Matson Express is a sea freight route from Shanghai to Long Beach, with an average port-to-port delivery time of 12-14 days, making it the fastest sea freight container shipping route to the US West Coast.

Matson has its own controlled terminal at Long Beach (Matson is the only company in the US with an independent terminal, and it is under the control of the US military). The entire terminal has only one operator, resulting in extremely high efficiency. Containers arriving on Sunday can be picked up on Monday, significantly reducing back-end delivery time (excluding customs inspections).

Matson Express's freight rates are higher than regular sea freight, but significantly lower than air freight, making it particularly advantageous during peak seasons.

During peak seasons, air freight often requires waiting for flights for several days or even more than a week, and with reduced flight capacity causing freight rates to reach record highs, Matson Express undoubtedly offers better value for money. This is a highly recommended shipping method for those doing cross-border e-commerce such as Amazon.
