We have decided not to leave you with doubts, so in this article we will show you the points you should consider when opting for express shipping.
Types of shipments that Shein has
Believe it or not, Shein offers several shipping models, in addition to the conventional ones, we explain below:
Express or standard shipping
On average, this type of shipping takes between 10 and 15 days after you have made your purchase. It has a higher cost than standard shipping, but has the advantage that you can track your package.
Depending on the country you are in, the name of this method may change. In some it is ‘express’ and in others it is under the name ‘standard’, but they are exactly the same.
Collection point
Some countries have the option to choose the exact place where you want to pick up the product. Thanks to that method, you will be able to know at what time the package will arrive to you. It is the best option for people who are away from home for a long time.
Economic shipping
This is the first choice of many people, because of the price, but its functions and advantages are somewhat limited. With this method you will not be able to track your order step by step, it may even take days or weeks without knowing where it is or how long until it arrives.
Your products may take about a month or a little longer to arrive. the good thing is that, even if the time frame is not the shortest, you can be sure that what you ordered will get to you.
