e-packet lite vs EMS

 What is the difference between the e-packet lite and EMS besides the price?

First, e-packet lite takes a few weeks. EMS arrives much faster from four days to 12 days. 

 

Second, e-packet lite is for parcels that have a total dimension of 90 cm or less. It also has to weigh  up to 2kg only.

EMS accepts packages up to 30kg. The size varies depending  on the country.

 

Third, e-packet lite  does not have any insurance. In the cases of shipping accidents, you get nothing.

EMS will compensate up to the amount declared.

 

Both e-packet lite lite and EMS have tracking.
