Shipping from Hawaii to Singapore

Shipping to Singapore costs vary widely from around $10-$25 for small, slow parcels (USPS First Class/Economy) to $40-$80+ for faster services (UPS/DHL Express), depending heavily on weight, dimensions, speed (days vs. weeks), and carrier, with larger or urgent packages being significantly more expensive, and ocean freight for bulk goods priced per cubic meter.

On average, economy shipping from the US to Singapore takes 6-15 business days. Of course, you can pay extra for expedited delivery in 2 days, but these rates will be significantly higher.

No, Hawaii is a U.S. state, so shipping there is technically domestic, not international, but it's treated like a special zone due to its geography, often requiring air transport and incurring higher costs, leading many sellers to exclude it or use services like USPS which has comparable rates to the mainland. While USPS treats it as domestic, other carriers (UPS/FedEx) and online platforms often categorize it as "international" or charge significant surcharges, requiring specific shipping settings.

The cheapest way to ship internationally from the USA is typically USPS First-Class Package International Service (FCPIS) for lightweight items (under 4 lbs), offering rates from around $17.85, while USPS First-Class Mail International (for letters/postcards) is cheapest for documents. For slightly heavier or larger parcels, compare services like FedEx International Connect Plus, DHL eCommerce, or using platforms like Easyship, ShipStation, and Global Shopaholics to find discounts on carriers like FedEx and UPS.

Shipping from the US to Singapore costs vary widely, from around $20-$30 for light items (USPS First Class, 1-4 lbs) to $40-$70+ for faster services (UPS, DHL, FedEx Express) taking 2-4 days, while heavier or bulk freight starts higher (e.g., $100+ for sea freight LCL ), with costs depending on weight, speed, and carrier. Expect $20-$60 for standard tracked packages ( USPS Priority, 6-10 days) and $30-$65 for balanced options ( FedEx Economy, 4-9 days).

For the absolute cheapest shipping to Singapore, especially for light items (under 2 lbs), USPS First-Class Mail International is usually the winner, but for slightly heavier or time-sensitive packages, compare rates from aggregators like Easyship/Parcel Monkey or consider budget carriers like SF Express (Economy) or UPS Worldwide Expedited, balancing cost with delivery speed (expect 1-4 weeks for economy, days for express).
