At Hi3DP, we know that shipping costs can make or break a project, especially for smaller, lighter 3D print orders. That’s why we are introducing Economy, our newest delivery option designed to give you the lowest shipping rate we currently offer without compromising on service quality and reliability.

Whether you are a hobbyist ordering a single prototype or a professional sending out test parts, this is the smart way to save on delivery.

Choose Economy if you:

• Want the lowest possible shipping cost

• Are shipping small, lightweight, lower‑value prints

• Can allow 8–13 business days for delivery

If you need faster delivery, greater insurance coverage, or are shipping high‑value items, consider our Priority Plus or Hassle‑Free options (Hassle‑Free is available to U.S. customers only).

Our New Shipping Solution: Economy

Economy is a Carriage Paid To (CPT) shipping service. That means Hi3DP covers the freight cost to your destination country, and our trusted last‑mile partners, including USPS, PCF, ONTRAC, T FORCE, and UDS, handle the final delivery to your door.

It’s designed for cost‑conscious orders that don’t require express speed, giving you a dependable, budget‑friendly way to receive your 3D prints worldwide.

How Much You’ll Pay and How Fast It Arrives

• Starting Price: From just $3.12, which is the most affordable rate among all our courier partners.

• Delivery Time: Typically, 8–13 business days from dispatch.

• Special Note: For destinations with fewer flights and lower shipping volumes (such as Nigeria), dispatch may take longer, and delivery could exceed 13 business days.

Economy is ideal for orders where cost savings matter more than speed.

How We Calculate Shipping Costs

Your shipping cost is based on the larger of two values:

• Gross Weight: the actual weight of your package.

• Volumetric Weight: the space your package occupies, calculated using industry‑standard formulas.

If the actual weight differs from the estimate, the shipping cost may be adjusted accordingly.

Example: A lightweight but bulky model may be charged by volume rather than weight.

Restrictions and Requirements You Need to Know

To qualify for Economy, your order must meet all of the following:

• Weight: Less than 2kg

• Value: $59.99 or less

• Package Box Size: Maximum 55*40*35cm

• Printed Part Size: Maximum 50*35*30cm

• Contact Information: Must be accurate to avoid redelivery fees

These limits help us keep costs low and ensure smooth customs clearance.

Risk and How We Help Protect Your Order

While we work with trusted carriers, it’s important to be transparent:

• Complaint Rate: 15%, includes delays, loss, or damage.

• Risk Factors: Longer transit times, multiple hand‑offs between carriers.

• Our Commitment: If an issue occurs, our support team will guide you through the claims process and help find a resolution.

We also recommend choosing a delivery address where someone is available to receive the package, and keeping an eye on tracking updates to avoid missed deliveries.
