Shipping from China to the USA costs vary wildly, from under $10 for tiny items via postal service to thousands for containers, with common methods like Air Freight around $5-8/kg, Express Couriers $8-12/kg, and Ocean Freight $2,000-$6,000+ per container, depending heavily on weight, size, speed needed, and the specific ports used.

The "best" shipping company from China to the USA depends on your needs (speed vs. cost), with DHL, FedEx, and UPS dominating fast, reliable express shipping for small items (3-7 days). For larger, cost-sensitive cargo, ocean freight forwarders (using carriers like MSC, Cosco) combined with domestic delivery (FedEx/UPS) are better, taking weeks but saving money, while companies like ZGGSHIP or Coshipper offer specialized freight forwarding for bulk/FBA shipments.
