USA Shipping Recommendations
For USA buyers, DHL and FedEx are the gold standard for speed and reliability. Most packages arrive within 5-7 business days with full tracking. EMS is a solid budget alternative at roughly 30% less cost, with delivery typically in 8-12 days. For small items under 2kg, EUB offers excellent value with full tracking at a fraction of the price. We recommend declaring packages at $12-$15 per kg for US customs.
UK & Germany Shipping Tips
UK shoppers should consider DPD, EMS, or Royal Mail-compatible lines. DPD is especially reliable with full tracking and 7-10 day delivery. Declare under GBP135 to avoid VAT complications. For Germany, the tax-free line is the safest option — it handles customs declaration automatically and has a very high success rate. DHL also works well for Germany but requires more careful declaration. Always avoid declaring luxury brand names on the customs form.
Europe Shipping Overview
For other European countries, EMS and DHL are generally the best options. France, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands have good EMS success rates. DHL works well for most EU countries but costs more. If your country has strict customs (like Belgium or Switzerland), consider using triangular shipping or tax-free lines to minimize risk.

How to Package Your Haul
Smart packaging can save you money and reduce customs risk. We recommend removing shoeboxes for non-collectors (saves 20-30% volume). Request vacuum sealing for clothing to compress the package. Remove tags and packaging if you do not need them. For branded items, ask Superbuy to wrap them in plain packaging. Always keep the declared value reasonable and match it to a generic item description.
- Remove shoeboxes to reduce volumetric weight
- Vacuum seal clothing for smaller package size
- Remove unnecessary tags and retail packaging
- Request plain outer wrapping for branded items
- Declare reasonable values with generic descriptions
- Add moisture absorbers for sea mail shipments
FAQ: Shipping
What is the cheapest way to ship a 5kg haul to Germany?
SAL or sea mail is cheapest at around $40-50, but takes 3-8 weeks. For faster delivery, the tax-free line costs about $60-70 and arrives in 8-14 days.
Can I track my package after it leaves China?
Yes, most lines offer full tracking. DHL, EMS, and DPD provide the most detailed tracking updates. SAL and sea mail have limited updates.
What happens if my package is seized by customs?
Seizures are rare with proper declaration. If it happens, contact Superbuy support. Some shipping lines include insurance that covers partial losses.
