Shipping Cost from Seoul to Lima

Shipping from Korea to the USA varies wildly in price, from around $20-$50 for small, slow postal packages (Korea Post/USPS) to $100-$200+ for faster courier services (DHL/FedEx/UPS) or heavier items (Air Freight), and potentially thousands for large commercial sea freight. Costs depend on weight, dimensions, speed (air vs. sea), and carrier, with air being faster but pricier than ocean, though small items can be cheaper by air.

Essentially, shipping from Korea is not expensive in itself, but it is international shipping that is expensive. In fact, Korea is considered one of the least expensive Asian countries for shipping.

Shipping from Korea to the US takes days to weeks for air freight, depending on speed (e.g., 2-8 days for cargo, 3-10 for express mail like EMS), while sea freight takes significantly longer, from 2-3 weeks to over a month, with LCL (Less than Container Load) often 3-5 weeks and FCL (Full Container Load) potentially 6-8+ weeks, plus customs delays, making total transit time highly variable.
