Question 1

Is it cheaper to drive or ship a car?

Accepted Answer

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances (under 500 miles), but for long cross-country moves (over 1,000 miles), shipping can become comparable or even cheaper when factoring in your time, food, lodging, and significant vehicle wear-and-tear, making driving less cost-effective despite lower upfront gas costs. The decision balances direct fuel savings against the hidden costs and time commitment of a long drive, with shipping offering convenience and preserving your car's mileage and condition.

Question 2

How much to ship a car 3,000 miles?

Accepted Answer

Shipping a car 3000 miles typically costs $1,200 to over $2,000, varying widely by carrier, time of year, and transport type, with open transport being cheaper ($1,250-$1,800) than enclosed ($1,600-$2,000+), but always get specific quotes as prices decrease per mile for longer hauls.

Question 3

Is it cheaper to ship a car by train or truck?

Accepted Answer

It's often cheaper to ship a car by train, especially for long distances on specific routes like Amtrak's Auto Train (DC to Florida), offering enclosed protection for potentially less than an open truck carrier; however, for general cross-country moves not on Amtrak routes, truck (open carrier) is usually the most economical, though trains offer better protection and environmental benefits if available.

Question 4

How much does shipping cost from Italy to the US?

Accepted Answer

Express Shipping from Italy to the US
 As a rule of thumb, at about $5 per kilo, express freight is the cheapest shipping mode for packages or small shipments up to about 150 kg. But watch out, some couriers will charge an astronomical amount if you are not a registered customer.

Question 5

How much does a 20 lb package cost to ship?

Accepted Answer

Shipping a 20 lb package typically costs $20-$40 for domestic ground services, but prices vary significantly by carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), distance (zones), speed, and discounts; expect more for express services or international shipping, while USPS Ground Advantage and UPS Ground Saver offer lower rates, especially for heavier items. For the best price, compare rates on carrier sites or through discount platforms like Parcel Monkey and Pirate Ship, as costs jump considerably over 20 lbs for some services.
