TIL AliExpress standard shipping is the worst and slowest option to use.

My order was sent through http://global.cainiao.com/ ; check it out: LP00065621480514 ; that company sent my order to malaysia for shipping, and sent it through the lowest priority possible. The product was in china mainland i think.
From that site i was able to get the real international tracking number, which is RQ068256959MY.
I've purchased a pen, yes, a simple PEN, in 20/02(day/month). I know that brazil post is really bad, but after 3 months{yes, sadly i'm used to wait 2~3 months to get a aliexpress package(any company post[hk/cn/etc] to my home)}, i've contacted brazilpost and the estimate delivery date is 05/07(day/month). They said that the postage that starts with R is the slowest of all available postages.
Yes, i know it was free, but for some reason when i purchased that pen, ASS was the only shipping available(the others were DHL/UPS) (yeah, ASS lol.)

How does shipping from TaoBao shops work?
So the shipping options TaoBao usually shows include:
- 快递
- EMS
- 国际转运
What are the differences between each one? I'm assuming the 3rd one is international shipping since it's calculated in kg, but can I use the first two to ship to HK?
And can someone explain what consolidators are? From what I've read, it's a way of getting multiple goods to ship to one mainland Chinese address, and then shipping it to HK in one go to save the shipping cost of crossing the border. Am I right? How do I use them?
Thanks in advance for any help I can get!
