Appliances Shipping Cost from Istanbul to Port Moresby

The cheapest way to ship from Turkey to the USA is usually sea freight (ocean freight) for bulk/heavy items, though it's slow (weeks), using LCL (Less than Container Load) to share space. For smaller packages, compare carriers like FedEx, UPS, and USPS (especially Flat Rate boxes for heavy items fitting inside), often finding discounts via platforms like ParcelABC or Take and Ship for better rates than standard post, while services like Yollando help consolidate purchases for better per-item cost.
