AliExpress packages can take anywhere from **3 to 60 days to arrive** depending on the shipping method and the shipping carrier that you choose. AliExpress delivery times also depend on the **country of origin.** For example… - **AliExpress orders shipped** from China typically take 5-60 days to arrive - **AliExpress orders shipped** from Europe to another European country typically take 5-7 days to arrive - **AliExpress orders shipped** from a seller in your own country can be as fast as 3 days Shipping times are also subject to delays **due to Chinese holidays**. For example, China is shut down for 2 or 3 weeks in February for Chinese New Year. Bottom line, the length of time it takes for an AliExpress package to arrive **depends on the shipping method** and how much you are willing to pay. Here are the **shipping carriers** that you’ll find on AliExpress along with full descriptions. ## Cainiao Super Economy  Cainiao Super Economy is a shipping method run by the Alibaba group that **provides extremely cheap shipping** for products purchased on AliExpress. Because the delivery cost is often baked into the price of the product, **Cainiao Super Economy shipping is often marked as free** for orders placed on AliExpress. However, Cainiao Super Economy packages typically **take 30-50 days to arrive**. In addition, Cainiao Super Economy and Super Economy Global packages **can not be tracked.** Even though you’ll receive a tracking number with your order, **the package can only be tracked within China**. Overall, Cainiao Super Economy was **created by Alibaba** to compete with its rivals like Yanwen Express and SunYou for the cheapest method to [ship from China](https://mywifequitherjob.com/shipping-from-china/). **Important Stats:** - **Shipping Time** – 30-50 days - **Cost** – 10/10 (10 is best) - **Tracking** – No ## Cainiao Super Economy For Special Goods  Cainiao Super Economy For Special Goods is a special version of Cainiao Super Economy that **includes end to end tracking information.** However, this shipping method only applies to items that have a **value of less than \$5 and weigh less than 2kg.** Cainiao Super Economy For Special Goods is **faster than** regular Super Economy at **20-40 days** and is slightly more expensive. This shipping method is ideal if you want a **cheap shipping option with tracking information.** **Important Stats:** - **Shipping Time** – 20-40 days - **Cost** – 8/10 (10 is best) - **Tracking** – Yes ## Cainiao Expedited Standard  Cainiao Expedited Standard is **Cainiao’s express shipping option** that includes end to end tracking information at an extremely attractive price. Cainiao Expedited Standard shipping is roughly **twice as fast as Cainiao Super Economy at 20-40 days** and includes tracking information. The Cainiao Expedited shipping method is very similar to Cainiao Super Economy For Special Goods **without the restrictions on package size.** **Important Stats:** - **Shipping Time** – 20-40 days - **Cost** – 8/10 (10 is best) - **Tracking** – Yes ## AliExpress Standard Shipping  AliExpress Standard Shipping is an affordable shipping method that offers **delivery times between 15 to 45 days** and is among the cheapest ways to ship from China. Compared to Cainiao Super Economy, AliExpress Standard Shipping is **significantly faster** with full end to end tracking information. For most orders placed on AliExpress, **AliExpress Standard Shipping is a good balance** between cost, trackability and shipping time. **Important Stats:** - **Shipping Time** – 15-45 days - **Cost** – 7/10 (10 is best) - **Tracking** – Yes ## AliExpress Premium Shipping  AliExpress Premium Shipping is a more expensive and **faster version of AliExpress Standard Shipping** that provides delivery by air. The estimated shipping time for AliExpress Premium is **7-14 days** and provides full end to end tracking. In general, AliExpress Premium will be **significantly cheaper than DHL, EMS** and other air shipping methods and is a good balance of cost vs speed if you need your goods fast. **Important Stats:** - **Shipping Time** – 7-14 days - **Cost** – 5/10 (10 is best) - **Tracking** – Yes ## ePacket  ePacket is a popular shipping method for sellers doing [AliExpress dropshipping](https://mywifequitherjob.com/aliexpress-dropshipping-oberlo-epacket/) because it’s **fast and inexpensive**. However, there are **several restrictions** on package size and declared value. For example, in order to qualify for ePacket, your package… - **Must not exceed** 4.4lbs in weight - **Must not exceed** \$400 in declared value - **Must not exceed** 36 inches in total length + height + width ePacket shipping takes **7-30 days** and is the best value if you need fast shipping at a reasonable price. However, most AliExpress merchants are **not supporting ePacket shipping** during the pandemic. **Important Stats:** - **Shipping Time** – 7-30 days - **Cost** – 7/10 (10 is best) - **Tracking** – Yes ## Yanwen Express  Yanwen Express directly **competes with AliExpress Standard Shipping** and offers end to end tracking of your packages. To keep prices low and shipping times fast, **Yanwen works together with existing shipping services** like DHL and China Post to provide a cost efficient service. Delivery times are **between 25-30 days** which puts it within the typical shipping window for AliExpress standard shipping. **Important Stats:** - **Shipping Time** – 25-30 days - **Cost** – 7/10 (10 is best) - **Tracking** – Yes ## SunYou Economic Air Mail  SunYou is one of the cheapest ways to ship from AliExpress and **competes directly with Cainiao Super Economy**. The average delivery time for SunYou is **40-60 days** and no tracking is provided. As a result, do not use SunYou if you run an ecommerce business. Similar to Cainiao, SunYou has a reputation for **excessive shipping times** but you get what you pay for. **Important Stats:** - **Shipping Time** – 40-60 days - **Cost** – 10/10 (10 is best) - **Tracking** – No ## EMS  EMS is a subsidiary of China Post that offers extremely **fast delivery times** by air to over 200 countries. The shipping times are between **5-10 days** which is competitive compared to carriers like DHL, FedEx and UPS. Packages shipped via EMS can **weigh up to 40kg** and there’s full **end to end tracking** of your packages. Compared to ePacket, **EMS packages have a higher priority** when going through customs which makes delivery faster. **Important Stats:** - **Shipping Time** – 5-10 days - **Cost** – 3/10 (10 is best) - **Tracking** – Yes ## DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT  FedEx, UPS, DHL or TNT are the fastest and the **most reliable ways to ship** products purchased on AliExpress. Typically delivery times are **less than 5 days** but it comes at a cost. DHL, FedEx, UPS and TNT will easily be the **most expensive methods to ship** packages from China to the US. **Important Stats:** - **Shipping Time** – Less than 5 days - **Cost** – 1/10 (10 is best) - **Tracking** – Yes ## China Post Air Parcel  China Post Air Parcel is a mid range shipping service that takes **between 7-30 days for delivery.** Comparing ePacket to China Post Air Parcel, **ePacket shipping will almost always be cheaper** as long as your package meets the ePacket requirements. For most purchases on AliExpress, **China Post Air Parcel doesn’t compete well** on either price or speed of delivery compared to the other options. **Important Stats:** - **Shipping Time** – 7-30 days - **Cost** – 4/10 (10 is best) - **Tracking** – Yes ## The Best AliExpress Shipping Method For Dropshipping **The best AliExpress shipping method** for [dropshipping](https://mywifequitherjob.com/why-dropshipping-isnt-as-easy-and-simple-as-you-think/) is ePacket. Delivery is fast, the prices are extremely inexpensive and you get full end to end tracking. **However, many suppliers on AliExpress are not offering ePacket right now.** When ePacket is not available, your best option is usually **AliExpress standard shipping or Cainiao Expedited Standard.** **Never use Cainiao Super Economy** or any shipping carrier that does not offer end to end tracking. Packages get delayed often and your customers will ask for the status of their order. ## The Cheapest AliExpress Shipping Method The cheapest AliExpress shipping method is **Cainiao Super Economy.** **Here’s an example** of how much it costs to ship a dozen handkerchiefs from China to the US through AliExpress. - Cainiao Super Economy – \$1.58 - Cainiao Expedited Standard – \$3.88 - AliExpress Standard Shipping – \$3.68 - AliExpress Premium Shipping – \$27.15 - UPS Express Saver – \$28.97 - EMS – \$40.17 - ePacket – \$14.07 - DHL – \$57.54 ## The Fastest AliExpress Shipping Method The fastest shipping method for AliExpress is **DHL, FedEx or UPS**. However, the cost of these services is expensive and can be more expensive than the product itself. Realistically, it’s **not worth paying for express shipping** for your products. **The best bang for your buck** in terms of cost vs speed is AliExpress Standard Shipping, ePacket and Cainiao Expedited Standard. **Below is a table** of how long it takes to ship a dozen handkerchiefs purchased from AliExpress. - Cainiao Super Economy – 57 days - Cainiao Expedited Standard – 16 days - AliExpress Standard Shipping – 42 days - AliExpress Premium Shipping – 33 days - UPS Express Saver – 18 days - EMS – 33 days - ePacket – 12 days - DHL – 7 days ## How To Track AliExpress Orders Orders can be tracked directly on the AliExpress.com website **under “My Orders”.** Simply locate your order and **click on the “Track Order” button.**  You’ll find the shipping method, the tracking information and the estimated delivery time.
