Shipping from Virginia to Guinea-Bissau

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 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.

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.

International shipping rates vary widely based on carrier, speed, weight, dimensions, and destination, with USPS First-Class Package being cheapest for light items (starting ~$18), while DHL/FedEx/UPS Express offer fast, premium service (1-3 days) but cost more (e.g., ~$90+ for 3lb to UK). For small businesses, comparing services like USPS, FedEx International Connect Plus, and DHL via platforms like Shippo or Easyship can yield significant discounts, with costs often starting around $17-$40 for small packages.
