Shopping-agent shipping cost from China to United Kingdom

How we estimate

Each figure is the cheapest eligible shipping line for that weight, taken from a daily pre-computed snapshot across the shopping agents QCRadar tracks. Prices are the line’s freight charge in CNY with an approximate USD conversion frozen at snapshot time. How the numbers are produced, field by field:

Data source

Each agent’s own shipping calculator or rate endpoint, queried the same way its checkout does — not a third-party rate table.

Agents queried

33 shopping agents per destination and weight. Only agents that return a usable line for that parcel appear in the tables.

Eligible quotes

A line is eligible when the agent ships to the destination, accepts the parcel’s weight and cargo type, and takes part in public comparison. Each table shows the six cheapest eligible agents; the note under the tables gives the full funnel.

Parcel assumptions

Weight only — 250 g, 500 g, 1 kg, 2 kg and 5 kg. No dimensions are assumed, so volumetric weight is not applied; a bulky parcel can cost more than shown.

Cargo type

Each agent’s line class for branded or sensitive goods — the class reps buyers actually check out with — never the cheaper general-cargo class.

Currency & FX

Freight is quoted in CNY. The USD figure is a convenience conversion at an open mid-market rate, frozen at snapshot time (the FX date is shown under the tables); it does not include any agent’s own exchange-rate markup.

Refresh

Recomputed once a day by a background job. The “Updated” date is the snapshot time, not the page build time.

Not included

Agent service fees, payment fees, insurance, coupons, packaging or consolidation charges, and any import duties or taxes at destination. The line you pick at checkout may differ from the one shown.
