China has the world\u2019s second largest economy right after the US and a population of 1.3 billion people. If you want to expand your ecommerce business, then China is a valuable market to go after. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Note:<\/strong><\/span> Only USPS offers flat rates to ship from the US to China. All other prices were calculated using the respective carrier\u2019s pricing calculators for a 2 kg package in December 2019. Exact prices are subject to change.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. USPS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to save money on shipping and delivery time isn\u2019t a big priority for your customers, USPS is a great option for shipping. Unlike the other couriers, you will only have to pay a flat rate depending on the <\/span>mail class<\/span><\/a> and package weight. Package dropoff is also convenient as you can drop off packages off at a mailbox or visit a Post Office.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, one major drawback to using USPS for Canadian shipping is that the packages are transferred to China Post once they arrive in China. This means the tracking number provided by the USPS will no longer work. This can add on a few extra delivery days due to customs clearance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
