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.

Major carriers like DHL, FedEx, UPS, and USPS handle packages from China to the US, with options ranging from fast/expensive express (DHL, FedEx, UPS) to more budget-friendly consolidators like YunExpress / SF Express for smaller e-commerce goods, and freight forwarders for larger/bulk shipments. The best choice depends on speed, cost, and shipment size, with express being quickest (days) and postal/freight options taking longer (weeks).

In this case, the ships will go in a southern direction from China, and sail via the Indian Ocean and the Cape of Good Hope. Consequently, the ships can set direction to Western Europe, the East Coast of the U.S., the Suez Canal, the Gulf and the Mediterranean area.
