Appliances Shipping Cost from Cotonou to Hanoi

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.

Shipping costs vary by method, weight, volume, and delivery urgency. Air freight: $6–$12/kg — ideal for small, urgent shipments (5–10 days). Sea freight (LCL/FCL): $250–$350 per CBM or $1,500–$3,000 per container, best for bulk orders (15–30 days).

Most freight forwarders will offer $11-12 per kg to the USA, depending on how quickly you need it. Insurance and customs / duty may cost more. Just label the stuff as personal belongings and you should be fine.
