The cheapest way to ship internationally depends on package size, but generally, USPS First-Class Package International is best for lightweight items (under 4 lbs), while sea freight (LCL) is cheapest for large shipments or moving belongings, albeit slower. For a balance of cost and speed, consider carrier discount platforms like Easyship, ShipStation, Stamps.com that offer significant discounts on services from major carriers like UPS, FedEx, and DHL.

USPS First Class International is the cheapest for parcels under 4.4 lbs—but it's slow and lacks insurance.
