When you need a fast, economical, and reliable solution to move your goods from China to the USA, it's time to rely on us - ABL Logistics - to efficiently deliver them. We offer quick air freight solutions.
Full Container Load (FCL) transport usually provides faster and more stable transportation services because the entire loading and unloading process only needs to deal with the same shipper, avoiding delays and losses that may be caused by unpacking, sorting, and coordination. It only takes 11 days to ship from Shanghai, China to the Port of Long Beach, Los Angeles, USA
Shipping through ABL LOGISTICS involves consolidating goods from multiple different shippers into a single container for transportation, in order to achieve cost savings. This approach provides reasonable shipping prices and there are no hidden fees at the destination port. It is particularly suitable for transporting small to medium-sized cargo.
The shipping time to the USA can vary depending on several factors, including the chosen shipping method and destination points. When using ABL Logistics for standard air freight to the United States, the delivery time typically ranges from 1 to 5 business days. For LCL sea shipments, the transit time can be expected to be around 25 to 40 days, while FCL shipments generally take between 12 to 30 days for delivery.
Transportation Methods and Transit Times from China to the USA
Various transportation methods are available for shipping goods from China to the USA, each offering its own advantages in terms of speed and convenience. Air to Airport services provide a rapid delivery option, with goods arriving at the airport within 1 to 3 days. For slightly longer but convenient and expedited shipping, Express to Door services take around 2 to 5 days to deliver your goods directly to your doorstep.
If you opt for Sea to Port shipping, it takes approximately 2 weeks for your goods to reach the destination port in the USA. For the most cost-effective sea transport while still ensuring relatively swift delivery, Sea to Door services typically take around 20 to 50 days to bring your cargo right to your door. The choice of transportation method depends on your specific needs, budget, and the urgency of your shipment.

Sending a loader from Hong Kong, China to the port of Los Angeles, United States.
I am a purchaser from the United States and needed to transport three loaders from Hong Kong, China to the port of Los Angeles. Each machine weighed 15 tons and had dimensions of 8700mm x 3700mm x 3100mm. The transportation was successfully carried out using three 40-foot flat rack containers. Their professionalism and efficient work experience surprised me, and I have successfully received the goods. Thank you!
