Also note that the US delivery China is paying for is from a port to a final destination. If someone is comparing from East Coast to West Coast or vice versa, they're looking at a package traveling further in the US than the Chinese one is.
- mlyle 7y agoYes, but longer than from the delivery unit. :P
- ikeboy 7y agoFair enough, but DDU is a good response when someone is claiming their cost to ship across the street is insanely high. If you set up an apples to apples comparison, I think China would end up slightly cheaper much of the time, but nowhere near the hyperbolic numbers that get thrown around. Maybe they pay $2 for something that costs $2.25 or something. It's difficult to point to specific comparable shipments where they're actually cheaper, though.
