The cost of shipping to USA will depend on the type and size of your shipment, and whether it is shipped by sea or air. For shipments sent by sea the shipping cost will also depend on whether your goods are shipped as a part load or a full load shipment.

Air shipping costs to USA are based on a combination of the dimensions and weight of your consignment. It is important that this information is accurate in order for us to prepare an exact quotation for your air shipping costs.

Sea shipping to USA can be on either a full load or part load basis. For goods sent as a full load, shipping costs are based on a lump sum for an entire shipping container, and will not vary, no matter how full or empty the container is. For goods sent as a part load, the shipping cost will depend upon the amount of space your goods take up in the container. It is therefore important that you have accurate sizes of your goods for shipment so we can prepare an accurate quotation for your shipping costs.

Items that customers commonly ship when sending goods to USA from the UK are:

  • Suitcases of extra clothing, accessories and shoes
  • Toiletries, make-up and jewellery
  • Work tools, computers, televisions
  • Golf clubs, surfboards, gym equipment and bicycles
  • Artwork, mirrors, lighting and pictures
  • Crockery, cutlery, kitchenware and silverware

USA has its own defined list of restricted and prohibited items that we cannot ship, or that require pre-approval. However, if USA allows the import, we ship it!

Sea freight is one of the most favoured transport methods due to its cost-effectiveness and ease for our clients. Shipping to USA via sea freight takes between 13 – 45 days, depending on the final destination, therefore we advise that you allow ample time for your delivery. If you do not have enough goods to fill one container, shared container load is the ideal shipping option for you. All of your goods and furnishings will be packed and loaded onto a shared shipping container to USA and you will only pay for the space this baggage occupies.

Alternatively, if you need your belongings in USA in a hurry, airfreight is the quickest transit method to move your possessions. Shipping via air freight is highly convenient, but this does come with a higher price tag. Your quote for USA Shipping is calculated based on the weight of your consignment, meaning it is not so economical for larger loads such as an entire home.
