Shipping from North Carolina to Bolivia

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.

What is the Difference Between UPS and USPS? Generally, USPS is designed to ship smaller packages and mail quickly and cost-effectively, while UPS is more affordable for shipping larger parcels worldwide.

No, Amazon.com does not directly ship most items to Bolivia, but you can use third-party package forwarding services like Global Shopaholics or ColisExpat to receive your orders, or find limited direct shipping for certain products via Amazon's AmazonGlobal program by checking shipping options at checkout. These services give you a US address, receive your Amazon items, and then forward them to Bolivia, handling customs and offering package consolidation for savings.
