1. International Airline
With offices and facilities in China and Buffalo being used by the likes of Shein (based in China), one of the most popular services is International airline.
Here, Buffalo states that one aircraft a day leaves China and that delivery time can be anything between 5 and 15 days.
The length of time is generally impacted by the smoothness of the customs clearance process (the contents of the package), and where in South Africa it is being delivered to.
2. International Cargo Ship
Understandably, any international shipment traveling via cargo ship is going to take longer.
Here, the Buffalo website states that delivery time can be anything between 30 and 40 days.
Customs clearance will also factor in, but any item traveling by sea will have a long shipment time.

It isn’t easy to ascertain what is being offered with the Buffalo overseas location option.
The delivery time is fast, however, ranging between 1 and 5 days.
From what I can make out, it is a service for the likes of Shein where they have warehouses in South Africa and are looking to ship items to customers in a speedy fashion.
Buffalo can ensure that expedited delivery takes place throughout its various overseas locations based across South Africa.
4. Domestic Delivery

Essentially, all deliveries are different and there can be factors taking place that will impact the speed of the shipment.
