Furniture Shipping Cost from Osaka to Phoenix, Arizona

Shipping from Japan to the US varies wildly by weight, speed, and carrier, but expect anywhere from $20-$40 for small, light items (under 1kg) via slower methods like Airmail/SAL to $50+ for heavier parcels or express services (EMS/DHL/FedEx), with small packets starting around $25-$30 for 1-2 weeks delivery, and EMS offering 3-6 day service for roughly $30+ for 1kg. Japan Post is generally cheaper for weight-based shipping, while private carriers (DHL/FedEx) use size/weight (volumetric) pricing.

Shipping a 50 lb package costs roughly $40 to $90 for ground services, varying greatly by distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use flat rates or discounts, with USPS Ground Advantage often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive cross-country, plus potential surcharges for heavy items. For example, short-haul USPS might be ~$38, while cross-country UPS could reach ~$72 plus fees, or you could find FedEx Ground around $70.

To ship a single piece of furniture across long distances, choose a parcel carrier like UPS or USPS for small items. For larger pieces, such as beds or sofas, consider a freight service offering LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping —it's cost-effective, and your furniture will be transported with other loads.
