 What's going on guys welcome to another video. So today then I want to talk to you about e-package shipping or just shipping from aliexpress in general Then does it really take as long as anyone says so just to show you a couple of quick things This is the actual official e-package website And if we just scroll down to where they quote their average e-package shipping times Brazil 20 to 30 days Mexico 20 days Russia Ukraine Saudi Arabia 7 to 15 and then all other supported countries 7 to 10 business days Now if they are quoting these times then why do I like why the times on aliexpress so fast and so random? So for example, then we have this product here which quotes 20 to 35 days e-pack it to the UK But then we also have this product here which quotes 15 days via e-pack it to the UK So why is there such a fast range in the quarterly delivery times and how long then does it actually take? So this is what we're going to be discussing in the video though But before we jump into it as always I am giving away a free One-to-one consultation call with myself in this video or you've got to do then to enter I simply like the video and leave a comment down below and then if you commented on yesterday's video Then make sure you stay tuned to the end of this one where the winner will be announced and that means so then guys without any further ado Thank you for tuning in. I hope you enjoy the video and let's get straight into it What's going on then guys welcome to this video So just in case you wondered how e-pack it was so cheap because I know when I first started dropship And then I always wondered how you could ship something from China to the To the UK for less than what it would cost to send something from the UK to someone else in the UK And when I went to China then last year I've actually found out why and the way it works the reason they can send things so cheap Is because they'll have like a cargo plane similar to this that will just be full and full of pallets And because planes are obviously round pallets are square They would have all this kind of dead space around the edges If you can see this kind of spaces that they're not making use of So what they would do is they would sell these spaces Of really cheap to shipping companies and all these little e-packet parcels would just be Bundled together in kind of similar to what these wrapped in like a fishnet But obviously smaller holes so they don't fall through and they would just be thrown and stuffed down the side of the plane And that's how they can send little parcels like that so cheaply because These companies that run the planes like ups the big ones They wouldn't be making use of this space anyway. They wouldn't be getting paid for this space So selling the space off really cheaply is just an extra way of essentially just bringing in more money through the door That they otherwise wouldn't be have so that's how e-packet works And that's how you can ship something so cheaply just in case you're interested So this is the e-packet express website then any information regarding e-packet This is where I come just because you can't trust what aliexpress themselves are saying at the end of the day They're not the ones shipping the shipping the actual package It's your supplier and it's this company here who are fulfilling the whole shipping as well and and pretty much just Taking care of the logistics between china and between the uk So to start with then they give you a list of all the different countries that you can Essentially use the e-packet service for so as long as you can target these countries on facebook then by all means They're definitely worth experimenting with Especially some of the european countries that have a high percentage of english proficiency Just an example then the netherlands I think it was something like nine out of ten people in the netherlands can actually speak english as a second language So advertising on facebook with english ads is definitely worthwhile It's definitely a country that not a lot of people in the uk will be targeting purely because They don't expect people over there to be able to understand their ads So there's a lot more content coming on that by the way And just to scroll down then you can see they've got their average shipping times now Obviously these guys being e-packet themselves their shipping times are probably going to be a tad on the lower side But what i'm going to be talking about in this video then is from my own personal experiences so i've been dropshipping now for nearly three years And probably since day one in fact i've always been using e-packet anything that's come from aliexpress Has always been e-packet so from my personal experiences then as long as it's kind of like a normal product And what i mean by a normal product is the fact that it's got no batteries in it. Um, it's not electrical It's got no kind of like fluids or anything consumables in Then delivering to the uk and to the us in fact canada as well I don't really do much in australia But certainly the western side of the globe so the us canada and the uk then seven to ten business days is pretty accurate In fact, it's very rarely that anything will take longer than that Now i do rona free Shopify facebook group that you can join and there's been people posting there Um a fair bit lately and some people said like they've had things arrive in less than seven business days so sometimes it can actually be quicker now the reason aliexpress quotes so long so it was This product here 20 to 35 business days the reason they quote so long and supplies play it on the safe side is because If they send their item and it gets held up in customs and it ends up taking a bit longer And actually taking so let's say for example They did only quote seven to ten business days as soon as it takes longer than that Then you can open a claim against that supplier on aliexpress and ask for a refund. So that's why they Essentially quote these longer business times to give them kind of like a buffer Just in case things do get held up in customs because they can But from my own personal experiences, then I've found that items like this. So just straightforward simple items They'll get pushed through customs pretty quickly because they're not harmful. They can't really be harmful to anyone whereas things like led dog collars when they're used to Dropship led dog collars. They would be an absolute nightmare sometimes and sometimes they just wouldn't arrive Like when you can track them on aliexpress, they'd just be held in customs forever and they would just stay there So things that contain anything hazardous any kind of liquid or if it's powered by the mains or if it has a battery in it They're the sort of things that are likely to take a bit more time to get processed through customs And they are more likely to take these kind of delivery times like 20 to 35 days Whereas simple items like this in my personal experience will just get pushed through customs No problems at all because there's nothing hazardous And you can see these guys are absolutely pretty confident in quoting estimated delivery time in 15 days And like I said the only reason they over quote things is just to kind of give themselves that buffer Just in case that is a delay because like I said once it goes past the quoted delivery time Then you can't actually open up a claim and you can like essentially just ask for your money back from the supplier So just in case then 15 days still isn't good enough for you or seven to ten business days Then there's a couple of things you can do So I've got this page open here all I've done is simply search for dog to show that there's a vast Amount of products because when you Essentially what I'm doing then is you can change where you're shipping from in this if you just have a look at this tab here You can change What country you want to source the products from and the more specific you go with the products then the less available There are going to be that's why I've gone quite broad But anyway, we can still do it if I go ship from the uk We can pick this product here. We'll open that up and we can see we can Essentially choose all these different countries to ship the products from and like it says there four pound 50s are quite expensive But estimated delivery time is only five to seven business days But you can also do other countries so you can choose to ship from but spain is usually pretty quickly So if we select spain, um, we can see we can still get the same products. In fact, let's go back to this page so Delivery to the uk then from spain is five to 15 days We can do germany five to 15 days. In fact, they can't deliver from germany But there's loads and loads of different countries that you can choose from now Sometimes they are going to be really expensive like so 10 pound 50. That's very expensive But you will find products if you do your research, then you will find products that are going to be a lot cheaper To ship to the uk. So let's just have a quick look at this one ships from spain e plug So five pound 66 Now the products is quite expensive So you could probably work that in but simply to do this then all you do is you go to the top of the page here And click the country that you want to sell it to so let's say we want to sell to the us for example United States Save let's say we're in the dog niche So these are going to be all the products that can ship to the us and then we can choose which countries want to choose from So we can choose us to us and this should be pretty cheap Then if we just go by orders So we're going to have a look at the most popular products Ships on the us so five dollars 79 is pretty good But four to 13 days is obviously very good and completely avoids That potentially one month even two months delivery time and that being said then guys I'm going to wrap the video up there as you can see there's a few different work away A few different workarounds Moral of the video then don't take face value for what alexpress is quoting do you dig in do you research and find out How long is actually going to take like I said these supplies you can open Cases against them and ask for a refund as soon as it goes over that estimated delivery time That is why they have to play it so safe So don't be afraid to tell your customers then up to two weeks Depending on what the product is you might want to quote a bit longer but like I said In my own personal experience these kind of products then that show no kind of harm or potential Potentially hazardous will arrive a lot quicker And even if you do have to quote like those three to four weeks Then it's not going to put absolutely every single person off A lot of people will say drop shipping doesn't work because of the delivery times But you've seen it you can get it within 15 days and even if it does take longer like I've had people wait Two months for a dog collar before as long as you provide good customer service And you're fair and you treat them like a human and you understand what they're saying and You're apologetic and you give them a discount code or whatever it is as long as you just Treat people fairly and well then they're more than happy to wait in the majority of the cases And that being said guys, that's it for the video if you did enjoy it Please do leave a like please do leave a comment as well If you want to be entered into the one-to-one raffle for the call And that being said then let's announce yesterday's winner.
