PSWPower / China shipping options?

[e_kid]

I'm in the process of purchasing a motor controller kit from online shop PSWPower, however I'm unsure about which of the four different delivery options to choose from for the UK, which are as follows:

CNEUB, 27.35$US, 6-15 Work day(s)

HongKong Post Air Mail, 50.09$US, 10-30 Work day(s)

HongKong UPS, 36.92$US, 3-5 Work day(s)

TNT, 25.82$US, 3-5 Work day(s)

I was going to go with the first option, but thought it would be a good idea to check with the good people of the Pedelecs forum, as I know that quite PSWPower is fairly popular on this site. Why would the supplier provide the customer with so many options? How do they differ from the customers point of view? TNT seems like the obvious choise. Thanks.

I've bought three 20A sine wave controllers from PSWpower. I always picked the cheapest shipping to the USA. Shipping was less than a week after they sent it.

When they were elifebike on ebay, shipping was free. I have a battery from 2015 that is still putting out good power. Also a little 10A controller that worked OK, but was too small at 10A.

However, one of those sinewave controllers never worked well, and as I only had $22 into it, I never bothered to complain.

Thanks harrys. Do you remember which company you used? Did you ever have to pay any additional costs afterwards?

I use China post which is the default postage on Aliexpress where I use the PSWP shop, that way you get the back up from Aliexp as well.

+1 for using the PSWP shop on Aliexpress, China post usually takes around 2 weeks, never paid any customs/VAT fees.

By the way, for me, if I remember right, the cheapest to USA was DHL, usually mucg less than China Post. The latter service, which I get on ebay stuff from China is usually 4 weeks or more.
