Appliances Shipping Cost from San Francisco, California to Quito

First-Class Mail International is our most affordable option for sending postcards, letters, and flats (large envelopes) to about 180 countries.

Shipping a 20 lb package costs roughly $20-$40 for ground services (like UPS Ground or USPS Ground Advantage) for shorter distances, but can range from $30 to over $100+ depending on speed (express is much pricier) and distance, with faster options like FedEx/UPS Next Day Air costing significantly more ($100+) and USPS Priority being a mid-range choice. Expect to pay around $30-$40 for ground, while faster services can double or triple that.

Yes, you can ship electronics internationally, but it requires careful attention to lithium batteries, specific carrier rules (like DHL, FedEx, USPS), proper packing ( fragile ), accurate customs forms, and potentially voltage/plug adapters for the destination country. The main challenge is lithium batteries, which are considered hazardous materials (HAZMAT) and have strict air transport rules, sometimes requiring ground shipping or specific labeling.
