Post Best options for bulk shipping small packages from Shanghai to US

I want to send about 300 - 1000 light packages per week from Shanghai to numerous states in the US. this volume will also increase in the near future.

Whats the most cost effective option? I have heard about E-packet, Ive no idea where to start. I have asked at the China Post office and they just give me regular rates which are proving to expensive.

Can someone please advise the options available to me, if they have tracking and the delivery time, cost etc?

The majority of my packages will be under 200grams, very small items. And the addresses will be numerous.

Would appreciate feedback here. Thanks in advance!

China Post ePacket probably is the best service for you. Other service such as DHL , UPS,Fedex are far more expensive. China Post Register Mail is a little bit cheaper but much slower and inaccurate.

China Post does not provide much discount for bulk sellers. I know some sellers who ship about 1000 packets per day only get 5% discount than regular rate.

So how do I sign up for epacket or China post register mail? Also do you know what the costs start at?? I need delivery in 6 weeks so I dont have issues with speed. But I guess tracking is required. Thanks for your help.

are you in China or USA? If you are in China, you should contact China Post in your city and apply a client account. You can also find a shipping agent for you to handle the shipping issue.

Hey, I am in China. I was in contact with China Post and they sent a representative to see me. He didnt mention a client account but quoted me higher prices than I found online and basically told me that UPS agents can offer better pricing than he could directly at UPS. Its kind of amazing really but I guess it's not surprising. If anyone knows such Shanghai based logistics agencies kindly share their contact details with me. Thanks.
