By direct air (no consolidation), as quickly as 5 days, or 8 days max.

For your reference:
- 2 orders placed from different merchants on 20 May after 6pm, and received today at 12noon, 28 May (slight delay likely due to Haji holiday on 27 May)
- Another purchase was made on 4 April at 10pm, and received 10 April morning.
- Another purchase was made on 19 Mar, 11am. Received 24 Mar, 1230pm.

Ya shopee also got next day delivery if vendor got local stock.
But if item need come fr China will still need 1 week lead time (probably via air ba)
But all in, Shopee slightly more ex than TB or PDD.
So it depends on if one can wait or not.

local sellers famous for flipping things for double without value add
only for the convenience of browsing fully in english


sea shipping is 2-3 weeks
depending on big a gap it wait before loaded onto ship , how fast the ship full and exit port , how traffic jam the port in SG is --- this one they can cushion by making the ship move slower for fuel savings and arrive later than expected to not arrive at original date and just wait there

depends air or ship
More accurately i think
Depends on seller mostly.
Then buyer choose direct air (fastest n most ex) or consol sea (slowest, cheapest)

But kumgong i think to buy luggage box via tb.
(Big m3, low weight yet charged by m3)
Not like u can stuff it gaogao then 1 single m3.

From an experience buyer, you just need know the product origin.

Buy from origins nearest to the export warehouse.

Most sellers are just dropshipper, they are just fronting the factory, it's the factory that ship the goods out with seller info.

In the past I buy from sellers from Guangzhou if buying IT products.
Google search claimed that The three primary manufacturing regions of luggage are Guangdong, Hebei, and Zhejiang.

Standard air is 3-5 days, sea shipping 2-3 weeks. The factory to shipping port varies, you just to minimize less than 3 days for this first journey.

i buy from china sellers on shopee. delivery is probably just another 2-3 days more.

some items that unlikely to have any flaws/damages, i get from taobao. eg bicycle tyres/tube via sea. save $4-5 vs shopee after using vouchers/coins.
