What Is ePacket delivery?
ePacket delivery is an agreement between the US Postal Service and the Hongkong Post to boost growth in ecommerce. It allows for faster ePacket delivery of lightweight products coming from China and Hong Kong to the US. Merchants can send small packages weighing up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs).
Note that the value of the package also needs to be less than $400.
This new method of shipping offers a variety of benefits to buyers, including:
Door-to-door ePacket tracking
Postal customs clearance on any duties or taxes paid by the recipient
ePacket was originally created specifically for ecommerce purchases. The goal was to allow customers in the United States to have access to affordable shipping costs when ordering from China. Then, ePacket became so successful within the US that they’ve now expanded into numerous countries around the world. The list of countries that have access to ePacket is constantly growing.
Keep in mind that it’s not possible to offer free shipping on all products. If the package is under 24″ x 36″ and less than 2kg it can qualify for ePacket shipping. Notably, this type of ePacket delivery method must be shipped from either China or Hong Kong. Thus, if certain AliExpress vendors have products shipping within the US, customers cannot benefit from ePacket shipping in that specific case.
