Appliances Shipping Cost from Fort Worth, Texas to Luanda

Shipping from the USA to Nigeria varies widely in cost, from around $10 for small packages via USPS to hundreds or thousands for larger cargo, depending heavily on speed (days vs. weeks), carrier (USPS, FedEx, DHL, or freight forwarders), weight, size, and if you need door-to-door service, with major factors being air freight (faster, pricier) vs. ocean freight (slower, cheaper for bulk), plus potential Nigerian customs duties/taxes (5% VAT + more). Expect smaller air packages to start at $80+, while large pallets by air might be $3-$4+ per lb, and large ocean shipments (like cars/containers) can be thousands.

The cheapest way to ship a package in the USA generally involves using the USPS, especially for small, light items with First-Class Mail or Ground Advantage, while for heavier or larger items, USPS Ground Advantage, UPS Ground, or FedEx Ground offer competitive rates, with Media Mail being the absolute cheapest for eligible media like books. Always compare rates based on your package's weight, dimensions, and destination, often using online calculators for the best price.

The international shipping rates for FedEx and UPS will vary depending on the size of your package, the destination and the speed of service required, but in general, FedEx tends to be a bit cheaper than UPS for shipping overseas. However, there's much more to it than just price.
