You have or you want to start an electronic shop and it is nightmare to import goods in country.
You have got the business registered, got the import license. And now you, or your customer has to pay high import duties each time you, or they, receive a parcel.
It’s either that or the item stays in the custom shed for weeks on end while the customer sends email after irate email.
HELP!!!!!
Relax. EMS could be the answer to your problems.
EMS is an express air mail service set up in 1980 by the China Courier Service Corporation (CCSC). A state owned enterprise owned completely by the CCP.
As a result of the unique circumstances that EMS operates in (half fastpost service, half courier service) it tends to be a little faster than airmail.
It is also more likely to enjoy the preferential treatment customs officials show to airmail packages.
It also has a higher level of trackabillity than airmail.
As a result, the average package shipped by EMS will possibly:
- Be shipped within seven to 10 days
- Be tracked from the EMS website.
- Be insured by EMS as well as being covered by the Chinavasion Delivery Warranty
- Be the smoothest way for Customs clearance
- Be delivered to almost every country (email us to find out)
Countries such as Brazil or Greece tend to have strict import restrictions and their deliveries may be unfairly delayed and highly taxed for customs clearance purpose.
EMS shipment may enjoy a preferential treatment of the Post, Customs and airline companies in some cases, which makes life easier for you and your customers.
Now that you know how EMS can be useful to you, here is how to ship your Chinavasion order with EMS.
Currently EMS is not a public option in the Chinavasion.com checkout, but that doesn’t mean that you cannot select it as your shipping option.
In fact all it requires is a very easy tweak of our checkout box:
As you can see from the example above all you need to do is to put the details into the checkout in the normal way with two small changes:
- You will just need to select the cheapest option from either DHL, UPS or FedEX ONLY
- You will need to write
Ship By EMS
in the comments box
Once that is done you can pay for the order as usual.
When we we check the order we will measure the cost of EMS. If the shipping cost for the goods is not too much higher via EMS we will proceed and send out your order. If the shipping cost via EMS is more expensive we may contact you to discuss any additional charge.
So, there you have it.
You can place your Chinavasion order and ship it with EMS
Get ready for a smooth delivery!

EMS always cheaper than other couriers.
Why you dont simply include ems in the checkout box options?
I do not understand why I must pay price of Fedex or DHL for having the product sent by EMS.
Also I do not understand the motive because they collect for HKpost registered a value so above their table.
Thanks.
I agree with Jailza.
I would like to see EMS included in the checkout, it seems to be that better courier and cheaper.
Cheers.
Agree, we all need EMS shipping with prices lower than DHL/FEDEX/UPS/TNT!
I’m 100% SURE that sales will boost at least TWICE if EMS option with real shipping price will be available at checkout!
For personal use EMS is ideal, A cheaper option and I would love to see it made available across the board,
But for business use I feel the other couriers have the edge as when someone orders something from me they want the product yesterday… However to gve them the option would mean I could keep them happy with a lower price, I never make profit on Shipping, so could give the option to my customers of a cheaper price if they are prepared to wait upto another week.
Come on Chinavasion, Lets see this option available on all products soon!
I have noticed another site that offers free shipping through EMS, However their prices are obviously loaded in the first place, And i have no trust in that site as I see so many brand names that are obviously fake.
