Appliances Shipping Cost from Ulaanbaatar to Anchorage, Alaska

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.

Shipping to Alaska is expensive due to its extreme geographic remoteness, requiring long-distance transport via costly air or sea routes, rugged terrain, harsh weather, and the need for specialized logistics, plus recent port tariff increases in Anchorage, all adding significant fuel, handling, and surcharges compared to the contiguous U.S.

Shipping from China to the USA varies wildly, from ~$20 for small parcels via express (3-5 days) to $2,500-$6,000+ for full containers (15-40 days), with air freight around $5-$8/kg for urgent/mid-sized cargo. The best choice depends on weight, speed, and budget: express couriers (DHL/FedEx/UPS) for small/urgent items, air freight for bulk but time-sensitive goods, and sea freight (LCL/FCL) for large, non-urgent shipments.
