Shipping from Shenzhen, China, varies drastically by method: Express (DHL/FedEx/UPS) takes 1-7 days, Air Freight is 2-15 days, while Sea Freight can range from 14 days to over 40 days, depending heavily on the destination (West Coast US is faster) and whether it's Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than Container Load (LCL). Factors like customs, holidays, and carrier efficiency also significantly impact total time.

Shipping from China became expensive due to COVID-19 disruptions, causing a container shortage as empty boxes got stuck in the West while demand for Chinese goods surged, leading to port congestion and skyrocketing freight rates; plus, increased e-commerce and new tariffs add ongoing costs, though the pandemic's peak effects have somewhat eased, making planning and choosing methods crucial.
