About ShipCostCalc

ShipCostCalc is an independent tool site for people who buy from Chinese shopping platforms and ship through a parcel forwarding (consolidation) service.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by Cainiao, Alibaba, Taobao, Pinduoduo, 1688, JD or any forwarder. Brand names appear only to describe which platforms the tools work with.

Our rate cards are editorial estimate ranges, not official prices. Customs thresholds link to official government sources with the date we last checked them.

Some pages contain a referral link to a forwarding app. If you sign up through it we may earn a commission; this never changes the estimates.
