Appliances Shipping Cost from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, California

Shipping from Hong Kong to the US costs vary wildly, from under $20 for small documents via USPS Priority Mail International or HK Post to potentially hundreds for express parcels (DHL, FedEx, UPS) in days (starting around $40-$80+) or over $1,000 for large freight (Air/Ocean LCL/FCL), with factors like speed, weight/size (kg/CBM), and chosen carrier ( FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, SeaRates, Easyship ) heavily influencing the price.

Rules of thumbs for lead times (in regular conditions) are 1-2 weeks for regular post, 3 days for air express freight, 8-10 days for air freight, and 30-40 days for ocean freight.

Shipping a 40ft container from China to the USA currently costs roughly $3,000 to $7,000+, with West Coast routes generally cheaper ($3k-$6k) and East Coast routes more expensive ($4k-$7.5k+), depending heavily on market demand, specific ports, surcharges, and peak seasons. Expect to pay more during busy periods and factor in additional costs for customs, insurance, and inland transport, which aren't always included in base rates.
