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: every sailing comes back priced side by side, cheapest and fastest first, and you book the one you pick online. 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 (LCL). 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. This page returns a sea freight quote and an ocean freight quote alike, live from real sailing schedules.

Where can I book and pay for ocean freight online without a broker?

Right here: enter your lane, pick a priced sailing, and book it online in four steps, with no broker call and no charge until the carrier confirms. A Warp team member confirms the booking the same day and sends the invoice. Warp is not an ocean freight forwarder or a customs broker: licensed forwarder partners carry the ocean leg, and when the price ends at a door, the customs entry and ISF filing are itemized in it. Duty, import tax, the MPF and HMF entry fees, a customs bond if you don’t hold an annual one, and any exam or storage fees are billed to the importer after arrival.

What ocean freight costs right now

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, every sailing priced side by side, 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 October 20, 2026 priced a 40 foot high cube from Shanghai to Los Angeles at $8,507 to $9,229, port or full door by tier, with 18 days transit, and Shanghai to the New York area at $10,377 to $11,098 with 35 to 36 days transit. That is about $0.24 to $0.26 per pound on a 35,000 lb load. Rates move with sailings and fuel; the live search above prices your exact lane in about a minute.

What does ocean freight cost per kilogram?

A full container (FCL) priced from $0.47 per kilogram on a 35,000 lb load, the cheapest of 130 lanes priced. That price was captured November 7, 2026. For shared space, 2 pallets LCL priced from $1.63 per kilogram, the cheapest of 130 lanes priced. That price was captured November 7, 2026.

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. A real Warp quote captured September 27, 2026 for Shanghai to Los Angeles (one 40 foot high cube, 35,000 lb, port to door) broke down to $8,102.32 ocean freight, $115.50 origin charges, $525.94 US port and customs charges, and $484.20 for the truck from the port to the door: $9,227.96 all in. Duty is separate and depends on the goods. See the full line by line breakdown on the ocean freight calculator.
