Shipping Cost from San Francisco, California to Santiago

International Shipping rates to Chile from the US F.A.Q. International shipping rates are typically more expensive than domestic shipping rates. This is because of several factors, such as import taxes, customs duties, logistics, and fuel costs involved in delivering shipments overseas.

Shipping from the USA to Spain costs vary wildly, from under $20 for small, light items via budget options like USPS First-Class or consolidators (e.g., Easyship) to $40-$100+ for heavier packages with faster services like UPS/FedEx, with larger shipments (luggage, boxes) often starting around $100-$200+. Key factors are weight, speed (days vs. weeks), and service level, with budget economy (1-2 weeks) being cheapest and express (2-6 days) being faster but pricier.

Shipping a 50 lb package costs roughly $40 to $90 for ground services, varying greatly by distance, carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), speed, and if you use flat rates or discounts, with USPS Ground Advantage often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive cross-country, plus potential surcharges for heavy items. For example, short-haul USPS might be ~$38, while cross-country UPS could reach ~$72 plus fees, or you could find FedEx Ground around $70.
