Among the most reputable transatlantic carriers are UPS, DHL Express, TNT, and FedEx. Prices and delivery times can vary significantly depending on the service type, parcel characteristics, and the selected provider. In general, small and lightweight parcels are faster and less expensive to ship than large or heavy ones.
With JUMiNGO, you can book both standard and express deliveries at competitive prices. For parcel shipping to the USA, express services are often even more cost-effective than economy ones. Express shipments can arrive in just one to three business days.
Additionally, you can choose pickup at your desired location, saving you the trip to a drop-off point. For example, UPS offers home pickup for a small additional fee.
After selecting and booking your preferred shipping rate, the final step is to prepare your parcel for shipment to the USA. Proper preparation is crucial to avoid delays or customs issues. Here are three essential questions to consider:
1) How to Pack a Parcel for the USA?
Proper packaging is essential for successful delivery to the USA. Poor packaging can lead to delays and complications with service providers or customs authorities.
For standard shipments, use sturdy rectangular boxes. Make sure your parcel is well-padded, as it will be handled multiple times during transport. Depending on your item, you may use foam inserts, bubble wrap, or corrugated cardboard for optimal protection.
2) What Are the Size and Weight Limits for Shipments to the USA?
Carriers use a method called girth measurement to determine the maximum parcel size. It is calculated as: (Height + Width) × 2 + Length, in centimeters.
As a general rule, the maximum size is 300 cm, and the maximum weight is 31.5 kg.
For express shipments to the USA, providers such as UPS, TNT, and DHL Express allow a girth of up to 420 cm. In these cases, your parcel must not exceed 70 kg or a length of 270 cm.
For pallet shipments to the USA, special rates are available via our shipping calculator.
3) How to Correctly Enter Addresses for US Deliveries?
It is crucial to include the correct full address, especially by placing the state abbreviation after the city. For example, a parcel shipped to Chicago, Illinois, should be addressed as:
Ms Samantha Carter
21 Lane Street
Chicago, IL 60007
U.S.A.
Before shipping a parcel to the United States, you must check that your goods are not on the list of prohibited or restricted items.
