Hi guys, do you know of an efficient and cost effective way to ship products from China to the customer in USA?
This is the first time we are manufacturing a product in China, and we don't have sales yet (because we haven't launched).
looks awesome but they only take on clients that send 1k+ orders per month, so they won't accept us at this pre-launch stage.
Do you know of an alternative to Portless to ship from China direct to consumer?

if you have low volumes, look for 3PLs that specialize in crowdfunding projects. They will have more favourable terms for your scale. NextSmartShip is one. Cheap. Not amazing but they do the job reliably.

@Valerie Crisp thanks for chiming in and recommending NextSmartShip.
I'd never heard of them and they look pretty good. I'm gonna follow up with them.
When you say "not amazing" what were you not very impressed with?
