Appliances Shipping Cost from Chengdu to Port Moresby

Shipping from China varies wildly, from a few dollars for small items via postal service (like USPS Priority Mail Express International from $30+) to $2,000-$6,000+ for full containers (FCL) by sea, while air freight usually costs $3-$8+ per kilogram; prices depend heavily on weight, size, speed (air vs. sea), and chosen carrier ( DHL, FedEx, UPS, EMS, freight forwarders). For small parcels, express couriers are faster but pricier, while standard air freight (150-500kg) or LCL (less than container load) sea freight offer better per-kilo rates for larger shipments.

Express shipping continues at $5–$10 per kg, with standard post around $10–$20 per kg. Delivery Times (September 2025): Sea freight to Lagos (Apapa/Tincan) remains at 48–52 days, with improved vessel scheduling compared to summer peaks. Air freight still averages 6–8 days, while express parcels reach Lagos in 3–5 days.

Sea freight is cheapest for bulk goods; E-packet suits small items under 2kg with flexible deadlines. Use fulfillment 3PL, freight forwarders, and consolidated shipments to cut costs and avoid delays.
