Every guide on the Litbuy shipping coupon tells you to use one. Almost none tell you when. This decision tree answers the when question with three questions.
Question 1: Is your parcel in the sweet spot?
Coupons deliver peak percentage savings between 1.2 kg and 3 kg. If your parcel is under 1 kg or over 3 kg, coupon impact is smaller.
- Under 1 kg — small savings. Consider holding to consolidate more.
- 1.2–3 kg — peak coupon leverage. Ship now.
- Over 3 kg — smaller percentage but still worthwhile.
Question 2: Is the current coupon expiring soon?
If the current coupon expires within 7 days and you have parcel weight — ship now.
- Expires within 7 days + weight ready — ship.
- Expires within 7 days + weight not ready — you may have to skip this cycle.
- Weeks left — no urgency; hold for weight if needed.

Question 3: What is the seasonal context?
Chinese New Year backlog, off-peak holiday shipping, end-of-quarter carrier squeezes — these change base freight even before the coupon applies.
- Approaching CNY — ship before the freeze.
- April or October — off-peak, best delivery times.
- Peak holidays — expect longer transit.
The decision table
Combining all three:
- Sweet spot weight + expiring coupon + off-peak season — ship immediately.
- Sweet spot weight + fresh coupon + normal season — ship if warehouse feels full.
- Under-weight + fresh coupon — hold and consolidate.
- Any weight + no coupon at all — hold a week and wait for the next code.
