Furniture Shipping Cost from Tokyo to Houston, Texas

Shipping from Japan to USA pricing At about $3 per kilo, standard air freight is the cheapest option for shipments between about 150 kilos and 500 kg. Very light shipments for their size might be charged on dimensional weight, rather than actual weight.

Shipping from Japan to the US varies from a few days to several weeks, depending on the method: express air (DHL, FedEx, EMS) takes 1-7 days, standard air (Airmail, SAL) 1-6 weeks, while ocean freight can range from 2-8 weeks (15-30 days to West Coast, longer to East Coast). Expect faster delivery with pricier air cargo and slower, cheaper options for sea freight, with customs clearance adding time.

If you need to ship to the US, you should use Yamato, DHL, UPS, FedEx, or some other private carrier. If that is not practical, refund your customers and cancel their orders. You can't control the USPS and this is not likely to get cleared up soon.
