Shipping from Delaware to Costa Rica

Shipping a 20 lb package costs roughly $20-$40 for ground services (UPS, FedEx, USPS Ground Advantage) for shorter distances, but can range from $13 to over $100+ for faster or international options, depending heavily on the carrier, speed, and distance (zone). USPS Ground Advantage is often economical, while faster FedEx/UPS options like Next Day Air become much pricier, and sometimes splitting into lighter boxes (under 20 lbs) can be cheaper with USPS.

The cheapest way to ship internationally depends on package size/weight, but for light items (<4.4 lbs), USPS First-Class Package International is usually cheapest ; for heavier items, using multi-carrier platforms (like Easyship, Pirate Ship ) to get discounts on USPS, DHL, UPS / FedEx economy services (like FedEx International Connect Plus)** offers the best balance of cost and speed, as these platforms leverage volume discounts and consolidators for better rates than direct.

On each Registered Mail item and on the customs form of each item mailed to Costa Rica, the mailer must provide the addressee's fixed or mobile phone number and email address, if available.
