If you want to know how long it will take shipping from China to the USA, you should see what sea channel you take and which route you take. The time of departure and destination is also very different.
Differences between FBA shipping and traditional shipping
The time it takes to the transport amazon FBA is also different from that of a traditional international voyage. For example, the traditional international voyage refers to the sea voyage time from the departure point to the destination port, while the limitation of Amazon FBA shipping refers to the time after the departure of the ship until the warehousing of the American FBA.
Shipping process from China to the USA
First of all, we need to understand the process of FBA shipping from China to the USA: cargo collection – customs declaration – loading – shipping – shipping – arrival at the port – customs clearance – container picking – sorting – delivery – warehousing.
The destination port of FBA shipping from China to the United States may be different, resulting in different timelines.
- West US ports: Los Angeles, Long Beach, Long Beach, Oakl Oakland, San Francisco, San Francisco, Seattle, Tacoma.
- East Ports: Portland, New York, Norfolk, Savannah, Charleston, Baltimore, Houston, Wilmington, New Orleans, Miami, Jacksonville.
When I talk about shipping from China to the United States, I will divide it into several cases. If it is to the West Coast of the United States, it will take about 16 to 20 days by ordinary ship. Because the company is not the same, the price is not the same, the time will be longer or shorter.
If it goes to the east coast of the United States, the ship will go through the Pacific, through the Panama Canal, and then to the East Coast in about 25 to 28 days. You can also send the cargo to the west coast, and then transport it to the east coast using transportation in the interior of the United States. It takes about 21–23 days, which is more expensive than sea shipping.
If shipping from Shenzhen, China to the United States by sea, the EMC ship will depart from Yantian, Shenzhen, and arrive at Los Angeles in 13-15 days (here refers to the sea voyage time, from the departure time to the arrival time).
ZIM shipping costs 9-10 days after the ship arrived at the Port of Los Angeles; Matson shipping will depart from Shanghai port and arrive at Long Beach port 8-10 days later.
Shipping mode: shipping + express, shipping + truck
Amazon FBA shipping provides two modes: shipping + express delivery. After customs clearance at the destination port, the container will be delivered to the Amazon FBA warehouse by express delivery. In this mode, warehousing can be carried out without reservation.
There is also shipping+ truck. After customs clearance at the destination port, the goods will be picked up, disassembled, sorted, and then sent to the Amazon FBA warehouse by truck. Truck delivery requires an appointment with the Amazon warehouse.
If the ship is shipped to The US and China, for example, the FTW1 warehouse is taken as an example. The EMC Evergreen ship is detailed in Dallas, and it takes about 28-35 days from the ship to the warehouse. The transportation time of Matson Clipper and ZIM clipper is the same, about 18-20 days, the genera lship can also quickly arrive at FTW1, can be about 18-23 days into the warehouse, of course, the price is more expensive than usual shipping but cheaper than Matson Clipper and ZIM clipper. It takes about 36-40 days to ship from China to the Eastern United States.
In general, Matson Clipper and ZIM clipper are the fastest and have the highest price; “On time” time of the price is also much more affordable, and less than the compensation, is very cost-effective; FBA line direct cost performance is also very good for the whole cabinet big sellers, EMC disassembling is the cheapest and most suitable for the larger quantity ratio, the time requirement is not so high.
