Appliances Shipping Cost from Ulaanbaatar to Houston, Texas

A 20-foot container from China to the US may cost between $2,000 and $3,500. This cost can vary based on factors like fuel surcharges, port fees, and the type of goods being shipped. Sea freight is best for bulk shipments, especially for goods that are not time-sensitive.

Ocean freight from major Chinese ports to Houston typically takes 31-45 days port-to-port, depending on the origin. If you choose air freight, transit times are usually about 3-8 days, airport-to-airport.

Shipping a 20 lb package costs roughly $20-$40 for ground services (like UPS Ground or USPS Ground Advantage) for shorter distances, but can range from $30 to over $100+ depending on speed (express is much pricier) and distance, with faster options like FedEx/UPS Next Day Air costing significantly more ($100+) and USPS Priority being a mid-range choice. Expect to pay around $30-$40 for ground, while faster services can double or triple that.
