Shipping furniture
 
Hey,one of my clients ordered a piece of furniture,about 0.4 stere,Shipping to Los Angles from Beijing need about 280USD per stere .if not get one stere,they will charge 280USD.but the furniture just cost 250USD,its so expensive to shipping just one piece.
so who will order furniture and shipping to USA close to California tell please.you can share the fees.thanks

Shipping prices from China to the US are ridiculously high. KongLin no one here knows what a "stere" is.

1,000 cubic decimeters = 1 cubic meter (m 3 ) = 1 stere = 1.307 cubic yards
