Appliances Shipping Cost from Shanghai to New Hampshire

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.

Shipping from China to the USA costs vary wildly, from ~$5-$12/kg for air freight (fast, small/med items) to $1,000-$3,500+ for 20ft ocean containers (slow, bulk), with express couriers even cheaper for tiny parcels; actual prices depend on speed (air vs. sea), weight/volume, destination, and current demand, with sea freight being cheapest for large volumes.

Shipping from China to the USA with USPS varies greatly, from 1-3 days (Express) to 6-10+ days (Priority Mail), but slower options like China Post can take 2-4 weeks, while cheapest surface mail can be 4-8 weeks or more, with major delays often at customs and carrier handoffs. Faster methods (EMS, e-EMS) take about 5-12 days, but cost more.
