Furniture Shipping Cost from Santo Domingo to Tokyo

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.

The cheapest way to ship to Japan usually involves USPS First-Class Package International for small, light items (<4 lbs) and slower delivery, or USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate for heavier or larger parcels, offering fixed prices regardless of weight. For heavy items, sea freight (if time isn't an issue) is cheapest, while comparing rates on platforms like Easyship or Parcel Monkey for major carriers (FedEx, DHL, UPS) can find deals.

The cheapest shipping company depends on your package, but USPS is usually cheapest for small, light items (under 1lb) with services like Ground Advantage or Flat Rate, while UPS & FedEx often beat USPS for heavier packages (over 5lbs), especially with commercial discounts, though they add surcharges. For best rates, use platforms like ShipStation or Pirate Ship to compare real-time prices across carriers, as they offer commercial discounts that beat retail rates.
