Factors affecting the time to ship goods to the US

With the question of how long it takes to ship goods to the US, there is really no exact answer. Because the process of shipping goods to the US is also affected by many factors. For example:

Location of receipt: The US is a country with a large area, so the actual time will depend on the port where the ship will dock. For example, the time to ship goods from Vietnam to Los Angeles port only takes about 25 days, but if it goes to Chicago port, it takes 35 - 40 days.

Time of shipping: You don't just need to send the goods to the shipping unit to be able to export immediately. Because to optimize costs, shipping units often store goods in the warehouse until they reach the required weight before exporting. Therefore, you should estimate the time the goods are stored in the warehouse to know the exact time.

Nature of goods: Depending on the nature of the goods "gửi hàng đi mỹ bằng đường biển", you can choose the appropriate form of transportation. For urgent goods, air transport is often chosen. If the goods are not time-sensitive, you can freely choose the form that suits your finances and needs.

Weather conditions: A factor that affects the time that often occurs during the shipping process is the weather. If the weather is nice, the goods will arrive on time or earlier. On the contrary, if the weather is bad, the shipping time will be extended.

Shipping unit: Choosing a reputable and branded shipping unit to the US will help speed up the export process and the shipping fee to the US will be cheaper. Because these units have a lot of export experience and have a wide network of relationships, they can easily handle risks when they occur.
