Question 1

Is it cheaper to drive or ship my car?

Accepted Answer

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

Question 2

Can you import cars into Colombia?

Accepted Answer

When shipping cars to Colombia, the most important thing you have to know is that all cars shipped to Colombia must be BRAND NEW and the latest model year from the manufacturer, so new car “left overs” are not typically permitted.

Question 3

What is the cheapest way to ship a car internationally?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

Question 4

How much does it cost to ship to Colombia?

Accepted Answer

Shipping to Colombia costs vary widely, from under $10 for small items via economy services like Bringer or USPS (starting ~$1.70 for letters) to over $60 for faster express delivery with UPS/FedEx, depending heavily on weight, size, speed (economy vs. express), and carrier, with even small 1lb packages starting around $10-$25, and larger ones costing significantly more. Expect 3-20 days delivery, with express (DHL, FedEx) being 3-6 days and standard (USPS, Asendia) taking 6-15+ days, but remember Colombian addressees often need import licenses.

Question 5

How much does a 20 lb package cost to ship?

Accepted Answer

Shipping a 20 lb package costs roughly $20-$40 for ground services (like UPS Ground or USPS Ground Advantage) for shorter distances, but can range from $30 to over $100+ depending on speed (express is much pricier) and distance, with faster options like FedEx/UPS Next Day Air costing significantly more ($100+) and USPS Priority being a mid-range choice. Expect to pay around $30-$40 for ground, while faster services can double or triple that.

Question 6

Can I ship a laptop to Colombia?

Accepted Answer

Key takeaways. Laptops shipped to Colombia are generally subject to 0–5% import duty plus 19% VAT (IVA), making landed costs significantly higher than purchase price. All shipments require detailed documentation, including the importer's NIT tax ID, and may be delayed without a licensed customs broker.

Question 7

What's the average cost of moving a piano?

Accepted Answer

Moving a piano costs roughly $150-$650 locally and $500-$2,500+ for long distances, depending heavily on the piano's type (grand is more), weight, distance, and obstacles like stairs, which add significant fees. Expect to pay more for larger pianos (concert grands) and complex moves involving many steps or tight spaces, potentially increasing costs to several thousand dollars, while simple upright moves are at the lower end.

Question 8

How much does it cost to ship a piano internationally?

Accepted Answer

A grand piano (weighing between 500 to 1,300 pounds) will cost substantially more to ship than an upright piano (typically weighing 300 to 900 pounds). For instance, shipping a piano internationally can cost up to $5,000, with costs varying based on the type and size of the piano.

Question 9

How to move a 500 lb piano?

Accepted Answer

Moving a 500 lb piano requires preparation, proper equipment (like a heavy-duty dolly, straps, and blankets), and at least two strong people, focusing on slow, controlled movements, protecting the finish with padding, securing the keyboard, and using lifting straps for leverage, especially when navigating stairs or tight corners where it might need to go on its side temporarily. Always use the piano's legs for tilting, lift with your legs, and never rely on the small built-in casters for transport.

Question 10

How much does a 50 lb package cost to ship?

Accepted Answer

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $40 to $130+ for ground services, with FedEx and UPS Ground often being cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage, though costs vary significantly based on distance (zone), speed, and if you use discounted rates through third-party platforms. For short distances, expect lower costs (around $40-$80), while cross-country shipments will be higher.

Question 11

Question 12
