I shipped about $15,000.00 USD worth of products from Hong Kong to the U.S. via Air in boxes measuring 1.5ft T, 5ft L, and 2ft H.

Very expensive - shipping on invoice bounced from 20%-37%+ on me. Most of the time its a trick of optimizing your shipping, etc. etc. - but be careful. My first shot at importing products from overseas failed in part because of higher shipping costs + fees.

I used UPS - but it wasn't really my choice, it was my dealers. UPS is pretty decent though.

I also used EMS once as well...but never paid too much attention too the costs as it was similar to UPS.

*Keep in mind you'll get nailed with the customs duty fees about 3-6 months after your shipment gets through*

Goodluck!
