A comprehensive guide to shipping costs to America from the UK includes getting a good quote if you’re moving to the United States.
Considering a move to the USA? If you’re wondering about shipping costs or seeking the most affordable options, this guide covers you. Whether you’re a Brit chasing the American dream or a US expat heading back home, we understand that sending
your belongings is an integral part of your journey.
This guide estimates the cost of shipping everything from parcels, packages, large boxes, personal effects, household goods and furniture, full or partial containers and even vehicles to the USA. It also sheds light on other charges such as customs fees
and duties that might not be included in your initial quote. For those sending smaller quantities, we’ll delve into shipping boxes and excess baggage costs. For a broader overview, refer to our dedicated shipping to USA guide.
Given the vastness of the USA, shipping costs can significantly vary. Thus, we recommend contacting our team for a more precise quote suited to your needs.
The additional charges and exclusions outlined below are industry standard and typical to whichever shipping company you use, not just PSS International. It is essential that you discuss these with your Account Manager so you have a clear idea of what
applies to your shipment.
