If you’re a frequent AliExpress shopper, you’ve probably heard about the different shipping methods offered by the Chinese company Cainiao.
In today’s article, we’ll be talking a bit about Cainiao Super Economy Global, who are part of the list of shipping methods available on AliExpress and have caused great doubts about hiring their services.
Additionally, we’ll be making a comparison between the other available methods and Cainiao, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
Really, what is Cainiao Super Economy Global?
The Cainiao Super Economy Global shipping method defines itself as the economical shipping option used when purchasing lower-value products. It’s generally free of charge or costs very little to purchase.
Unlike other slightly more expensive options, Cainiao Super Economy Global doesn’t offer a tracking service but does support combined deliveries.
Tracking
As we indicated above, this shipping option doesn’t offer tracking. Therefore, it’s very normal that once you have made the purchase with this option, it disappears from the tracking app. It’ll only reappear once the delivery person delivers the package.
How long does this type of shipping take?
AliExpress offers an estimated time of 30-60 days for each shipment. However, this date works simply as a guideline, since the new improvements that the sales page has been implementing over the years have made this time significantly reduced.
But, if you still want the delivery time of your order to be much shorter, selecting “Combined Delivery” will make it possible.
If you don’t know what the “Combined Delivery” option is, we explain it below:
What is combined delivery, and what is it for?
Among the features of the Cainiao Super Economy Global shipping method is the combined delivery option, which allows you to group several orders in order to get them in the shortest possible time.
It’s important to note that all orders must have the Combined Delivery option checked and orders must not exceed $5.00 of the total order amount.

Get to know the advantages of using combined delivery
One of the advantages of using combined delivery is that we won’t have to wait so long for our order to arrive.
Another advantage of requesting combined delivery is that you’ll receive all your items in the same package. Thus, you’ll avoid worrying about not knowing where the product is when it comes in separate packages.

Opinions on Cainiao Super Economy Global
As you may already know, this shipping method is extremely economical, so we’ll always recommend it to you if you plan to purchase several products of lower value.
However, every good thing has a bad thing. The disadvantage of Cainiao Super Economy Global is that, due to its economic access, it travels much longer routes than the other shipping options. This makes the order take longer to arrive.
Even so, it doesn’t matter if there’s any kind of problem with your order, since you’ll still have the support and backing of AliExpress to get your money back.
Is Cainiao Super Economy Global your best option for free shipping?
In addition to this shipping method, there are other free shipping methods that may be available from your preferred seller or store. That’s why we will present a comparison between the most popular ones on AliExpress in order to help you choose the most suitable for you:
AliExpress Standard Shipping vs. Cainiao Super Economy Global
AliExpress Standard Shipping is a shipping method that works directly with AliExpress. It has a shipping certificate that allows you to have full control of your purchase from the moment you make it, as well as a security backup that you must sign to receive your order.

Which of the two methods is better?
In this sense, we can understand that this method is much more secure and reliable, making it your best choice over Cainiao Super Economy Global.
AliExpress Saver Shipping vs. Cainiao Super Economy Global
For this meeting it’s important for you to know that both shipping methods are of the simple type, so you won’t have any security certificate nor will you have to sign for the delivery person to deliver the package.
The only difference between AliExpress Saver Shipping and Cainiao Super Economy Global is that the first option has the possibility to track your order, which means that you will have more information about it once you have placed it.
Which method is better?
Taking into account the possibility of knowing where your order goes, and that between both services the price is almost similar… AliExpress Saver Shipping seems like your best option.
Cainiao Standard for Special Goods vs. Cainiao Super Economy Global
Now, between these two shipping methods, there’s the difference that Cainiao Standard for Special Goods has certified shipping, but is under the management of the same company Cainiao.
Which method is better?
Although both shipping methods are managed by the same company, the difference between them is not only based on their certification, but also on the speed of shipping. Cainiao Standard for Special Gods is the safer and more reliable method.
AliExpress’ support will always be there for you
