5 International Shopping Websites That Ship to China

While it’s possible to find pretty much everything and anything your consumerist heart desires in China, sometimes you’ve just got to have something they don’t offer here. Or maybe you’re just sick and tired of the gleaming white malls with their hordes of people or the bargain markets with their endless rows of booths (impossible, I know). Or maybe it’s just too damn cold to go outside and shop. Whatever your reason, there’s plenty of shopping to be done using just your fingertips and, of course, a credit card. Check out the websites below to satisfy shopping itch – the best part is that they all ship to China!

The website: www.zchocolat.com
What it is: Heaven on earth. Not really, but it is pretty freaking close. It’s a gourmet chocolate shop that offers decadent desserts in even more decadent packaging (think polished mahogany and handmade paper boxes). You can get everything from bonbons to truffles here, in flavors like passion fruit caramel and toasted sesame praline. Of course, indulgence like this doesn’t come cheap…
Shipping info: Ships to China in 2-4 business days for a cost of USD$33.20 (about 226RMB)

The website: www.art.com
What it is: Totally devoted to everything art. Whether you want vintage paintings, modern photographs, or retro posters – you can find it all here. If you have something in mind, you can browse by specific categories like subject matter (people, scenic, etc.) or style (abstract, realism, etc.). Or you can easily click away an afternoon just roaming through the site until you find something that strikes your fancy.
Shipping info: Shipping costs vary depending on size and quantity, so it’s easiest just to call them (toll free) at 800-952-5592 (hours are Monday-Saturday, 9:00am-10:00pm EST).

The website: www.yesstyle.com
What it is: Clothing and accessories for women, men, expectant moms, and kids. They carry a ton of brands from a ton of different countries, including Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Everything from casual tops, dresses, swimwear, jackets, belts, and hats are available, so feel free to get lost on the site. The prices are decent, especially when you check out their sale items.
Shipping info: If your total order comes to less than US$150 (about 1,020RMB), shipping to China is US$14 (about 95RMB). If your total order comes to USD$150 or more, shipping to China is free. All shipping is express.

The website: www.cubancrafters.com
What it is: For cigar and tobacco aficionados. In a country where about a quarter of the population smokes, this website is a no-brainer. They also sell cigar essentials, like humidors and cutters. Even if you don’t smoke cigarettes, check out their extensive selection of handmade cigars to find some unique flavors – because, come on, what’s cooler than seeing a girl handling a stogie?
Shipping info: Standard shipping charges plus an additional USD$26 (about 177RMB) to China. Up that to USD$48 (about 327RMB) for large humidors.

The website: www.urbanapothecary.com
What it is: Mineral makeup and natural skincare. Ok, I admit it – I saved my favorite for last. I get a bit giddy browsing through the endless pages of bright lipsticks and dramatic eyeshadows. Their choices are varied and affordable (you can get eyeshadow in the USD$10.50 range), and it’s the perfect place to stock up on your spring essentials. They also have makeup and skincare tips, plus all the accessories (brushes, brow pencil sharpeners, etc.). Giddy, I tell ya…
Shipping info: Ships to China in 5-7 business days for a cost of USD$20.00 (about 136RMB)

You mention five different websites that ship to china at different rates. And you didn`t say that if my products were damaged or lost, what will happen after that. Is of these companies can give us insurance for that merchandise, and how much it will be? Cause I have experience with some companies where you can shop and ship from the US, and they will give you a certain amount when you lost your products, or it is found damaged. The companies names are MY US, Shipito, Planet express, Global shopaholics etc. Global shopaholics are offering free US mail addresses for those people who don`t live in the US. There are no such limits of items you can purchase as long as you buy the products from the same store. for further details or queries, visit their website. https://globalshopaholics.com/
