What is best way to ship from CHINA to US?
 

A 10lb box. thanks.


EMS? How much is the actual cost?

EMS = cheapest = slowest (7 - 9 days).
DHL = More Expensive = Fastest (4 days tops).

Depends on your personaly experience with specific carrier but stay away from UPS and FEDEX and those are known to be problematic.

It really all depends on where in China your order is Shipping FROM. China is NOT at all like the US, ( I have been there ) In the US there are Post Offices Every Few Miles, I would say that more than 99% of The US can be reached by DHL, UPS, ect, ect. Absolutly NOT the case in China.

It is NOT uncommon for a Supplier to sometimes need 2-3 DAYS to get your order Driven to a City like Shenzen or Hong Kong where it will get Re-Shipped to you in the US or Wherever, (thats why Most Sellers issue 2 Tracking Numbers, a Local One and a International one) the "Factories" that ReProduce 99% of all VERO Products are located in these Outer lying areas, as Far away from law enforcement as Possible. Overall Most Shipments take 6-10 Days.

If you are in the US you could just chose to use China Post.

It will take up to 14 days BUT it will be about half the cost of EMS. Also if the sender puts tracking on it (an extra 7rmb!) you can track it using the USPS website.

Thanks

How many days to take from Ningbo (near Shanghai) to New York ?

how much will it cost for 10lbs box in post office for EMS or regular mail?

Shall the content of package be said "gift"?

Receiving some books and DVDs.

China post with tracking is: 1st 100g = 26rmb, each additional 100g is 15rmb.

Gift? That's a bloody big gift! :)

Your supplier should be able to sort those questions out for you.

Nice one Fizzy! :lol:

Gifts come in all shapes and sizes... :heh:

It is probaly about 60-70 usd for 10lbs box for EMS to usa from china.It take about 7-10 days for the goods arrive in USA.For more details,you might ask your supplier.Because there are some little difference for the different region in china ,there are some little difference for the different suppliers.

It is no problem to mark the package as "Gift".Because the package is small.

Is it a slow boat to China or a slow boat from there?

Never can remember

:pound:

I prefer to take the short bus. :thumb:

At the very least sort soup with wontons

:pound:

I love wontons, I eat it on the bus. I wish they had forks on the bus.

Bus??,,,Man you need some more Ebay Accounts so you can get yourself a Driver

The best way is to collect as much goods as you can and put them together in containers. Try that you need as low containers you can because for every container you will need to pay a fee. The best shipping method from China to US is oversea.

The best? I think you meant to say the EXTREMELY SLOWEST...

Instead of using peanuts to pack your box use fortune cookies...always a good option!!! :noidea:

I been using Hongkong post for my small orders, not bad.
