Appliances Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Baku

While 90% of everything is shipped by ocean freight, air freight connects the world faster, cutting China - United States freight shipping time from 20-30 days by ocean to only three days by air cargo.

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.

To get cheap shipping from China, use sea freight for bulk, air freight for medium loads, and express couriers for small items, leverage digital freight forwarders for better rates, consolidate shipments, work with suppliers to minimize packaging, and utilize platforms like Alibaba for quotes. For small e-commerce orders, platforms often offer surprisingly low, flat-rate options (like Aliexpress Standard) that are economical but slower.
