It can be as fast as 1 day, or even overnight if a supplier is in the same city as the desired location. The fulfillment is even more impressive than Amazon Prime. This is especially true when the supplier on Alibaba ships the product by using SFExpress, which is famous for the minimum delivery time and the best logistics service in China.

However, for other logistics providers, the time might be longer. However, if it is in the same city, one can receive the product within 2 - 3 days.

Considering China is rather big, the transportation must be taken into account. If a product is shipped by air from South to North, the fulfillment time might still be as short as 2 - 4 days. Take ZTO, Yunda Express, BestEx as examples.

The Express logistics providers have full-fledged networks across China, for example, EMS. Still, if the desired location is in a remote province, it will definitely take longer, probably in a week.

Nevertheless, it’s extremely unlikely that one will receive the product in two weeks or three, which is the case of using the normal China Postal service.
