Shipping from Texas to San Marino

Shipping from the USA to Italy can cost anywhere from $15 for small, slow packages (USPS First-Class) to $70+ for fast, tracked couriers (DHL/FedEx/UPS), depending heavily on speed, weight, and size; budget options like USPS or Asendia take weeks but cost under $30, while expedited services (FedEx, UPS, DHL) offer 1-5 day delivery for $40-$100+, with flat-rate envelopes providing value for documents.

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.

Standard air freight between Italy and the US generally takes around 8-10 days.

To get to San Marino, a tiny country landlocked by Italy, you fly into a nearby Italian airport (like Bologna BLQ or Rimini RMI), take a train to Rimini, and then catch the frequent Bonelli bus (about 50 mins) or drive from Rimini, as there's no airport or direct train to San Marino itself. Driving from Italy is also easy, with the SS72 highway leading right in, but buses from Rimini are the most common budget-friendly option, with tickets sold at a tobacco shop near the station.
