Shipping is the final — and often most nerve-wracking — part of the rep buying process. You've found the perfect items on the AllChinaBuy Spreadsheet, reviewed the QC photos, and approved shipment. Now you just need to get your haul from AllChinaBuy's warehouse to your door. This guide covers everything you need to know about shipping through AllChinaBuy in 2025.
Understanding AllChinaBuy's Shipping Lines
AllChinaBuy offers a wide range of shipping lines, each with different speed, cost, and customs risk profiles. The right choice depends on your country, the size of your package, and your priorities (speed vs. cost vs. customs safety).
The most important thing to understand is that shipping lines are not created equal for every country. A line that works great for US buyers might be problematic for EU buyers, and vice versa. Always research which lines work best for your specific country before making a decision.
AllChinaBuy's interface shows estimated delivery times and costs for each line based on your package weight and destination. Use these estimates as a starting point, but also check community feedback for your specific country.
Shipping Line Comparison for Major Destinations
Here's a detailed breakdown of the most popular shipping lines for major destinations:
| YunExpress (US) | 10-18 days, $15-25 for 1kg. Good customs clearance rate. Most popular for US buyers. |
| EMS (Global) | 12-20 days, $20-35 for 1kg. Reliable tracking, good for most countries. |
| PostNL (EU) | 14-21 days, $12-20 for 1kg. Good for Netherlands and surrounding countries. |
| DHL Express | 5-8 days, $35-60 for 1kg. Fastest option but highest customs scrutiny. |
| Sea Shipping | 30-60 days, $8-15 for 1kg. Cheapest for large hauls. No tracking until arrival. |
Customs: What You Need to Know
Customs is the biggest concern for most rep buyers, and it's also the most misunderstood aspect of the process. Here's what you actually need to know:
**Declared value**: AllChinaBuy typically declares packages as low-value gifts to minimize customs duties. The declared value is usually $10-30 regardless of the actual value. This is standard practice in the rep community.
**Customs seizure**: Customs seizure is relatively rare for personal-use quantities. The risk increases with package size and value. Splitting large hauls into multiple smaller packages can reduce risk.
**Country-specific rules**: Customs rules vary significantly by country. The US is generally lenient for personal use quantities. The EU has stricter rules, especially for packages over €150. Australia and Canada are moderate.
**What happens if seized**: If your package is seized, AllChinaBuy's buyer protection may cover a partial refund. Check their current policy for details.
