SOCKS SHIPPING TYPE

EXPRESS (FOR EXAMPLE LIKE DHL, UPS, FEDEX ETC. IN THE ACTUAL BUSINESS CHOOSE WHICH EXPRESS COMPANY, IT IS DEPENDS ON THE DESTINATION)

  • Delivery time: 3-6 days (most of the countries and areas will deliver the goods around 3-6 days, special locations and timing may need longer delivery time.)
  • Cargo weight: when the weight of your good less than 150kg, express service will be the best delivery option.
  • Type of goods: As you can see from the last chart, 2500 pairs of socks already weighed more than 150kg, we usually only use express service for sending samples.
  • Others: express provide door to door service, do not need any other payment

AIR TRANSPORTATION

  • Delivery time: 4-10 days (most of the countries and areas will deliver the goods around 4-10 days, special locations and timing may need longer delivery time.)
  • Cargo weight: base on our experience, air transportation is suited goods weight 200kg-800kg
  • Others: need to pick up the goods from the local airport, meanwhile must pay for the import fees and other service charges.

TALK ABOUT THE PRICE

How to calculate transportation fees?

  • Express: Per kilogram computation, a kilo is about $5 to send to the United States.
  • Air: as per kilogram computation, a kilo is about $2.5 to send to the United States
  • Shipping: per cubic meters (CBM), a cubic meter of about $180 to $220 to the United States.
