Shipping from Vermont to Burundi

Shipping to Africa from the USA varies wildly, from ~$20 for small, slow USPS packages to $100s for faster couriers or large freight, depending heavily on weight, speed (days vs. weeks), and specific African country/city, with options like USPS (cheapest/slowest), DHL/FedEx/UPS (fast/pricier), and ocean freight (bulk/cheapest per kg). Expect under $50 for a 1-2 lb package via economy, while a 25lb box could be $170-$300+ depending on the carrier and service.

Shipping a 50 lb package costs roughly $40 to $90 for ground services, varying greatly by distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use flat rates or discounts, with USPS Ground Advantage often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive cross-country, plus potential surcharges for heavy items. For example, short-haul USPS might be ~$38, while cross-country UPS could reach ~$72 plus fees, or you could find FedEx Ground around $70.

The cheapest carrier depends on your package's weight, size, and destination. For lightweight domestic packages, USPS is usually the most affordable. For heavier or bulk shipments, UPS and FedEx may offer better rates, while DHL often provides competitive prices for international deliveries.

Crime Risks While foreigners are not typically targeted for violent crime, carjackings and theft are common, especially outside major cities like Gitega and Bujumbura. Non-violent crimes, such as bag-snatching and pickpocketing, are frequent in crowded places.

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $40 to $80+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use your own box or flat-rate options, with USPS often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive for longer hauls, though expect added handling fees for over 50 lbs. Expect around $38-$65 (USPS Ground), $42-$72 (UPS Ground), or $41-$70 (FedEx Ground) for typical cross-country routes, plus potential surcharges.
