Appliances Shipping Cost from Sumter, South Carolina to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

To calculate UPS shipping costs, use the official UPS website, providing origin/destination ZIP codes, package weight, and dimensions (L x W x H); UPS uses the greater of actual weight or dimensional weight (calculated by dividing L x W x H by a factor like 139 for daily rates), plus factors like service level (Ground, Express) and surcharges (residential delivery, fuel) to determine the final price, with online tools offering quick estimates but in-store or account rates potentially varying.

Outer Packaging: Place the appliance in a sturdy cardboard box slightly larger than the appliance itself. Palletization: Place the boxed appliance on a pallet that fits the dimensions without any overhang on any side.

The cheapest way to ship a 20 lb package is usually USPS Ground Advantage for lighter, slower needs or potentially UPS/FedEx Ground with online discounts for heavier, faster ground shipping, depending on distance and dimensions; always compare rates on shipping platforms like Easyship or Pirate Ship to find the best price for your specific situation, as costs vary significantly.
