Importing from China

Alexander Kern6 said:From what I understand, you can definitely opt for shared containers—basically, you just rent a portion of the space—so you shouldn't end up spending a fortune. It all really boils down to the volume you're taking up, but I'd imagine it wouldn't exceed $100, maybe even much less! What you're looking at right now is almost certainly air freight, given that shipping by plane can easily run you $10 or more per kilo.
If you happen to be in New York City, try reaching out to folks on those local import forums or even check near Jefferson; they're constantly bringing things in from China and might be able to help you out.

Anyone here have experience with that—or maybe a solid agent I could hit up?

A full shipping container is around $2,000...
For 150 kg, weight isn't the main factor—it's more about the dimensions.
It all depends on which port you choose for pickup...
You can find agents online or handle it individually.
You could also cut a deal with a freight forwarder...😉
How much total quantity are we talking about?
