How long does shipping furniture from China typically take? Transit times vary by destination and shipping method: USA West Coast: 14-18 days ocean freight. USA East Coast: 21-28 days ocean freight.

Shipping from Guangzhou varies greatly by method: Express Couriers (DHL/FedEx/UPS) take 3-7 days; Air Freight is 3-10 days; while Sea Freight can range from 15-21 days to the West Coast US to over a month to the East Coast, with overall ocean transit often 30-40 days, depending on destination and if it's LCL or FCL.

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.
