Appliances Shipping Cost from Yokohama to Tulsa, Oklahoma

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.

The cheapest way to ship from Japan to the USA is usually Japan Post's Surface Mail, a slow sea freight option taking 1-3 months but costing significantly less, ideal for large, non-urgent items. For smaller, lighter items, Japan Post's "Small Packet" (under 2kg) is also very economical, though still slow (weeks to a month). Always compare Japan Post with private carriers like Yamato Transport (Kuroneko) for heavy or large items, as sometimes they offer better rates, and check current availability for slower services like SAL (Surface Air Lift).

Shipping from Japan to the US varies drastically by method, from 2-5 days via express air (DHL, FedEx, EMS) for fast, small items, to 1-3 weeks for standard Airmail/SAL, and 1-3 months for the slowest Sea Mail/Surface Freight, with customs delays adding unpredictability. Faster methods are pricier but quicker; ocean freight is best for large/heavy goods but takes weeks/months.
