Shipping large Orders and Products by Fast Air from china

[garry9061]

Hello All

I just paid a supplier and he is shipping my products by Fast Air and i know he is a good reliable supplier,

I am just wondering if anyone has any experience with this type of shipping methods and what did you think of the speed of delivery etc

regards
Garrett

I don't think there is any actual service by that name. I have seen it used on Alibaba, AliExpress and DHgate. It just means that the goods are being shipped by air. In the case of DHL, it takes 3-4 days. If it just means China Post Airmail, it can still mean a 7-10 day wait for the goods.

But I am in the US and you are in Ireland, so the times could be very different.

I would ask your supplier what service he is using so that you will have a better time estimate. Here in the US, it is not just about how long it takes the order to "touch down" in the US, but how long it takes customs to process it. For example, if I order via DHL, the normal delivery time is 3-4 days from the time DHL picks up the package. But if US Customs decides to inspect the package, that can easily add another 7 days.

How it works in Ireland, I don't know.
