How long does delivery take from Alibaba

The delivery time from the Alibaba store is no different from ordinary parcels from Chinese online stores. As a rule, delivery times are in the range from 10 to 45 days, depending on the volume and weight of the shipment. However, in the case of Alibaba, these terms can be either shorter or longer due to the specifics of the work.

You probably already know that Alibaba is a wholesale store, which means your packages will be big and heavy! In this case, you will not be able to use international express couriers, as you did before, for retail purchases (China Post, EMS, UPS, TNT, etc.).

Small wholesale exception - here you can do without logisticians and intermediaries. The seller will be able to deliver your goods free of charge only to the port (within China) - this usually takes 1-3 days.

And then do whatever you want - all the hassle of delivery and customs clearance of the cargo falls on your shoulders. Therefore, as a rule, all entrepreneurs use the services of intermediaries. For a monetary reward, the intermediary will solve all these issues for you. In this case, delivery will take no more than 30 days.

Naturally, this is subject to the availability of goods in the supplier's warehouse. If it is not there, it will still take time to produce and manufacture it. But all this is already discussed with the seller before paying.
