If you've ever had a shipment get held up at LAX and watched your Amazon listing slip out of stock, you already know that speed isn't a luxury — it's the whole game. That's exactly why we built our air freight & express to USA service the way we did: not as a generic airline booking desk, but as a logistics team that has been moving cargo out of South China since before most of today's FBA sellers even opened their first Amazon account.
We're Orient Globe (GES Global Logistics), founded back in 1999 in Xiamen and now headquartered in Dongguan — right in the middle of the Pearl River Delta manufacturing belt. One thing that sets us apart from day one: since 1999 we've been UPS's exclusive service partner in South China, and we've taken home the UPS Best Performance Gold Award for it. That relationship matters more than it sounds, because when we book an express air shipment to the States, we're not standing in line with every other forwarder off the street.
How our air & express service actually works
We run nonstop air flights out of major Chinese hubs, with final-mile handled by UPS, FedEx, or DHL depending on what your shipment needs and where it's landing. On the carrier side, we work closely with a wide network of overseas airlines — including China Eastern Airlines and other major carriers across the region — which gives us real flexibility when belly capacity gets tight during peak season. We've been doing this long enough to know which carrier allocations hold up in July and Q4, and which ones quietly fall apart.
Here's what that looks like day to day:
- We pick up at your door. No need to haul your boxes to a warehouse. We'll collect, pack, label, and even inspect and confirm the shipping info against your requirements before anything leaves your factory. If you're an FBA seller, we know ASIN labeling, carton prep, and the little Amazon rules that get shipments rejected — we've handled enough of them to not need a cheat sheet.
- Someone actually watches your shipment. From pickup to delivery at the designated US address, a dedicated coordinator follows your cargo end to end. You won't get passed between four different people and a ticket system.
- One-stop paperwork. Booking, export customs declaration, tax handling, and final delivery — we run it as a single flow, not a series of handoffs. We also provide free bonded services for customers re-exporting or processing imported cargo, which comes in handy if you're doing any cross-trade work.
- You can see where it is. Our real time logistics tracking lets you follow the route online the same way you'd track a consumer parcel. No waiting three days for a "we'll check and get back to you" email.
DDU shipping, DDP, and the questions buyers actually ask
A lot of sellers ask us about DDU shipping versus DDP, and the honest answer is: it depends on your commodity, your tax registration in the US, and how much control you want over the last mile. If you're a brand with your own EIN and a customs broker you trust, DDU usually saves you money. If you're launching a new SKU and want zero surprises on duties and brokerage, DDP is the cleaner call. We'll walk you through which one fits before you book — not after your cargo lands.
For smaller, time-critical parcels, our DHL shipping per kg USA rate is often the most competitive option — especially for documents, samples, or low-value e-commerce parcels that need to hit a customer's door in three to five days. As for General Timeliness To USA? Our typical door-to-door window runs about 3–5 business days on express, and 5–8 business days on standard air freight, depending on the origin city and the US destination zone. We'll give you a real estimate before pickup, not a marketing number we have to walk back later.
Why buyers stick with us
Look, there's no shortage of forwarders advertising cheap China air freight & express to USA rates. What keeps clients with us — and our active customer list has grown past 10,000 accounts — is the boring stuff done consistently: cargo that arrives when we said it would, problems surfaced early instead of buried, and a team that has actually seen a customs exam notice before.
We've been at this since 1994 in one form or another, opened branches across the Pearl River Delta (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhongshan), expanded to Vietnam in Haiphong and Hanoi, launched our first ocean container service in 2017, and opened our own US overseas warehouse in 2019. Today we have warehouses in LA and Chicago, which means if your air shipment lands and you need relabeling, transit labeling, or drop shipping to end customers instead of an FBA center, we can handle that under our own roof rather than farming it out.
That mix — air express experience dating back to the UPS partnership, self-owned US warehousing, and a team that treats a 50kg parcel the same way we treat a 180-cubic-meter consolidation — is what you're actually getting when you book with us. No order is too small to reply to properly, and no shipment is so routine that we skip the pre-flight checklist.
If you've got a shipment moving to the US — whether it's an Amazon FBA restock, a Walmart parcel, a trade-show sample, or a full pallet of commercial goods — send us the dimensions, weight, and commodity, and we'll come back with a straight answer on the fastest, most cost-effective way to get it there.
