There are five well known international couriers in Qingdao.  The prices vary depending on size and weight of the item being shipped. If you intend on shipping anything abroad we would suggest that us use UPS, FedEX, DHL or EMS.  All four of these companies are reliable and have reasonable rates (approximately 300-500rmb for the first kilogram and 75-80rmb for every additional 500 grams).

China and the United States recently (end of 2004) signed a new aviation deal that gradually will raise the number of cargo and passenger flights between the two nations to 249 per week, up from the current 54.
