Furniture Shipping Cost from Yokohama to San Antonio, Texas

Shipping from Japan to the US varies wildly, from around $20-$30 for small items (under 1kg) via Japan Post (EMS/Airmail) to $60+ for heavier or faster options, depending on weight, size, speed (days vs. months), and carrier ( Japan Post, DHL, FedEx ), with costs increasing significantly for larger/heavier packages (e.g., 2kg+), with Japan Post generally cheaper but slower than private couriers like DHL/FedEx.

Shipping a 50-pound box costs roughly $40 to $130+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (FedEx Ground/UPS Ground often cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage), and if you use discounts or flat rates. For short distances, it might be ~$40-$70, while cross-country can reach $75-$130+, plus potential $28+ handling fees from UPS/FedEx for heavy items.

Yes, you can absolutely order items from Japan to the US, using direct shipping from sellers or package forwarding services like tenso.com or forward2me, but be aware of recent US customs changes (early 2025) that mean most imported goods, even small ones, might now face tariffs and extra fees, requiring services like DHL/FedEx or postal options (if available) for delivery.
