Appliances Shipping Cost from Maputo to Austin, Texas

Shipping a 50 lb package costs roughly $40 to $90 for ground services, varying greatly by distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use flat rates or discounts, with USPS Ground Advantage often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive cross-country, plus potential surcharges for heavy items. For example, short-haul USPS might be ~$38, while cross-country UPS could reach ~$72 plus fees, or you could find FedEx Ground around $70.

The cheapest shipping company depends on your package, but USPS is usually cheapest for small, light items (under 1lb) with services like Ground Advantage or Flat Rate, while UPS & FedEx often beat USPS for heavier packages (over 5lbs), especially with commercial discounts, though they add surcharges. For best rates, use platforms like ShipStation or Pirate Ship to compare real-time prices across carriers, as they offer commercial discounts that beat retail rates.

Shipping a 55-inch TV costs anywhere from $100 to over $300+, depending heavily on distance, carrier (UPS, FedEx, USPS), speed, weight (30-70 lbs), and how well you pack it, with professional packing adding significant cost, but DIY packing using specific TV boxes and foam essential for safe delivery. Expect higher rates for faster shipping or longer distances, with specialized freight or blanket services potentially cheaper for very long hauls, but requiring more effort.
