Appliances Shipping Cost from Rome to Austin, Texas

Shipping from Italy to the USA costs vary widely, from around $30 for small USPS flat-rate items to potentially hundreds or thousands of dollars for heavier/larger cargo, depending on speed (express air vs. sea freight), weight/volume, and carrier (FedEx, DHL, UPS, postal service). Expect €30-€40 for small parcels with FedEx, while heavier items (5-20kg) might cost €45-€160+. Sea freight is cheaper for large items but much slower than air.

Defrost refrigerators at least 24 hours ahead of time. Remove and pack all shelves and drawers separately. Clean and pack ovens, all racks, knobs, and grills separately. Washers and dryers should have their hoses removed and packed by themselves — with the dryer's drum properly secured.

Shipping from Italy to the USA takes 1-3 days for express air (FedEx, DHL), 2-8 days for standard air freight, and 6-10+ business days for postal services (USPS Priority Mail), while ocean freight can take 4-6 weeks or more, with actual times varying greatly by carrier, service level (express vs. economy), customs clearance, and time of year.
