What is Amazon FBA first-mile US sea freight?

Currently, there are three types of sea freight services: Meisen Express, Yixing Express, and Evergreen Express (Yantian EMC scheduled cross-border e-commerce sea freight route). 


Yantian EMC scheduled route is similar to Meisen and Yixing Express in terms of stability, but it also offers slower shipping options (referred to as slow boats). It is important to differentiate between the HTW and TPS routes, as they are the scheduled express options. 


Meisen Express Sea Freight with Tax Included:

For those who choose Meisen Express, the logistics are based in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, or Shanghai. The ship departs from Shanghai and goes directly to Long Beach, USA. Meisen Express claims to be the fastest shipping option from China to the USA, with an estimated arrival time of 8-10 working days after departure. They have their own independent port, ensuring smooth customs clearance, and containers can be delivered the next day. UPS or FedEx will then deliver the goods to the designated FBA warehouse. Meisen Express is well-known for its fast delivery.


Yixing Express Sea Freight with Tax Included:

Yixing Express is located in Shenzhen, Guangdong, and the ship departs from Yantian Port directly to Los Angeles, USA. It is considered one of the most competitive options in the southern region and a strong competitor to Meisen Express. Yixing Express has a shipping schedule of six days on and three days off, with an estimated arrival time of 9-10 working days after departure. The overall delivery time and price are similar to Meisen Express.


Yantian Express Sea Freight with Tax Included:

Yantian EMC Evergreen Express is a scheduled sea freight service that departs from Yantian, Shenzhen. It operates on a four days on and three days off schedule, with an estimated delivery time of 13-15 working days after departure. Compared to the express options, it is slower by approximately 5 working days, but the price is more affordable, with a difference of around 1 RMB per kilogram. For those who do not have strict time requirements, Yantian Express can be a cost-effective option.
