reship china

If you’re looking to reship items from China (i.e., forward parcels to another location), there are several ways to do this, depending on your needs. Reshipping typically involves receiving goods from China and then forwarding them to another address, which is often done by freight forwarding companies or parcel forwarding services. Below are a few methods for reshipping goods from China:

1. China-Based Freight Forwarders

These companies specialize in handling shipments from China to various destinations around the world. They can help you with all the logistics, including customs clearance, delivery, and package forwarding. Some common China-based freight forwarders include:

  • CFC (China Freight Forwarding): Offers international shipping services from China to all global destinations, with flexible options for air and sea freight.
  • Sino Shipping: Provides door-to-door services for reshipping from China to countries like the U.S., Europe, and more.
  • Ship7: Specializes in helping buyers in China reship goods, providing forwarding from China to various international destinations.

These companies can handle both small parcels and bulk shipments, offering tracking, competitive rates, and fast delivery options.

2. Parcel Forwarding Services

If you don’t have a warehouse in China but need to reship goods, you can use a parcel forwarding service. These services offer an address in China where you can ship your products, and then they will forward them to your desired international address.

  • MyUS: A popular international forwarding service that allows you to get an address in China and forward your packages to anywhere in the world. MyUS provides competitive rates, international tracking, and consolidates your shipments to reduce costs.
  • Stackry: A forwarding service that offers China-based addresses, and helps reship products to destinations globally. They also offer package consolidation to save on shipping fees.
  • Shipito: Offers forwarding services with an address in China, allowing you to receive packages and forward them to any country. They also provide customs assistance.

These services are especially useful for online shoppers or e-commerce businesses looking to source products from China and send them to their home country.

3. Direct Reshipping via Online Platforms (e.g., AliExpress, Taobao)

For individuals looking to reship items bought on Chinese e-commerce platforms (like AliExpress, Taobao, or 1688), there are reshipping options built into these platforms:

  • AliExpress offers direct international shipping to many countries. In case you need to ship to an address other than your own, you can either forward the parcel to another address manually, or you can use a parcel forwarding service (like Ship7 or MyUS).
  • Taobao sellers may offer domestic shipping to your address within China, and you can then use a third-party service to reship it internationally.

4. Air Freight and Sea Freight for Bulk Reshipping

For businesses or individuals shipping large quantities of goods from China, air freight or sea freight might be suitable options. Freight forwarding companies usually offer these options:

  • Air Freight: Faster and more expensive, good for smaller shipments that need to arrive quickly.
  • Sea Freight: Slower but much more affordable, suitable for large shipments like bulk goods, furniture, or industrial items.

Many freight forwarders (such as Sino Shipping or CFC mentioned above) provide door-to-door services, meaning they’ll pick up your goods in China, handle the necessary paperwork, and arrange for delivery to the final address in your country.

5. Consolidation Services

If you want to save money on shipping costs, some reshipping companies offer package consolidation. This means they will combine multiple smaller shipments into a single, larger shipment, reducing the overall shipping fee.

  • Services like Shipito, MyUS, and Stackry offer consolidation for individuals who purchase from multiple sellers or stores in China.
  • This service is very beneficial when you’re purchasing items from different suppliers, as it can significantly cut down on the overall shipping cost.

Key Considerations When Reshipping from China

  1. Shipping Costs: Be aware that international reshipping can be expensive, especially for smaller packages, so always compare shipping rates.
  2. Customs: International shipments may be subject to customs duties and taxes. Be prepared to pay these fees when the goods arrive in your country.
  3. Tracking: Always ensure the reshipping service you choose provides tracking for your package. This will allow you to monitor the progress of your shipment.
  4. Packaging: Ensure your goods are well-packaged for the reshipping process to prevent damage during transit.

Conclusion

To reship from China, the best solution depends on your needs:

  • For small parcels, parcel forwarding services like MyUS or Ship7 are a good choice.
  • For larger shipments, a freight forwarding company such as Sino Shipping or ShipHub may be more appropriate.
  • For e-commerce reshipping, consolidation services can help save on shipping costs, especially if you’re buying from multiple sellers.
