Furniture Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to El Paso, Texas

Shipping from Shenzhen to the USA takes days by air (1-7 days) and weeks by sea (15-40+ days), depending heavily on method, destination (West Coast faster), port congestion, customs, and if it's FCL/LCL, with air freight being fastest (1-3 days express) and sea freight 2-4 weeks to West Coast, 3-5+ weeks to East Coast for standard ocean freight.

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.

The cheapest shipping from China to the US depends on weight and speed: Sea Freight (LCL/FCL) is cheapest for heavy/bulk (50kg+), taking weeks; Air Freight (3-10 days) is best for medium/heavy (150kg+) at ~$3-8/kg; while for small parcels (<2kg), specialized postal/e-packet services (like China Post, YunExpress) are cheapest but slow (7-14+ days). For mid-range items (2-20kg), express couriers (DHL/UPS/FedEx) cost more but offer speed, so compare forwarder rates.
