Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Bangkok to Long Beach, California

Shipping from Thailand to the USA costs vary wildly, from around $30 for small, light USPS envelopes to potentially hundreds of dollars for heavier parcels, with private couriers like DHL, FedEx, and UPS offering express air freight starting from roughly $10-$15/kg for bulkier shipments (e.g., $15.55/kg for 100kg) but higher per-kg rates for smaller ones. Key factors are weight/size, speed (air vs. sea), and carrier, with private couriers being the primary reliable option as Thailand Post suspended direct parcel service to the US in August 2025, and new US tariffs add complexity.

Shipping a package from Thailand to the USA varies greatly by speed: Express couriers (DHL, FedEx) take 1-5 days, Air Mail (USPS Priority) is about 7-14 days, while slower Sea Freight can take 30-60+ days, with customs and provider choice being major factors.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.
