How CNFans Shipping Works
After you give GL on your QC photos, CNFans packs your items and ships them via your chosen shipping route. You pay for shipping based on actual weight + dimensional weight.
CNFans offers multiple shipping routes with different price points, speeds, and customs risk profiles. Choosing the right route is key to cost efficiency and safe delivery.
Tracking is available for most routes. You'll receive a tracking number once your package leaves the CNFans warehouse.

Tips to Reduce CNFans Shipping Costs
Minimize Package Weight
Remove original shoeboxes and use poly bags for lightweight items. This reduces dimensional weight significantly.
Consolidate Orders
Combine multiple orders into one shipment (haul) to split the base shipping cost across more items.
Choose the Right Route
For high-risk customs countries, avoid DHL. Yanwen or E-Packet often clear customs more reliably.
Avoid Peak Seasons
Shipping during Chinese New Year or Golden Week causes delays. Plan your hauls accordingly.
