Postal Packet
Category: logistics
Lightweight international mail service via national postal systems, the cheapest but slowest option.
Postal packets are small international shipments sent through national postal services (USPS, Royal Mail, China Post) and delivered by the destination country's postal service. They offer the lowest cost but slowest delivery times (7-30 days) with limited tracking.
Examples
- • China Post ePacket delivers to the US in 7-15 days at $2-5 per package.
- • Postal packets under 2kg qualify for Universal Postal Union (UPU) rates.
- • eBay and AliExpress sellers commonly use postal packets for low-value items.
