However, the demand for these pedals often exceeds the supply of local boutique importers. When stock does arrive in mainland China, the price tag often reflects high import overheads and scarcity markups. This is why savvy musicians are looking toward the source and choosing to shop US store locations directly to secure their gear.

Crunching the numbers: US versus local pricing

The math is simple but staggering. In the United States, the Chase Bliss Onward typically retails for approximately $399 USD. In contrast, boutique resellers in China often list the same unit for the equivalent of $550 USD or more once they factor in their profit margins. By using a freight forwarder, you can essentially bypass the middleman.

Even after factoring in international shipping, the total cost often remains significantly lower than buying locally. If you find that US retailers are difficult to navigate or don't accept your payment method, the BuyForMe service can handle the purchase on your behalf, ensuring you don't miss out on limited batch drops.

Getting it to China: The shipping breakdown

The process of getting your new pedal home is straightforward. First, you obtain a US shipping address from comGateway. When you purchase the Onward from a retailer like Reverb, Sweetwater, or the official Chase Bliss site, you simply use that address at checkout.

Once the item reaches the warehouse, you can choose to forward packages immediately or consolidate them with other gear to save more on shipping. If you are new to the process, this how it works section provides a clear visual guide on the journey from the US warehouse to your doorstep in China.

Localization and Import Advice for China

When importing electronics into China in 2026, it is important to be aware of the Personal Effects customs category. Musical instruments like effect pedals are generally classified under general electronics. Ensure your declaration is accurate to avoid delays. Using a professional parcel forwarding service helps because they provide the necessary documentation to streamline the customs clearance process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the power supply work in China?
Yes, Chase Bliss pedals use a standard 9V DC power input. As long as you use a high-quality isolated power supply (like those from Strymon or Voodoo Lab) rated for China's 220V grid, the pedal will function perfectly.

What if the package is damaged during transit?
You can find information regarding shipment protection and insurance in the FAQ section. It is always recommended to opt for insurance for high-end boutique gear.

Can I ship multiple pedals at once?
Absolutely. Consolidating multiple pedals into one shipment is the most efficient way to reduce the cost per item. You can manage all your incoming packages through your package forwarding dashboard.
