Appliances Shipping Cost from Hanoi to Oslo

Shipping to Norway costs vary widely from about $25 for a light, slow parcel (1 lb) to over $100 for heavier/faster options, depending heavily on weight, speed, and courier, but expect extra import duties/VAT for your recipient, potentially adding significant cost, especially if the item value plus shipping exceeds ~900 NOK (approx. $90 USD). Budget options like Budget Economy (USPS/MyUS) start cheap, while FedEx / DHL are faster and pricier, with UPS offering mid-range solutions.

Shipping from Vietnam takes anywhere from 1-4 days via express courier to 20-40+ days by sea freight, depending heavily on the speed (air vs. sea), destination (US West vs. East Coast), and service type (door-to-door vs. port-to-port). Air freight is faster (3-8 days) but costly, ideal for small, urgent goods, while sea freight is cheaper for large, bulk items but takes weeks.

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.
