Shipping Cost from Maputo to Yokohama

Shipping to Japan costs vary widely, from around $20-$30 for small, light items (1-2 lbs) via economy services (USPS First-Class, DHL Standard) to $100+ for heavier packages or faster options (FedEx, UPS Express, USPS Priority Express), depending on speed, weight, and carrier. Expect roughly $30-$60 for typical small parcels (under 4 lbs) with mid-range speeds (weeks) and $90-$200+ for quick 2-5 day delivery, with USPS generally cheaper for small items and premium carriers for speed.

Luggage forwarding in Japan (Takuhaibin) is surprisingly affordable, typically costing ¥1,500 to ¥3,000 (around $10-$20 USD) for a standard suitcase between major cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, with prices varying by size, weight, and distance, often arriving next-day via services like Yamato Transport (Kuroneko) or JAL ABC. Larger bags or longer distances cost more, but it's a reliable, convenient way to travel hands-free, with most hotels helping you arrange it.

Yamato Transport's luggage forwarding ( TA-Q-BIN ) makes travel in Japan hands-free by delivering your large bags ahead to hotels, airports, or other locations, usually with next-day service, letting you travel light on trains. You drop off luggage at hotels, convenience stores, or Yamato offices, fill out a purple waybill with the destination address (hotel, airport, etc.) and desired delivery date, pay, and it arrives by the next day, often with options for same-day delivery to certain areas or for specific items like skis/golf clubs.
