Appliances Shipping Cost from Yokohama to Louisville, Kentucky

In general, for an appliance shipping service, you can expect to pay around $1.81 per mile for shorter trips and $0.59 per mile for longer journeys.

Shipping from Japan to the US varies widely, from around $20-$40 for small, light items (like books/planners) via slower methods (SAL/Airmail) to potentially hundreds for heavy or urgent packages, with costs depending on weight, size, speed (EMS, Air, Surface, DHL/FedEx), and current service availability, as Japan Post suspended some services to the US in late 2025. Expect to pay more for faster services like EMS or DHL, while surface mail is cheapest but takes months.

Shipping from Japan to the US takes anywhere from 1-5 days for express air freight (like DHL/FedEx) to 2-4 weeks for standard airmail, and even longer (1-3 months) for the cheapest surface mail, with ocean freight falling in the middle at 2-4 weeks to the West Coast and longer for the East Coast, heavily depending on the chosen carrier and customs clearance.
