First of all, you must know that the time of shipping is determined by several dimensions, such as the date of departure, shipping time, arrival time, etc. Each of these links may affect the overall transportation timeliness.

1. Date of sailing

After the shipping company receives the goods from the seller, it has to wait until the shipping date arrives before setting off the ship. Therefore, it is recommended that you best submit all the materials required for customs declaration before closing the order to avoid affecting customs declaration and cargo transportation.

2. Shipping time by sea

Fixed LCL shipping every week, the shipping schedule is stable, and the shipping period is about 24-30 days, unless it is particularly bad weather, it will affect the transportation time. If it is a fast ship, then the shipping time will be shorter.

3. Arrival time

After shipping by sea, it will arrive at the corresponding port (the main British ports are: London Port, Liverpool Port, Felixstowe Port, Southampton Port). However, the arrival time is different. Generally, customs clearance can be completed in 1-2 days, and then the goods can be sent to the warehouse for delivery immediately.

4. Tail delivery(Door to Door）

Generally, there are two types of delivery by sea: truck and express. For express delivery, the timeliness is faster, and it can be completed in 1-2 days; for trucks, the cost is lower, but the timeliness is also slower.
