    Hey all

    Can anyone give me a rough estimate of how much it would cost to ship 100 units, each unit has a measurement of 540*205*57mm (long narrow metal box) and weighing about 7kg from Southern China (Major coastal city) to my door in Ireland including taxes etc? And if pick up from the Chinese factory could be included that would be great. It contains a gaming product.

    Any help appreciated. Cheers!

    Back 5ish yr ago when i worked for a freight forwarder....

    It was 1600 euro to get a 40ft container from china to rotterdam and 600 euro to get it to dublin.

    It was pretty much free to send stuff back to china :D.

    You can deal directly with the shipping line but this is only a part load and will need custom clearance etc. so freight forwarders are the way to go.

    If you need a name that specializes in this kind of thing PM me.

    The Cost of a 40 foot container has doubled and is now $4000 from china, 20 foot is like 2300

    Hi,I'm from China,have been importing small stuff to Ireland.If your stuff weigh not more than 10Kg,I recommend you use EMS,probably costs you 150euro sometime,because they always offer discount to native.A couple of weeks ago,I imported 9.5kg of laptop sleeve cases,only cost me 50euro for shipping.

    Hi,I Drink It Up

    I have to say,if you got supplier from Alibaba,you would pay through your nose for your items.When I did a small business in China,I would never use it.
    PM me,if you have any question about sourcing in China,I'd be happy to help.

    Hi,Really-Stressed

    As Coyote said,It's China epress post service.Its agencies always give discount on the original price,like 30% or 40% off,you won't get any discount if you go to post office,that's tricky.
