Furniture Shipping Cost from Ulaanbaatar to Anchorage, Alaska

Shipping to Anchorage, Alaska, costs vary significantly by carrier, speed, weight, and size, with common carriers like USPS (often best for small/light items), UPS, and FedEx offering ground (cheaper, slower, 4-7 days) or air (faster, pricier, 1-3 days) options, plus specialized freight services like ShipToAlaska, so using online comparison tools or getting quotes from USPS, UPS, and FedEx is key for accurate pricing.

FCL shipping is ideal when you're moving large quantities. A 20-foot container typically ranges from $2,000–$3,500, while a 40-foot container may cost between $3,500–$6,000 in 2025, depending on the route and demand.

Shipping to Alaska is expensive due to its extreme geographic remoteness, requiring long-distance transport via costly air or sea routes, rugged terrain, harsh weather, and the need for specialized logistics, plus recent port tariff increases in Anchorage, all adding significant fuel, handling, and surcharges compared to the contiguous U.S.
