  1. I've thought about using this, but it's more expensive, and if you plan ahead, it doesn't really matter if your goods arrive in 2 weeks or 6 weeks, unless it's 'fast fashion' goods. Besides, the 2 weeks is from/to the terminus somewhere in Germany and in Hangzhou (or YiWu or LianYunGang). Then it has to go on another train or truck from/to the final destination. Ship is more convenient for me.

  4. I think it goes through the Baltics, not Ukraine.

  5.  @realmaniac  And more expensive than by sea. I prefer shipping by sea, as do almost everybody else.

  6.  @sko1beer  Fortunately, that's a very rare occurrence, not really worth worrying about.
