Recently we noticed that the famed China wholesale website DHgate has made some changes to its homepage. The “Promotions” tag used to be located at the right top of the homepage has been moved to the left top–right above the “Wholesale Categories”.

DHgate seems to be upgrading its shipping service. Recently, a new shipping service called Hongkong Post has been added to the list of shipping methods available on the China wholesale site. Now DHgate supports 5 shipping methods in total: DHL, UPS, TNT, EMS and HongKong Post. Below you can find some information on this new service cited from DHgate’s wholesale blog:

HK Post covers a very large service network–it can reach almost every country or region of the world. Also, it enjoys a high reputation for its low cost but outstanding service.

Price: Low as 3 RMB for cross-country delivery
Delivery Time: About 5 to 10 days to major European and American ports
Security: Package lost rate lower than 0.3%

The HK Post service is particularly cost-effective with international registered post small packets of less than 2 kg. So this shipping method is highly recommended for delivering lighter and lower-value items, e.g. cell phone accessories, apparel accessories, etc.
