Shipping from Delaware to Iceland

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 average cost of moving to Iceland from the United States ranges from $1,750 to $8,000. These prices are based on sea freight, as this is the most common and cost-effective method to ship furniture overseas.

The East Coast is frequently affected by heavy fog, high swells, and severe winds reaching up to 80 meters per second. These conditions complicate port operations, especially the handling of large vessels and the use of cranes.

Shipping to Iceland involves using major carriers (USPS, FedEx, DHL, UPS) or freight forwarders, requiring accurate customs forms (CN23), detailed descriptions, and recipient contact info, with duties/VAT (24%) likely due to a low duty-free threshold (around $15/2,000 ISK), and you must avoid prohibited items like perishables or certain liquids, with air freight for speed and sea freight for bulk.

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.
