Shipping from Illinois to Germany

Shipping from the US to Germany costs anywhere from under $20 for small, slow packages (like USPS First Class) to $50-$100+ for faster courier services (FedEx, UPS, DHL), depending heavily on weight, dimensions, speed (days vs. weeks), and carrier, with budget options like MyUS or Easyship showing rates like $10-$20 for light items (1-4 lbs, 1-2 weeks) and premium services starting around $40-$70+ for quick delivery.

DHL Express Worldwide is one of the fastest shipping services when sending a 5-pound package from the US to Germany, and takes 1-4 days on average to have your package delivered. Shipping from the US to Germany can take up to 16 days when sending the same 5-pound package via economy shipping services.

The USPS flat rate shipping option could potentially be the cheapest way to ship your parcels from the United States to Germany. But the exact cost of the shipment depends on the size of the items as their rates differ depending on the size of the box that you choose (Small, Medium, Large).

Almost all shipments crossing international borders are subject to duty and tax assessment, with customs officials basing this on information provided on the commercial invoice and other relevant documents. Payment to the authorities must be met before the shipments are released from customs.
