Depending on the destination address, the delivery of air freight typically takes 10–14 days and is a door-to-door service. Once the shipment reaches out, we will provide you with the tracking number. The journey works in two stages:
- First round: the goods fly to the destination country's customs (during this air transit period, tracking updates are usually not available).
- Second round: after customs clearance is completed, the parcel is handed over to FEDEX, UPS, or another local express carrier — from that point onward, real-time tracking information will start updating online progressively.
