Appliances Shipping Cost from St. Paul, Minnesota to Lusaka

Shipping to Africa from the USA varies wildly, from ~$20-$60 for small, light packages via USPS/budget couriers (weeks/months) to $100s for faster services (FedEx/UPS), and much cheaper per pound for large cargo via ocean freight ($0.50-$1.20/kg), depending heavily on destination (South Africa vs. Kenya), speed, size, weight, and chosen carrier like FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, or freight forwarders.

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.

No, Amazon does not reliably offer direct shipping to Zambia for most items ; many sellers don't ship there directly due to logistical issues like address clarity and missing parcels, but you can use a freight forwarder (like ShipToBox, MyUS, ColisExpat) or a package forwarding service to get items from the US or Europe to Zambia by getting a local US/UK address first. Some specific items might ship, so checking your Zambian address in the Amazon app helps, but using a forwarding service is the most common solution.
