Ballparks from typical 2026 agent-line prices. CSSBuy shows the exact price for your parcel before you pay.
You ship from your CSSBuy account once your items are in its warehouse.
CSSBuy shipping prices by destination
Each line charges a fixed amount per parcel and then a rate per kilogram; these are typical 2026 prices in USD. A 2 kg haul to the United States on the economy line comes to about $33.
| Destination | Economy line 12–25 days | Standard line 8–15 days | Express 3–7 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $12 + $10.5/kg | $14 + $14/kg | $20 + $19/kg |
| Canada | $13 + $11.5/kg | $15 + $15/kg | $21 + $20/kg |
| United Kingdom | $11 + $9.5/kg | $13 + $13/kg | $19 + $18/kg |
| Europe (EU) | $11 + $10/kg | $13 + $13.5/kg | $19 + $18.5/kg |
| Australia / NZ | $12 + $10.5/kg | $14 + $14/kg | $20 + $19/kg |
| Rest of world | $15 + $13/kg | $17 + $16/kg | $24 + $22/kg |
Use these to budget. The number that counts is the one CSSBuy shows at shipping checkout.
How a parcel is priced
- Lines bill on whichever is greater: the scale weight or the box's volume weight. Shoe boxes, puffers and anything with air in it get charged on volume.
- Customs is separate: your own country charges any duty or VAT on arrival, and it is not part of the shipping price CSSBuy shows.
- You pay twice: the item (plus the seller's delivery to CSSBuy's warehouse) when you order, and international shipping later, once, for everything you send together.
- One parcel beats several: the base charge is paid per parcel, so consolidating a haul makes every item cheaper to ship.
- Asking CSSBuy's warehouse to drop shoe boxes and spare packaging usually saves more than any coupon.
From CSSBuy's own terms
- CSSBuy stores items free for 90 days from “In Warehouse”; after that, extending costs 15 RMB per item per month.
- CSSBuy includes 3 to 5 free QC photos per item.
- A packed parcel waiting on payment or logistics is stored free for 30 days, then 30 RMB per parcel per month.

Delivery times by line
The day ranges here are typical across agents' lines; CSSBuy's own delivery quotes, where it publishes them, are in the list above and usually sit at the faster end.
Add the time before shipping starts: the seller usually needs 2 to 5 days to get your item to the warehouse, and the line's clock only starts once you pay for international shipping.
- Economy line: 12–25 days
- Standard line: 8–15 days
- Express: 3–7 days
Look over the CSSBuy QC photos before you pay for shipping; a return is only practical while the item is in China.
Shipping questions
Does the shipping price include import tax?
Not normally. Import duty and VAT are set by your own country and charged on arrival. A few lines, such as tax-included EU lines, build them in, and CSSBuy labels those lines.
What does it cost to ship from CSSBuy?
Weight, destination and the line you pick set it. For a sense of scale: about $42 for 2 kg to the US on a standard line, less on economy, more by express. CSSBuy gives the real figure at shipping checkout.
How long does CSSBuy take to deliver?
Typically 12 to 25 days on an economy line, 8 to 15 on a standard line and 3 to 7 by express, counted from when the parcel leaves the warehouse. Add 2 to 5 days before that for the seller to deliver the item to the warehouse.
What is volume weight?
Lines charge the greater of the real weight and the volume weight (the box's size divided by a fixed number). Big light items, like shoe boxes and puffer jackets, are charged on size.
What is the cheapest way to ship with CSSBuy?
Send everything in one parcel, ask the warehouse to remove shoe boxes and extra packaging, pick an economy line if you are not in a hurry, and use any shipping coupons your CSSBuy account has.
