Appliances Shipping Cost from Frankfurt to Shanghai

Shipping to China costs vary widely, from around $15 for small, light items via USPS First-Class to $70-$200+ for heavier or faster options like UPS/FedEx Express, depending on weight, size, speed (days vs. weeks), and carrier, with USPS usually cheapest for small parcels and major couriers offering faster but pricier express services. For example, a 1lb package might cost $12-$36, while a 25lb package could range from $120-$240+, with discounts available through various platforms.

Shipping from Germany costs anywhere from a few Euros for small documents (like $3.15+ with USPS) to over €100 for heavier packages, depending heavily on size, weight, destination, speed (standard vs. express), and carrier (DHL, UPS, FedEx, USPS). Expect a small, lightweight package (under 1kg) to start around €7-€10, while larger/heavier items can be €40-€80+ for express to the US, with sea freight being much cheaper for containers.

Ocean freight from Shanghai to the USA takes 15 to 40 days (port-to-port), depending on the type of load (FCL or LCL) and the port of arrival – West Coast is generally faster to reach from China than East Coast ports. Air freight is much faster, with expedited options ranging from 1 to 3 days.
