Hi everyone,
I am currently having a product produced in China. The samples of the product are ready to be shipped, so I am looking at my options for shipping.
I have received quotes from UPS and FedEx at present.
For a 1 Lb box that is 9inx5in they are both charging $100 not including taxes, duties, and fees. Because the product is so light I was told my only option would be to go by air. I then received rates for when I need to ship the actual production pieces over, and I was quoted over $600 for 50 Lb not including duties, fees, and taxes.
What other cheaper options do I have? I have called DHL but you have to go through a registration process.
Thank you for your help!
