Shipping from New York State to Slovenia

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.

USPS is definitely the cheapest way to ship to SVK from the US. The only other (better) option is fly on over and put it in your suitcase. :-) Pro Tip: do NOT put insurance on it from USPS or it will be flagged by Slovak Customs and could take weeks to clear (and likely they'll charge a customs & import tax).

Very generally, your national postal service will be the cheapest way to ship internationally. The Universal Postal Union has been in place since 1874 reliably transferring documents and goods to over 190 nations. One interesting sidelight.

USPS is generally cheaper for small, lightweight international packages, using services like First-Class Package International, while UPS becomes more cost-effective for larger, heavier, or high-value shipments, offering faster speeds, better tracking, and more reliable customs handling, though often with higher base costs and potential brokerage fees. Your best bet is to compare rates on both carriers' sites or through a shipping platform, as prices depend heavily on package specifics (weight, dimensions, destination) and speed needed.
