This guide will cover all the topics you need to know about shipping for Shopify Dropshipping. We are here to support you from sourcing, purchasing, and warehousing to shipping around the world. Grow your dropshipping business and leave the hard work to us.

Shipping from China to the USA

The USA is considered as the largest market for most drop shippers and is the country where we ship the most packages for our clients.

Price and timeframe are the primary two aspects to consider when choosing a shipping method. We can tell from the table below, the most cost & time-efficient choices from China to the USA are USPS, Yunexpress, and Yanwen Ordinary.

Supposing you need to ship 100g ordinary products, you can compare different shipping methods in the following table.

Taxes & Customs

In 2016, the USA increased the minimum threshold for customs duties from $200 to $800, which means most goods valued below $800 are not subject to duties or taxes.

If the package has duties applied, it is your customer who is responsible for paying customs duties (or import taxes) on the items shipped from China across the US border. Make sure you add such information on your store so that your customers are aware that the items they ordered may come from abroad so they should expect to pay customs duties. The point of being upfront is to protect you from complaints or refund requests because of customs costs.

Prohibited and Restricted Items

There are items that are prohibited or restricted by law to enter the US. You need to avoid or pay attention to these items when deciding on your dropshipping products if you want your customers to receive their packages with no problems.

Such items are listed below:

  • Biologicals
  • Medication
  • Gold
  • Firearms
  • Automobiles
  • Pets
  • Soil
  • Absinthe (Alcohol)
  • Alcoholic Beverages
  • Dog and Cat Fur
  • Drug Paraphernalia
  • Fish and Wildlife
  • Ceramic Tableware
  • Fruits and Vegetables
  • Photographic Film
  • Game and Hunting Trophies

  • Food Products (Raw and Prepared)
  • Defense Articles or Items with Military or Proliferation Applications
  • Cultural Artifacts and Cultural Property

Shipping within the USA

It would be best if you had private inventory in the local warehouses. Providing lightning delivery is one of the practical ways to win a customer’s heart. Keep reading and you’ll learn the fastest way of bringing parcels to your US-based customers.

Shipping from the US warehouses costs a little bit more than shipping from China to the US but in return, it improves shipping times by triple.

How can shipping from the US warehouses boost your dropshipping business?

Let’s see the truth: Dropshipping as a business model isn’t perfect. The feature of dropshipping has the attraction of flexibility, which you don’t need to pay upfront for inventory. Yet that’s precisely where its limitation lies. Holding no inventory means you lack control, especially during high seasons and holidays such as Christmas and Chinese New Year, when products may run out of stock and shipping times may be extended.

At a certain point in your dropshipping journey, when you are ready to scale, you can make good use of our US warehouses to bring your business to another level. Let’s take a look at the benefits that using our US warehouses can bring you.

Keep selling on holidays

Many experienced drop shippers suspend their Facebook ads during the Chinese New Year as Chinese suppliers and logistics companies go on vacation. By purchasing inventory at our US warehouses in advance, you can keep running ads and have your orders shipped without delay. That will get you ahead of your competitors who have to stop due to being out of stock.

Meet the needs of country-sensitive customers

Some customers may be sensitive to which country or region the package is being sent from. By shipping from the US warehouses, parcels won’t show information such as “Ship from China”.

Expedite order processing and delivery

When orders are fulfilled from local US warehouses, it significantly reduces the shipping distance and transit time. This means that once the order is placed, it can be processed and dispatched quickly, often within the same or next business day.

Shipping Methods

Long shipping time is one of the main concerns of those who hesitate about creating their own dropshipping stores. You may wonder, “Why would anyone want to order from my store when s/he can receive what s/he bought from Amazon in two days?” Keep reading and you’ll know why long shipping is no big deal and how to get rid of the shipping time issue.

Sell a Product that Evokes the Desire

The truth is people don’t buy from you out of necessity. You need to sell a product that customers did not know they wanted but they see your ad on Facebook and it gives them a feeling that they must have it.

Be Frank about Shipping Times

Make sure your customers are aware of how long it might take to receive their packages. It’s crucial that customers can get clear shipping information on your site. You need to manage your customers’ expectations properly by giving realistic shipping times. You might worry about a decline in conversion when customers see they need to wait for weeks. Trust me, it’s far better to sell a few less than to spend an awful lot of money on chargebacks.

Offer Excellent Customer Service

You’ll receive emails from customers asking about their parcels, and more emails when shipping delays. Although there is nothing you can do to speed up the delivery, responding to customers’ concerns timely can give them peace of mind of not having to wonder if they’ve been scammed. By doing this, customers won’t require refunds for having to wait a couple of more days.
