Appliances Shipping Cost from Ho Chi Minh City to Santiago

International Shipping rates to Chile from the US F.A.Q. International shipping rates are typically more expensive than domestic shipping rates. This is because of several factors, such as import taxes, customs duties, logistics, and fuel costs involved in delivering shipments overseas.

Shipping from Vietnam to the US varies greatly by method: Air freight takes about 3-8 days, while sea freight (ocean cargo) ranges from roughly 20-40+ days, depending on port, destination coast (West Coast is faster), and container type (FCL vs. LCL). For extreme speed, express couriers (DHL, FedEx) can deliver in 1-4 days, while slower sea freight to the East Coast can take over 40 days.

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.
