Best way to ship products from China?

I was recently contacted by a family member who's a manufacturer of luggage bags. He says I can sell them online, etx.

The pricing is decent but the issue is shipping. His factory is in China. I've researched online and if I setup some type of shipping directly to a customer the shipping price is not feasible.

I also looked into e-packets I think but those apply to small items. These are 3-piece bag sets that weigh a combined total of about 25kg each.

Anyone else dealt with shipping goods or have experience with freight shipping, etc?
Or just any other methods to ship item / items from China to other countries?

    Cheapest is by sea in bulk.

    Usually you will pay somewhere between one-half and one-third of air shipping but it depends on a range of factors.

    Then you will need to have warehousing in the USA in order to fulfil orders (amazon fba can do this).

    Good luck with your venture.

      Thanks ZanyZebra,

      I've contacted Aamzon FBA and hopefully they'll have a solution seeing as how they have fulfillment centers all over the world.

      I'll post back and let everyone know how it goes.

    If you are lucky you can find someone who is already doing shipping (in bulk) and you can get your stuff added to their container. You kind of have to know someone, but that can be the cheaper way. Ask around, you might get lucky.
