Shipping from China can result in more savings, but you need to consider\u00a0lead times\u00a0and customs fees. Shipping directly from China can be cheaper than US fulfillment services due to lower customs fees, flexible options, and shorter shipping times while avoiding additional warehousing and receiving fees. Shipping from China has become more efficient and cost-effective in recent years, allowing for fast and consistent delivery to the US in as little as five to ten days, and it is not limited to dropshipping.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dropshipping_Fulfillment\"><\/span>Dropshipping Fulfillment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most of the dropshippers no longer engage in traditional\u00a0dropshipping\u00a0and instead control their own stock, with some also receiving assistance in sourcing and developing products. China fulfillment offers flexibility and\u00a0cost benefits, leading to an increasing number of brands shifting from US fulfillment to China fulfillment, with no drawbacks. Fulfilling from the US first is beneficial for fast shipping and during\u00a0supply chain disruptions, but there are certain products that cannot be shipped from China, so the decision doesn&#8217;t have to be one or the other.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spaceshipapp.com\/en-hk\/ecommerce-fulfillment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spaceship provides the best alternative to dropshippers<\/a> who are looking for evolving their dropshipping businesses to more sustainable eCommerce businesses.

Investing in US or\u00a0local fulfillment\u00a0is not necessary unless you are doing high volume and can consistently send containers to your local 3PL. Ship from China in bulk to get the best\u00a0average cost, use a China fulfillment center as a backup plan, and consider shipping directly from China to other parts of the world for cost savings.<\/p>\n<p>eCommerce owners can separate US and international orders by using different fulfillment centers and notifying the customer when stock is available. Set different shipping options in Shopify, prioritize working with a fulfillment center in Shenzhen for efficient international shipping from China, and communicate product details with the Chinese fulfillment center. Send a sample to your fulfillment center before shipping to avoid surprises, ensure they have a\u00a0real warehouse, an efficient receiving process, and understand different shipping methods to effectively communicate with customers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In conclusion, shipping and fulfilling from China may offer cost savings, efficiency, and flexibility for e-commerce brands expanding their markets internationally.
