We reply with a fixed all-in price, usually within a few hours on a business day.
Estimates are based on our current forwarder rate sheet and cover the 48 contiguous states (no PO boxes, military addresses, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Guam or Alaska). Chargeable weight is the greater of actual and volumetric weight (L×W×H cm ÷ 6000). Ocean shipments have a 21 kg minimum per shipment and 12 kg minimum billable per carton. Rates move with fuel, season and exchange rates, so the final price is confirmed per shipment.
Most people who use this calculator have already bought in China, or are about to: on 1688, on Alibaba, or straight from a factory they found themselves. You do not need to buy through us to ship with us.
Your suppliers send the cargo to our consolidation warehouse. We receive it, check the cartons against what you ordered, combine everything into a single shipment and deliver it duty-paid to your address or to Amazon FBA. One freight bill instead of five, and the combined weight usually drops you into a cheaper rate bracket than any single supplier's box would have earned.
If you would rather not hunt for the factory yourself, that part is our sourcing service — we find and vet the manufacturer, then the same freight applies.
Freight is charged on chargeable weight — whichever is greater, the actual weight or the space the cargo occupies. Volumetric weight is length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6000, which makes one cubic metre bill as roughly 167 kg.
| Cargo | Actual | Volumetric | You pay for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand tools, 40×30×30 cm | 18 kg | 6 kg | 18 kg — weight wins |
| Kitchenware, 60×40×40 cm | 15 kg | 16 kg | 16 kg — almost even |
| Cushions, 60×50×50 cm | 7 kg | 25 kg | 25 kg — space wins |
Practical consequence: if your supplier packs loosely, you are paying to ship air. Asking for tighter cartons before production ends is the cheapest freight saving there is — and something we check when cargo arrives at our warehouse.
Three ways across the Pacific. They differ in speed, in what they will carry, and in how small a shipment they will take.
≈ 27–33 days from sailing
Duty-paid door-to-door ocean consolidation on the fast vessel. The workhorse for Amazon FBA restocks.
≈ 34–35 days from sailing
The same door-to-door service on the standard vessel — cheapest per kilogram when you can plan ahead.
≈ 20–21 days from sailing
Fast customs clearance, with fuel, duty and residential delivery already inside the rate. Takes categories the general cargo line refuses — food, cosmetics and personal-use goods (no fatty foods).
Prices are duty-paid to the door. The rate steps down once your chargeable weight passes 100 kg — that step is why the calculator sometimes suggests topping the shipment up.
| US destination | Fast vessel ≈ 27–33 days from sailing | Standard vessel ≈ 34–35 days from sailing |
|---|---|---|
| West — ZIP 8–9 (CA, WA, AZ…) | $2.40 – $3.55 | $2.26 – $3.24 |
| Central — ZIP 4–7 (TX, IL, CO…) | $2.68 – $3.72 | $2.54 – $3.39 |
| East — ZIP 0–3 (NY, FL, GA…) | $2.96 – $3.89 | $2.82 – $3.55 |
Lower figure applies from 100 kg of chargeable weight, higher one below it.
| US destination | Small parcels | From 101 kg |
|---|---|---|
| West — ZIP 8–9 (CA, WA, AZ…) | $20 for the first 2 kg | $3.10 /kg |
| Central — ZIP 4–7 (TX, IL, CO…) | quoted by hand | $3.24 /kg |
| East — ZIP 0–3 (NY, FL, GA…) | quoted by hand | $3.55 /kg |
Indicative USD figures for planning. The final price is confirmed per shipment: ocean rates, the monthly fuel surcharge and the exchange rate all move, and duty depends on your HS code.
The ocean rate card has a step, not a slope: below 100 kg of chargeable weight you pay the small-shipment rate, from 100 kg you drop onto a noticeably cheaper one. It is entirely possible for 99 kg to cost more than 100 kg.
The calculator watches for this and tells you when topping the shipment up is cheaper than sending it as it stands. If you are close to the line, adding one more carton from another supplier usually pays for itself.
Counterfeit or unauthorised branded goods, pure batteries, liquids, powders, tobacco and vapes, strong magnets, knives and weapons, adult goods, seeds and poisons. Food, cosmetics, medical and baby products are refused by the general cargo line but accepted on express consolidation.
Products with built-in batteries are handled case by case — send us a photo before you place the order, not after the cargo reaches the warehouse.
Send us the estimate with a photo of your goods and we come back with a fixed, all-in price — usually within a few hours on a business day.
