For shipping from China to Amazon warehouses in the US, courier options include renowned international express companies, dedicated logistics providers, and freight forwarders.
International Express:
DHL International Express: They operate their own cargo aircraft, such as direct flights from Hong Kong to Cincinnati, offering fast delivery times, typically within 2-4 days. Documents start at 220 RMB, while packages weighing 0.5 kg are 380 RMB (bulk discounts apply for packages over 21 kg). Orders can be placed online through the official website, with real-time tracking available through the WeChat mini-program.
FedEx: Core routes include daily flights from the Shanghai Pudong to Memphis hub. Electrically powered products can use designated lanes. Rates are based on volumetric weight or actual weight, whichever is greater. Priority service is 1-2 days faster than economy. Register through a FedEx corporate account and apply for shipping discounts if you ship over 100 shipments per month.
UPS International Express: As a major US express delivery company, UPS boasts a well-developed domestic network, with advantages in customs clearance and local delivery. It offers a variety of express delivery options, such as 3-business-day delivery from Shanghai to Los Angeles and 5-business-day delivery from Chicago. Special features include refrigerated shipping boxes (temperature control accuracy ±2°C) and dedicated customs clearance channels for medical supplies.
International Dedicated Line Logistics:
These include international air, sea, rail, and truck/air lines. For details, please contact your international freight forwarder.
Other:
China Post: Its E-mail service, for example, is relatively affordable and suitable for shipping lighter and smaller shipments. However, delivery times are relatively long, typically taking 15-30 business days to reach Amazon FBA warehouses, and package tracking and updates are not as timely and accurate as with international commercial express.
When choosing a courier, sellers should consider factors such as shipping time, freight costs, the nature and weight of the goods, and the destination to select the most suitable courier method.
