Shipping Cost from Chengdu to Busan

How long does it take to ship goods from China to South Korea? Transit times depend on the shipping method. Sea Freight (FCL) typically takes 3-5 days, while Sea Freight (LCL) takes 5-7 days. Air Freight usually takes 1-3 days, and Express Shipping is the fastest at 1-2 days.

Shipping from China varies wildly, from cheap small parcels via postal service to expensive air freight or container shipping, with costs depending heavily on weight, size, speed (air is faster/pricier, sea is slower/cheaper), and current market rates, but expect to pay roughly $5-$12/kg for small air shipments (DHL, UPS) and $50-$80/CBM for LCL sea freight, while full containers (FCL) range in thousands of dollars.

Shipping furniture from China by sea is the most common and cost-effective method, especially for larger volumes and heavier items. In terms of sea freight, there are two main options: Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL).
