Shipping from China — Cost, Time & MethodsWe compare Guangdong's top freight forwarders and find the best shipping route for your cargo — air, sea, rail, or courier. Transparent quotes, no hidden fees, real-time tracking.
Choose the right shipping method based on your budget, timeline, and cargo type. Here's a clear breakdown of every option.
Best for: Urgent shipments, high-value goods, cargo under 500kg
Fastest option for international shipping. We work with Guangzhou Baiyun (CAN) and Shenzhen Bao'an (SZX) airports for competitive air freight rates to USA, Europe, Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
Fastest DeliveryBest for: Large shipments, bulk orders, cost-sensitive cargo
Most cost-effective for large orders. We ship from Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Ningbo ports. Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than Container Load (LCL) — we'll recommend the most economical option.
Lowest CostBest for: Samples, small parcels, orders under 100kg
Fastest door-to-door delivery with full tracking. Ideal for samples, prototypes, and small urgent shipments. We have negotiated rates with DHL, FedEx, and UPS for regular shippers.
Door to DoorBest for: Shipments to Europe, faster than sea, cheaper than air
The middle-ground option for Europe-bound cargo. Half the time of sea freight, a fraction of air freight cost. Routes run from Yiwu/Chengdu to major European rail terminals.

Shipping is more than handing cargo to a forwarder. We manage the entire logistics chain so you can focus on selling.
Most importers overpay on shipping. Here's how we prevent that.
Send us product details, weight, dimensions, destination, and preferred delivery date. Photos and a packing list help us give you the most accurate quote.
We contact multiple freight forwarders in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, compare rates, and send you the best options with clear cost breakdowns within 24 hours.
Goods arrive at our warehouse from your suppliers. We consolidate, reinforce packaging, handle export customs, and dispatch the shipment.
We provide real-time tracking updates from departure to arrival. If any issues arise during transit or customs, we handle them immediately.
It depends on shipping method, weight, volume, and destination. Express courier costs $5-15/kg for small parcels. Air freight costs $4-8/kg for 100kg+. Sea freight costs $1,500-4,000 per 20ft container depending on destination and season. Contact us with your shipment details for an exact quote.
Express courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS): 3-7 days. Air freight: 5-10 days. Sea freight FCL: 15-35 days depending on destination. Sea freight LCL: 20-40 days. Rail freight to Europe: 15-20 days. We provide estimated delivery dates for every quote.
Sea freight is always the cheapest for large shipments. A 20ft container from Shenzhen to Los Angeles costs around $1,500-3,000. For parcels under 5kg, ePacket or China Post Ordinary Small Packet is cheapest but slowest (15-40 days). For medium shipments (100-500kg), LCL sea freight or consolidated air freight offers the best value.
Use air freight when shipment is urgent (under 10 days), cargo is high-value but lightweight, or goods are perishable. Use sea freight when shipment is large (over 100kg), cost per unit matters more than speed, and you have 3-5 weeks lead time. Many importers use both — sea for bulk orders, air for urgent restocks.
We handle Chinese export customs declaration, including commodity inspection and certificate of origin. For import customs in your destination country, our shipping partners can arrange DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service which covers everything, or we can guide your customs broker with the correct documentation.
Absolutely — this is one of our most popular services. Goods from different suppliers arrive at our Guangdong warehouse, where we consolidate everything into one shipment. This saves you significantly on shipping costs compared to shipping each order separately. You get 15-20 days free warehouse storage.
