The following is an answer for everyone.

How does Amazon ship overseas?

In fact, you can choose Amazon logistics or your own logistics to ship the goods.

1. Amazon air and sea shipping line (United States, Japan, Europe, Canada, Australia) This line has arrangements with major domestic companies, and the supporting countries are determined by major companies. You can also choose certain professional logistics to handle related business.

2. International express has fast timeliness and is suitable for emergency replenishment. Moreover, there is no need to make an appointment for warehousing. However, it is important to note that Asia is not the customs clearance entity and is not responsible for customs clearance and tax payment. Please be sure to declare and prepay.

3. China Post Logistics: For small and medium-sized sellers, small packages can be used for products weighing less than 4 kg, and large packages can be used for products weighing more than 4 catties. Of course, EMS or E-Packet can also be considered in some cases.

The reputation and safety of state-owned enterprises can be perfectly guaranteed (there are also requirements and restrictions on the products themselves. Electric, counterfeit and special products cannot be delivered. It is suitable for goods with high value, timeliness and relatively large size).

4. Some express delivery channels usually use Yanwen Express, etc. The charges vary, but the speed is very fast.

5. Transshipment. Simply speaking, it is to transfer from the local country to another country to support foreign express delivery. It is relatively troublesome. Most express delivery companies in China have not yet opened such business, so this method is not commonly used. It is just that overseas transfer to domestic is more common. For example, overseas direct mail is relatively more used by domestic users.

Does Amazon offer free shipping?

The shipping fee calculation method for US overseas shopping products is based on the weight or volume of the package, and the fees charged for each delivery method are also different, depending on the situation.

Shipping costs within the United States are free for self-operated orders over $49. The other part is the shipping cost from the forwarding company's warehouse in the United States to China. The forwarding prices vary.

Amazon launched a promotion of free shipping for direct mail, which saved many people the shipping fee. Although many people know how to shop overseas, few people know about this promotion.

If you want to send products from Amazon in China to foreign countries, you can actually use Amazon's courier or the courier you contact. There are many ways to send it, including air transportation, sea transportation, etc. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
