Shipping Cost from Istanbul to Raleigh, North Carolina

The cheapest way to ship from Turkey to the USA is usually sea freight (ocean freight) for large/heavy cargo (LCL/FCL), taking weeks but costing much less than air freight, while for smaller packages, using a parcel forwarding service like Take & Ship or Yollando to consolidate items and get discounted rates with couriers like DHL/FedEx is often cheapest and fastest (days). For very small items, compare USPS Flat Rate (if it fits) versus FedEx/UPS Ground, which can be cheaper for heavier items.

Shipping from Turkey to the USA typically takes a few days to several weeks, depending heavily on the method: Air freight (express services like FedEx/DHL) is fastest (1-5 business days for packages), while sea freight (ocean cargo) is much slower (2-4 weeks or more) but cheaper for large/heavy items, with customs clearance adding variability.

Shipping from the USA to Turkey varies greatly, with small, light packages starting around $15-$30 for slower services (like USPS First Class/ePacket), while faster options (DHL, FedEx Priority) for heavier items can range from $40 to over $100, depending on carrier, weight, size, and speed. For large freight or vehicles, costs jump significantly, with ocean freight for containers starting around $900-$1000+.
