I found rates from a forwarding company in Finland. I think there must be lots of forwarding companies in US doing Cn - US freight forwarding.

You want to ship only a little stuff or a full container?
There are container ships from Shanghai to Helsinki without stopping, so I would imagine it happens between Cn and US too.

Well I am just looking to ship small things like tea's and other misc stuff back to the US through the regular postal service there in China to the USPS whenever I run out of things like tea's and other misc stuff thats not available here in the US.

Wow you have that much stuff to ship back in a sea can, Carlos?

Hi , if you send small stuff ,I would suggest you can ship them by EMS ,the price is up to different agency , but if you send goods by Post office directly ,that is very expensive , if you send the good by some ageny ,you would get more then 40% discourt of the taff .

Anyhow if you send the goods from Guangzhou ,maybe I can do you a favor ,even for tea's and replica goods ,Should you have more questions ,pls email me hotmail.com|solman2cn

Best regards

I have some plans, Danny, yes. Maybe I´ll report if something really happens, then. May take few years, though, before I´ll need a container, lol.

Here the local Post´s EMS is for urgent stuff delivered in sharp schedule. If that EMS that Sol mentions is alike, then the cost may be quite high.

I shipped quite a bit of stuff from Nanning to Montana using China Post, Danny. The big box cost about 35-40 USD. The downside was that it took more than 2 months to arrive.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the great replies.

Nah, EMS is not really necessary for what I am shipping.

Steve, how large and heavy was the box you sent back to the US?
