Our services

International express shipping services

Everything APL Shippers arranges is international and express. Below is what we can support — and, just as importantly, what we do not currently offer.

International Express Shipping

Fast international parcel delivery using established global courier networks.

International express shipping is what we do. Your shipment details are matched to express services operated by established global courier networks, so a parcel leaving a home, an office or a supplier can reach its destination country on an express service rather than a slow economy route.

Every quote is prepared from the details you provide: where the shipment is collected, where it is going, how many pieces there are, and the dimensions and weight of each one.

  • Door-to-door international express services
  • Single parcels and multi-piece shipments
  • Documents, samples, ecommerce orders and business stock
  • Collection arranged from a residential or business address

Courier Rate Comparison

Compare suitable express shipping options based on the collection location, destination, dimensions and weight.

Rather than checking several courier websites one at a time, you submit your shipment once. We review the express options that are suitable for that route and shipment profile and come back to you with what is available.

Because international pricing depends on volumetric weight as well as actual weight, accurate dimensions make a real difference to the options we can put in front of you.

  • One set of shipment details, multiple courier options
  • Actual and volumetric weight both taken into account
  • Service levels explained in plain language
  • No obligation to book

China Export Shipping

International express shipping support for parcels collected from suppliers and businesses in China.

If your goods are made or stored in China, we can support the export leg on an international express service. Collections can be arranged directly from a supplier, a warehouse or a consolidation address.

Give us the supplier address, the piece count and the carton dimensions and we will review the express options available for that route.

  • Collection from supplier and warehouse addresses
  • Carton-level dimensions and weights supported
  • Export documentation requirements explained before booking
  • Suitable for ecommerce sellers and importers

Amazon FBA Deliveries

Shipping support for eligible international deliveries to Amazon fulfilment centres.

Deliveries into Amazon fulfilment centres have their own labelling, booking and packaging requirements. We can support eligible international express deliveries to fulfilment centres where the shipment meets both the carrier and the fulfilment centre requirements.

Please include your shipment ID, carton count and carton dimensions in the quote form so the requirements can be checked properly.

  • Eligible international deliveries to fulfilment centres
  • Carton-level detail captured at quote stage
  • Requirements confirmed before anything is booked
  • Suitable for private-label and wholesale sellers

DDP Shipping

Duty-paid shipping options may be available for qualifying destinations and shipments.

On a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service the sender, rather than the receiver, is responsible for import duties and taxes. This can make a shipment much simpler for the person at the other end.

DDP is not available on every route, for every commodity or for every service level. If you would like it, tick the DDP option in the quote form and we will confirm whether it can be offered for your shipment.

  • Availability confirmed per route and per shipment
  • Requested directly in the quote form
  • Duty and tax treatment explained before booking
  • Useful for ecommerce deliveries to end customers

Business Shipping

Regular international shipping support for ecommerce sellers, importers and businesses.

If you ship internationally every week, you should not have to start from scratch every time. Send us your regular routes and typical carton sizes and we will keep the process consistent for repeat shipments.

Everything still runs through the same quote process, so you always see the options before anything is booked.

  • Repeat and multi-piece shipments
  • Ecommerce sellers, importers and wholesalers
  • Consistent process for regular routes
  • One point of contact for your enquiries

What we do not currently offer

APL Shippers does not provide domestic shipping, sea freight or ocean freight. Delivery times, customs clearance times and final duties depend on the courier, the route and the destination country, so none of these are guaranteed at quote stage.

The process

How it works

Four steps from “how much would this cost?” to a shipment on its way.

Enter your shipment details

Tell us where the shipment is collected from, where it is going, and the size and weight of each package. It takes a couple of minutes.

We compare suitable courier options

Your shipment is reviewed against the express services available for that route, taking both actual and volumetric weight into account.

You receive your available shipping quote

We respond using the contact details you provided, with the options that are available for your shipment and what each one includes.

Your shipment is collected and delivered

Once you are happy to proceed, collection is arranged and your shipment travels on an international express service with tracking.
