Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Budapest

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).

Air cargo from Shenzhen, Guangdong to Houston, TX While 90% of everything is shipped by ocean freight, air freight connects the world faster, cutting China - United States freight shipping time from 20-30 days by ocean to only three days by air cargo.

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.
