FAQ
Common questions about shipping from China
How long does shipping from China take?
It depends on the mode. China–Europe rail takes 15–18 days door-to-door, air freight to the US, Europe and the Middle East 3–7 days, express parcels worldwide 3–7 days, and ocean freight to major hubs 22–35 days.
How much does freight forwarding from China cost?
Freight costs depend on the cargo, the route and the mode, so we quote each shipment individually — freight, customs and last-mile included, with no surprises later. Request a quote and we usually reply within one working day.
Can you ship branded goods, batteries or liquids?
Yes. Our express channel ships branded goods, batteries, liquids and cosmetics that many couriers turn away. Hazardous materials and prohibited items cannot be shipped — tell us what you are moving and we will confirm the right channel.
Do I need my own supplier in China?
No. With our 1688 sourcing service we quote the goods, pay the factory, inspect at our Shenzhen warehouse, consolidate purchases from multiple suppliers into one shipment and deliver to your door. If you already have a supplier, we simply collect from them.
