A: Just contact us, we will help you to find what happens. But hope you can understand that when your parcel is shipped out, we can not control its status/shipping time, sometimes China Post is also not able to provide more assistance, since it is a long journey from our city to yours. In most of cases, we need to be more patient to wait more days. If we believe that your parcel is lost during delivery, we will ship out replacement to you.
A: If your parcel shows damage on receipt, attempt to open it in the presence of the postman or at least bring it to his/her attention when signing for the item. And please feel free to contact us, if possible, please try to send the pictures of the damaged package or item, we will provide the best service to you.

A: Our target is to providing 100% best service to you. As to insurance, you need not to pay it seperatly. But your parcel will be insured when shipped out. We will cover this cost for you! If your parcel was lost during delivery, just feel free to contact us!
A: But not all shipping methods are in this case. Take Normal DHL (by Agent) for example, for parcels weighing 21kg, it only cost US$111.9, which is much lower than US$118.44 charged for 17kg parcels. The reason is that when parcel reach 21kg, we could get better shipping price from post agent.
Kind Suggestion: When your parcel weighs more than 17kg but less than 21kg, we recommend you to buy more items, in that case, for all extra items you add, you do not have to pay additional shipping fee, and the shipping fee you have to pay may be lower.
Following is the detailed shipping information:

A:
For normal airmail shipping and EMS shipping, shipping fee was calculated by shipping weight only, which will not be related with volume. For example, if the shipping weight of one parcel is only 2KG, but the volume is 1m³, then the shipping fee will only calculate shipping weight of 2KG. Shipping company will not consider the parcel's volume, in another word, they will not charge additonal fee for the volume.
For DHL, UPS, Fedex, shipping company also consider parcel's volume when charging shipping fee. For example,
for item B06158, whose weight is 0.8KG, with volume of 13142cm 29.5(length)*13.5(Width)*33(height)=13142cm³. The shipping company will charge shipping fee by volume, that's to say, they will charge shipping fee of 2.62kg for this parcel instead of 0.8kg.
Here is the detail of their calculation method for reference:
Using Volume 13142cm³ divide 5000
volume weight: 13142/5000=2.62kg (the result 2.62kg is the shipping weight they will charge)
Note: if the result is less than actual shipping weight, shipping company will charge the heavier ones(actual shipping weight). In one word, for one parcel, there are two kinds of weight, one is actual weight, the other is volume weight. After comparison with two weight, shipping company will charge by the heavier one. When parcel's volume is big, normally the volume weight will be heavier. So they will charge by volume weight.
In conclusion, when your order's volume is big, for example, if you ordered B61979
Wholesale - Cotton & Linen Jewelry Displays Human Off-white 29cm x 14cm
We recommend you to choose EMS and Airmail. The shipping fee will be as usual. If you choose DHL, UPS, Fedex, normally you have to pay by volume weight. Just like the above parcel, although it is 0.8kg, but shipping company will charge shipping fee of 2.62kg.
Any question, just feel free to call Live Help or email us via service@8seasons.com.
