Clear Health & Immigration, then get to baggage claim. No porters at the carousels, just free carts. Then clear customs. Lots of people wanting to help you on the other side. Avoid them. Pre-arrange for a driver from your hotel to transport you your first time, before you leave home. Driver likely won't speak much English, but will hold a sign with your name and will handle your bags from there to the car. A private car will cost 250-350RMB. Hotel car 500-600RMB. Taxi 150-200RMB, depending on hotel location.

Right now ~7.3RMB=$1USD

6 Days in Shanghai? You'd be better with 2-3 and a side trip to Beijing.
