Q:How much to ship a car from China to the US?
Shipping a car from China to the US costs roughly $2,500 to $6,000+ for ocean freight (RORO or container), but expect significant extra fees like duties (2.5% to 80%), taxes, insurance, and port charges, potentially doubling or tripling the initial freight cost, with air freight starting much higher at $13,000+. Costs depend on the car's size, shipping method (RORO is cheaper), container use, and current fuel/trade conditions, with regulatory compliance for US roads being a major hurdle.
Q:How long does it take to ship from Shanghai to the USA?
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.
Q:Is it expensive to ship from China to the USA?
LCL (Less than Container Load) Costs For smaller shipments, LCL is more cost-effective. Rates are usually calculated by cubic meters, starting around $50–$80 per CBM. However, additional handling fees can make LCL less predictable than FCL.

Q:How much does it cost to ship a piano internationally?
On average, you'll pay between $2,000 to $5,000 for overseas shipping of an upright piano. This price typically includes basic packing, transportation, and standard insurance. However, costs fluctuate significantly based on the specific destination and chosen shipping method.
Q:Is a piano dolly better than hiring movers?
Lifting such a monstrous piece of equipment is back-breaking work, even if you're only lifting it onto a dolly. Many times, confident homeowners attempt to lift a piano and not only damage the instrument but injure themselves. Next time, err on the side of caution: let professionals handle the heavy lifting instead.
Q:How do you transport a piano overseas?
Shipping a Piano Overseas by Sea Freight Sea freight is a more cost-effective option, particularly for larger pianos or commercial shipments. Although it takes longer than air freight, sea freight provides an economical way to move a piano overseas while still ensuring secure transport.
