Appliances Shipping Cost from Vienna to Shanghai

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.

Sea Freight: 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.

Shipping from Europe to the US varies widely, from 1-3 days for express air freight to 2-4 weeks (or more) for standard/economy services, with ocean freight taking around 13-14 days for the sea leg plus processing, depending heavily on the speed chosen, carrier (DHL, FedEx, UPS, USPS), customs, and package size. Express services are fast but costly; economy options take longer but save money, with customs clearance being a key variable.
