yuan. Although the price is relatively high, it is acceptable for users with high requirements for time limit, considering its fast transportation time limit and guarantee ability for high value items. Such channels also provide professional commercial customs clearance agency services. When goods encounter complex declaration processes during customs clearance, they can assist users in handling them. The professional service team and rich experience make the customs clearance process smoother and reduce the delay caused by the complicated declaration process. Therefore, DHL/UPS has become the first choice for users with high time limit requirements.

3. The sensitive goods special line is a subdivision channel specially developed for the special needs of cross-border logistics. It has a clear service scope and characteristics. The channel mainly covers cosmetics, charged products, liquid items, etc. For users who have cross-border transportation needs of such special items, the sensitive goods special line provides special solutions. In terms of statute of limitations, it is usually 8-15 days. Although the transportation time is slightly longer than that of commercial express delivery, it is also reasonable considering the special nature of the transported items. In terms of price, the price will fluctuate between 250 and 400 yuan depending on the nature and weight of the item. Items of different properties and weights will have different prices according to the corresponding pricing rules. The biggest feature of this channel is that it supports double-clearance tax service. This means that users do not need to provide additional special documents when sending goods through this channel, and the whole customs clearance and tax payment process is handled by the channel. This service model greatly simplifies the operation process of individual users, so that individual users can be more worry-free when sending special items.

4. The shipping line is a cost-effective choice for large or heavy goods (the weight of a single box is more than 20kg). For those users who need to transport large or heavy items, the shipping line provides an economical solution. Although its statute of limitations is relatively long, it usually takes 30-45 days. This is because the transportation mode of sea transportation is relatively slow, but for non-emergency items, such as furniture, building materials and other large items, a long transportation time is acceptable. In terms of price, the unit price is only 40-80 yuan/kg, which is much lower than the express channel. This low price advantage makes the shipping line the first choice for transporting large items. Moreover, this service usually includes double clearance to the door. From the customs clearance of the goods to the final delivery to the door of the recipient, there is a service guarantee throughout the whole process. This provides great convenience for users who send non-emergency furniture, building materials and other large items.
