Appliances Shipping Cost from Osaka to Columbus, Ohio

Express Shipping from Japan to the US As a rule of thumb, at about $5 per kilo, express freight is the cheapest shipping mode for packages or small shipments up to about 150 kg. But watch out, some couriers will charge an astronomical amount if you are not a registered customer.

Shipping from Japan to the US varies wildly, from 1-4 days for express air freight (FedEx, DHL) to 2-6 weeks for slower airmail/SAL, and 1-3 months for the cheapest ocean/surface mail, depending heavily on speed, cost, and carrier. Faster options like FedEx Priority or Japan Post EMS offer quick delivery (days), while standard services like Airmail or SAL take weeks, and Seamail can take months for budget shipping.

The cheapest way to ship 50 lbs usually involves USPS Ground Advantage, FedEx Ground, or UPS Ground, with costs varying by distance and speed; check both carrier rates and consider using online discount platforms like Pirate Ship or Parcel Monkey, and look into USPS Flat Rate if your item fits in a large Priority Mail box (up to 70 lbs) for fixed pricing.
