Furniture Shipping Cost from Istanbul to Austin, Texas

The cheapest way to ship from Turkey to the USA is usually sea freight (ocean freight) for large/heavy cargo (LCL/FCL), taking weeks but costing much less than air freight, while for smaller packages, using a parcel forwarding service like Take & Ship or Yollando to consolidate items and get discounted rates with couriers like DHL/FedEx is often cheapest and fastest (days). For very small items, compare USPS Flat Rate (if it fits) versus FedEx/UPS Ground, which can be cheaper for heavier items.

Shipping from Turkey to the USA typically takes a few days to several weeks, depending heavily on the method: Air freight (express services like FedEx/DHL) is fastest (1-5 business days for packages), while sea freight (ocean cargo) is much slower (2-4 weeks or more) but cheaper for large/heavy items, with customs clearance adding variability.

Shipping from Turkey to the United States by air can cost between $3.25 to $3.5 per kilogram (kg) for partial air cargo transportation for cargo weighing over 250 kg. The delivery time typically ranges from 1 to 3 days.
