Appliances Shipping Cost from Chicago, Illinois to Osaka

Air cargo from Chicago, IL to Tokyo While 90% of everything is shipped by ocean freight, air freight connects the world faster, cutting United States - Japan freight shipping time from 20-30 days by ocean to only three days by air cargo.

US to Japan shipping costs vary widely, from around $20-$30 for small, light items (under 1 lb) via USPS First-Class (slow) to $100+ for heavier packages (5-10 lbs), with express options like FedEx/UPS/DHL costing $50-$250+ depending on speed, while budget services like ePacket or Parcel Monkey offer rates starting from $26 for 1kg (2.2 lbs) with slower delivery. Key factors are weight, size, chosen carrier, and speed (days vs. weeks).

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.
