China shipping calculator
Choose the country, then enter the weight and the box size. You see each service that fits, with its days and its price in US dollars.
1. The weight the carrier charges for
A courier compares two weights and charges for the greater one. The first is the actual weight on the scale. The second is the volume weight: length times width times height in centimetres, divided by 5000. A light, large carton costs more than its weight suggests, so pack the goods tight.
The express shipping guide shows how to lower the volume weight.
2. The service
Each service has its own rate, its own time and its own weight range.
| Service | Typical time | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Express shipping | 2 to 5 working days | 0.5 to 500 kg |
| Special lines | 7 to 12 days | From 0.5 kg |
| Postal packets | 10 to 20 days | 0.1 to 2 kg |
| Air freight | 5 to 10 days | 21 kg |
| Sea freight | From 1 cubic metre, weekly | 20GP 28 CBM, 40GP 58 CBM, 40HQ 68 CBM |
3. The country
Carriers group countries into zones, and each zone has its own rate. A remote postcode can add a surcharge. See how shipping zones work, or open the page for your country.
