Shipping Cost from Shenzhen to Guatemala City

International Shipping rates to Guatemala 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.

The cheapest way to ship to Guatemala depends on weight and speed, but generally, USPS First-Class Package International is best for small, light items (under 4 lbs). For heavier packages, use USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate if items fit, otherwise compare FedEx & UPS (with online discounts). Local "envíos" or "encomiendas" services in areas with large Hispanic populations are often very cheap for larger items by weight, charging around $8/lb and handling customs.
