Appliances Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Port Moresby

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.

Shipping from China varies wildly, from a few dollars for small items via postal service (like USPS Priority Mail Express International from $30+) to $2,000-$6,000+ for full containers (FCL) by sea, while air freight usually costs $3-$8+ per kilogram; prices depend heavily on weight, size, speed (air vs. sea), and chosen carrier ( DHL, FedEx, UPS, EMS, freight forwarders). For small parcels, express couriers are faster but pricier, while standard air freight (150-500kg) or LCL (less than container load) sea freight offer better per-kilo rates for larger shipments.
