Ocean freight through Warp, plainly

How does ocean freight pricing work at Warp?

Most major lanes price live from real sailing schedules in about a minute: pick best value, fastest, or balanced and lock it on the spot. Anything the live network cannot price comes back as a firm team quote within one business day.

Can Warp handle everything after my container lands?

Yes. Port pickup from 10 US container gateways, container unloading and palletization at a Warp dock, storage by the pallet day, and LTL distribution to every destination run as one plan.

Does Warp quote both full containers and shared container space?

Yes. Full containers price as FCL in 20 and 40 foot sizes; smaller loads price as shared space. Tell us how much product you have in plain units and the flow quotes the right one.

Is sea freight the same as ocean freight?

Yes, two names for one product: cargo moving by ship, priced per container for FCL or by volume for shared space. The calculator on this page works as a sea freight calculator and an ocean freight calculator alike, returning the same live rates from real sailing schedules.

Quick answers

Can I get an ocean freight quote online without a forwarder?

Yes. Warp prices major Asia lanes live from real sailing schedules in about a minute: full containers or shared space, tiered rates locked on the spot, booking confirmed the same day.

Who handles my container after it lands in the US?

Warp does: port pickup from 10 US container gateways, unloading and palletization at a Warp dock, storage by the pallet day, and LTL distribution to every destination.

How much does ocean freight cost from China to the US?

Live quotes captured September 20, 2026 priced a 40 foot high cube from Shanghai to Los Angeles at $10,128 to $12,045, port or full door by tier, with 18 to 39 day transit, and Shanghai to the New York area at $13,057 to $15,739. That is about $0.29 to $0.45 per pound on a 35,000 lb load. Rates move with sailings and fuel; the calculator above prices your exact lane in about a minute.

How is an ocean freight rate calculated?

Full containers (FCL) price per box by route, vessel space, and speed tier: a 20 foot, 40 foot, or 40 foot high cube each carry one flat rate regardless of weight within legal limits. Shared space (LCL) prices by volume instead, so small loads pay only for the cube they use. On top of the water leg, the door legs (origin pickup, US port pickup, final delivery) and the season move the number week to week, which is why Warp quotes live from real sailing schedules instead of a static tariff.
