Appliances Shipping Cost from Amman to Zurich

Is shipping internationally expensive? International shipping rates are typically more expensive than domestic shipping rates. This is because of several factors, such as import taxes, customs duties, logistics, and fuel costs involved in delivering shipments overseas.

Shipping to Switzerland costs vary widely, from around $20-$30 for lightweight items via budget services (like Asendia or USPS First Class) to $40-$100+ for heavier parcels or faster options (FedEx, UPS, DHL), depending on speed, weight, and courier; expect faster, pricier services (2-5 days, ~$130+) versus slower, cheaper ones (1-3 weeks, ~$20-$70). Be aware of potential Swiss VAT (7.7%) and duties (avg. 3.5%) on imports over CHF 300.

UPS's standard package weight limit is 150 lbs (68 kg), with specific services like Ground Saver at 70 lbs, but packages over 70 lbs need special handling and extra fees, while anything over 150 lbs typically moves to freight shipping, requiring strong packaging like stitched boxes.
