Shipping from China to the US is often the single largest variable cost in a RizzitGO order. The platform's freight calculator lets you estimate total shipping charges before you confirm your parcel — an essential tool for budgeting your haul accurately. This guide explains how to use it and how to choose the best shipping line for your items.

Why Shipping Costs Matter So Much

When buying reps through a shopping agent, your total landed cost is: product price + agent service fee + international shipping + customs risk. Shipping alone can range from $8 for a light item on a budget line to $60+ for a heavy parcel on express. Getting this calculation right before you pack your haul can save you $20–50 per order.

How to Access the Freight Calculator on RizzitGO

1

Log into your shopping agent account

The freight calculator is accessed through your agent (KakoBuy, MuleBuy, etc.) — not on this spreadsheet site directly.

2

Add items to your warehouse

Purchase items via the agent and wait for them to arrive at the agent's warehouse. Once received, you'll get weight and dimensions data.

3

Open the freight calculator

In your agent's dashboard, navigate to "Submit Parcel" or "Freight Estimate". Enter destination country (United States) and packaging method.

4

Compare shipping lines

The calculator shows multiple carriers — compare price vs. transit time. Economy lines take longer but cost less; express lines are faster but pricier.

5

Select and confirm

Choose your preferred line based on urgency and budget, then confirm the parcel submission.

Understanding Shipping Lines

Economy (Sea/Air Mix)$8–18, 15–25 daysNon-urgent, heavier items like shoes
Standard Air$15–30, 10–16 daysBalance of speed and cost for most hauls
Express (DHL/FedEx)$35–60+, 3–7 daysUrgent orders, sensitive items
EUB / e-Packet$10–20, 14–21 daysSmall light items (accessories, wallets)
Private Line$18–35, 7–12 daysBetter customs clearance rates for shoes

For shoes, a "private line" shipping option often has better customs clearance rates than standard DHL — worth the small extra cost for peace of mind on premium rep sneakers.

Tips to Reduce Shipping Costs

  • Consolidate everything into one parcel — the per-item cost drops dramatically with higher total weight.
  • Remove original boxes for shoes to save significant weight and volume (ask your agent to "kick the box").
  • Use bubble wrap instead of box packaging for soft goods like hoodies and T-shirts.
  • Compare the same route across multiple agents before shipping — fees can vary 15–25% between platforms.
  • Check if your agent offers a "split parcel" option to separate high-risk items from a larger haul.

Never overpack a single parcel hoping to save money — packages over certain size/weight thresholds trigger mandatory customs declarations on the US side. When in doubt, split into two smaller parcels.
