How shipping from China to the US actually works.
Peregrine ships from China to United States in 4 to 8 days door-to-door, with the local last-mile carrier on every customer tracking page. Built for dropshipping and DTC brands on Shopify, with optional 3PL fulfillment and custom packaging for higher-volume operators. The lane covers the demand picture, the carrier, the customs math, and who is already shipping it.
The market
The US is the biggest DTC market on Shopify and the Section 321 de-minimis (under $800) lets most orders ship duty-free direct from China. The warehouse sits next to the factories that built the product, so restocks land in 2 to 3 days.
Local last-mile carrier on every package
USPS handles last-mile to American addresses, UPS and FedEx on Pro tier. The tracking page renders only the US leg by default — the China ship-out and line-haul (GoFo and other cross-border partners) are stripped from the customer-visible timeline.
De-minimis $800, VAT 0%
Section 321 lets parcels under $800 enter duty-free with no formal customs entry. HS codes auto-attached per SKU. Above the ceiling, Type 11 entries get filed and duty owed shows in the dashboard before dispatch.
Already on the lane
From solo dropshippers running 30 orders a day to DTC brands sending 30,000+ packages a month. 99.8% delivery accuracy and 6.6-day average door-to-door across the US lane.

How long does shipping from China to the US actually take?
Door-to-door averages 6.6 days. Range is 4 to 8 days depending on US destination state: 4-5 days to West Coast (CA, OR, WA, NV), 5-7 days to Midwest, 6-8 days to East Coast and the Southeast. Dispatch from China is sub-24h after order confirmation.
Do my US customers pay customs or duty on China-direct orders?
No, not on orders under $800. The Section 321 de-minimis exemption lets the parcel enter duty-free with no formal customs declaration. The vast majority of DTC orders are under this threshold, so the customer receives the package with no additional fees. Above $800, formal duty applies and shows in the dashboard before dispatch.
Does the customer see that the parcel is shipping from China?
No. The tracking page at track.peregrineship.com renders only the US-leg scan events (Acceptance, In Transit, Out for Delivery, Delivered) under your branding. The China ship-out and international line-haul leg are hidden by default, so the customer-visible timeline reads like a standard US-origin shipment with USPS final-mile.
What about returns from the US?
US returns route to a Las Vegas reverse-logistics hub. Customer scans a prepaid return label, parcel lands at the hub in 3 to 5 days, restocked or refunded per your policy. Returns do not go back to China.
Are there products that cannot ship to the US from China?
Yes: electronics with built-in lithium batteries above certain Wh ratings, vape products, prescription medication, and anything on the US ITAR list. The Peregrine sourcing team flags restricted SKUs at quote time so you do not discover it on the first dispatch attempt.
