Options to get stuff shipped from China...Lets discuss

Rezep said:
30 usd is quite high. Most of the freight forwarders I've used charge between 1300-1450/kg ddp. There are a few cheaper ones where I've seen prices of 950 or 750/kg ddp but they charge based on volumetric weight (which is too much for stuff that cannot be vacuum sealed or packed)

Custom clearance will be done by Fedex/UPS and they will charge clearing fees + actual customs (on invoice value). Ofcourse don't undervalue so much that prompts the custom officer to open your package. Make it sort of believable.

You will find such people on alibaba too. Dedicated shippers. But most offer DDU (delivery duty unpaid) so customs becomes your responsibility.
It may be wise decision to try a small lo value order to test waters.

Any recent experience with Sunsky ? Do they manage customs on on buyer's behalf ? How is the customer service ? Time to doorstep ?

sunsky packages used to sent via yanwen and had no custom via delhivery, now it seems epacket /speedpost. i recently got package via epacket/yanwen/speepost (3labels in one package) with no custom. it was a $6 package

hi, i checked sunsky, it has yanwen back. It took around 2weeks from sunsky. however with alibaba shipment via yanwen took 3weeks. i don't know how they handle packages via speedpost and then also via third party. i think sunsky use third party courier while alibaba standard shipping uses yanwen/speedpost/

i checked sunsky order and was around $9, $18, $24 (3 orders) no modification on invoice.
alibaba package was $12 which included the shipping. i asked the seller to ship using the product value without shipping cost.
