Furniture Shipping Cost from Frankfurt to Detroit, Michigan

Shipping from Germany to the USA costs anywhere from under €10 for small, slow items up to hundreds for heavy or express freight, with typical small packages around €30-€80 via DHL/FedEx/UPS for 1-5 day delivery, depending heavily on weight, speed (express vs. economy), dimensions, carrier, and if it's commercial/personal; for very heavy or palletized goods, air freight might be $1,400+ while sea freight is cheaper but slower.

Yes, DHL is generally considered a premium, faster, and reliable international courier, making it more expensive than standard postal services like USPS for basic international shipping, but it often offers competitive pricing against other express carriers like FedEx and UPS for fast, tracked, door-to-door service, especially for businesses or high-value items. Costs depend heavily on destination, weight/size, speed, and surcharges, with its strength being speed and strong network in developing markets.

Yes, Germany is still shipping to the US, but new U.S. customs rules (ending the $800 duty-free exemption) caused a temporary suspension of postal services in late 2025; major providers like DHL have since resumed shipping for businesses via special "Delivered Duty Paid" (DDP) services and for individuals sending gifts under $100, requiring advance duty payment and accurate data for commercial goods.
