Appliances Shipping Cost from Glendale, Arizona to Cairo

Shipping from the USA to Egypt involves choosing between fast but pricey air freight (2-6 days) or slower, cheaper ocean freight (weeks), using carriers like DHL, FedEx, UPS, or USPS for smaller parcels, and being aware of mandatory Egyptian customs rules, especially the Advanced Cargo Information (ACI) system for commercial shipments, requiring registration via CargoX/Nafeza for ACID numbers on documents. Options range from budget (USPS First Class) to express (DHL Express, UPS Worldwide Saver).

Defrost refrigerators at least 24 hours ahead of time. Remove and pack all shelves and drawers separately. Clean and pack ovens, all racks, knobs, and grills separately. Washers and dryers should have their hoses removed and packed by themselves — with the dryer's drum properly secured.

To ship a washer and dryer, you need to prepare it by cleaning, disconnecting utilities, and securing the drum (especially for washers with shipping bolts ), then protect it with blankets/foam, and finally arrange shipping via a specialized LTL freight carrier or marketplace like uShip, ensuring it's crated or palletized, strapped securely, and clearly labeled for safe, cost-effective transport, often as Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight.
