Appliances Shipping Cost from San Francisco, California to Maputo

Shipping a 50 lb box generally costs $75 to over $120 for ground services, with carriers like FedEx Ground and UPS Ground often being cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage for heavy items, though prices vary significantly by distance, speed, and if you use discount platforms. For single boxes, services like FedEx Ground might be around $75-$80, while UPS Ground could be $80-$90, and USPS Ground Advantage might be higher, depending on the zone, but discounts can lower these significantly.

The cheapest shipping service depends on your package, but USPS is generally best for lightweight items (under 2 lbs) using services like First-Class Mail or Ground Advantage, while Pirate Ship offers discounted commercial rates for both USPS and UPS/FedEx for potentially better deals on heavier items, and Media Mail is cheapest for eligible media like books. UPS/FedEx can be competitive for heavier packages or when you need speed/reliability, but always compare rates for your specific weight, size, and destination.
