    I want to buy an LED Light from Alibaba as its way cheaper than in Europe.

    3 options for shipping

    Express FedEx IE 4-15 days US$ 24.35 / Piece
    Express TNT 4-18 days US$ 27.34 / Piece
    Express DHL 3-13 days US$ 40.22 / Piece

    Is there a cheaper way ?

    Weight 1.5kg
    Size 20cmx20cmx20cm

    Is there a Chinese Equivalent of AddressPal or something like that

    How many are you buying ? If it is only 1, you might be better looking on Aliexpress

    seller isn't on AliExpress, however I had a quick look at similar products and the shipping is roughly the same price

    1.5kg? Is it a work light or street light?

    You don't mention it but what is the price, but you will also need to add customs, customs is calculated on the price of the item + shipping, on top the customs price you will also need to the carrier fees, it will be from €10 to €15

    Cheaper way is China post, but it'll probably take a month.
