Appliances Shipping Cost from Istanbul to Washington, District of Columbia

Shipping from Turkey to the USA varies widely by speed and weight, from around $13-$20 for small parcels (1-2kg) via express to much less per kg for large air cargo ($3.25-$3.5/kg over 250kg), with sea freight being cheapest but slowest (weeks). Expect costs for typical e-commerce packages (1-10kg) to range from $10-$100+, while heavier or bulk items use freight, with express options like DHL/FedEx costing more but delivering in days, versus slower postal services or sea freight.

The cheapest way to ship from Turkey to USA is considered shipping by sea. However, this method will take a long time. On average, delivery takes about 3-4 weeks. Shipping by air is more expensive, but the goods will be delivered within a few days.
