Appliances Shipping Cost from Guangzhou to Port Moresby

Shipping from Guangzhou varies greatly by method: Express Couriers (DHL/FedEx/UPS) take 3-7 days; Air Freight is 3-10 days; while Sea Freight can range from 15-21 days to the West Coast US to over a month to the East Coast, with overall ocean transit often 30-40 days, depending on destination and if it's LCL or FCL.

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.

The cheapest way to ship from China depends on weight and speed needs: Sea Freight is cheapest for bulk/heavy goods (weeks/months), Air Freight (via consolidators/3PLs like Beeping, Freightos) is best for medium weight (days/weeks), while Postal Services (USPS, China Post) or specialized couriers (Yunexpress, HK Post) are best for light parcels (under 2kg), offering ePacket/e-Express for budget-friendly, albeit slower, delivery (weeks). Using freight forwarders or consolidation services is key to unlocking volume discounts for better rates.
