Shipping Cost from Tbilisi to Detroit, Michigan

Shipping a 20 lb package can cost from around $20 to over $100, depending heavily on the carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), distance, speed (Ground vs. Express), and if you use discounts or flat-rate options; expect roughly $20-$40 for Ground (USPS Ground Advantage, UPS Ground) and potentially $100+ for faster services, with USPS often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive for heavier or faster shipments.

Rules of thumbs for lead times (in regular conditions) are 1-2 weeks for regular post, 3 days for air express freight, 8-10 days for air freight, and 30-40 days for ocean freight. On top of that, port congestion, customs delays, and bad weather condition affect sea freight more than they do for air freight.

To calculate shipping costs, determine your total expenses (materials + carrier fees + labor/handling) and add them to the base postage, factoring in package weight, dimensions, origin, destination, and speed, often by using carrier calculators like USPS postcalc.usps.com or UPS for real-time quotes or by averaging costs for flat-rate options.
