Shipping Cost from Doha to San Diego, California

Shipping a 50-pound box typically costs between $40 and $130+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (FedEx Ground, UPS Ground, or USPS Ground Advantage are common choices), and any discounts, with FedEx often slightly cheaper for heavy items, while USPS can be good for shorter distances. For faster options, expect costs to jump significantly to over $100, sometimes much more.

The cheapest way to ship heavy items usually involves comparing UPS Ground, FedEx Ground, and USPS Parcel Select/Ground Advantage for domestic shipments, often finding UPS or FedEx cheaper for heavier (70-150 lbs) packages, while USPS excels for lighter heavy items (under 20 lbs) and has flat-rate options up to 70 lbs; for very heavy or palletized items, freight shipping (LTL) via FedEx Freight, UPS Freight (now TForce Freight), or DHL Freight is most economical, leveraging platforms like PirateShip for discounted rates. Always compare real-time quotes as prices vary by weight, size, distance, and carrier surcharges.
