To calculate the cost of shipping your goods from China to Antigua please provide us with the packed dimensions of your package.   Length  x Width x Height.  

 

Shipping is not based on weight but on volume (CBM). Exceptionally heavy items may incur additional handling or repacking fees.  Please let us know your items approximate weight at the time you request a quote. 

Transit time from China to Antigua is approximately 60-70 days. Shipping timelines can vary due to factors such as port traffic, customs, vessel availability, weather, and local port conditions.

Currently our schedule for containers from China to Antigua for LCL shipments  is at last one container each month and often more frequently depending on the season and demand.  In addition to our LCL shipments we also coordinate full container-loads directly to Caribbean ports for people and businesses that work with us on a complete China sourcing solution. 

Rates change based on shipping season and container space. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing, please submit a quote request on our website.

The warehouse is located in Guangzhou, one of China’s major export hubs.

China2Dadli does not recommend specific suppliers or factories. The choice of supplier is your own responsibility.

However, if you are:
– Building a house
– Opening a retail or wholesale business
– Managing a complex project
…we can connect you with our Project Department where you will have access to a complete sourcing solution where we handle all details for you to import and save buying from qualified and vetted factories directly. 

We’ve assisted many Caribbean clients in sourcing building materials, machinery, and other custom products. Our team ensures goods are affordable, high quality, and tailored to your needs..  

– English
– Mandarin Chinese
– Cantonese

We also have basic communication skills in:
– Spanish
– Japanese

While we do not speak Caribbean dialects, but thanks to years of working with clients across the region, we can understand most dialects clearly.

Although our offices are located in China, we frequently visit Antigua to meet with clients who are involved in building projects or bulk sourcing operations.

If you’re managing a project and would like to meet, let us know and we can arrange a visit during one of our upcoming trips—or set up a virtual meeting.

Yes! If you have a small quantity of goods and would like to utilize our Less Than Container Load (LCL) services, we are happy to assist.

We can help you ship the items that you have already purchased from your choice of suppliers. Our LCL service is perfect for individuals or small businesses that do not need a full container but still want professional, reliable shipping from China to Antigua and the Caribbean.

Yes, we offer full container (FCL) shipping services, but only as part of our complete sourcing solution.

This means we work directly with our extensive list of qualified and vetted suppliers in China to coordinate, consolidate, and manage all goods for your shipment, typically for large projects such as building materials or bulk imports. We specialize in handling complex orders from multiple suppliers, ensuring everything is packed into one 20ft or 40ft container and shipped efficiently to Antigua.

If you’re not using our sourcing service, we recommend our LCL (Less-than-Container Load) shipping option, which is better suited for smaller shipments or self-managed purchases.
