I want to deliver 20 KG of coins from USA and from UK not by the air, only by the sea. How much money it can cost me? I wish to have the table KG / PRICE, If any body knows. Thank you.
I don't think a shipping company would even talk to you for only 20 kg. In addition, there can't be any pennies or nickels in there. For 20 kg, the USPS is your best bet.
Not necessarily. To ship 20kg by UPS air freight from California to Taiwan, with $1,000 insurance, would cost less than using uninsured USPS Priority Mail. Shipping those same coins from the UK to California via the Royal Mail, the "small packet" rate would allow 12 packages weighing no more than 2kg each to be shipped for a fraction of the cost of a single 20kg item. Bottom line, the OP's question is comparable to asking "How much is a coin worth?", with no information on what coin, or in what condition. Freight charges vary by places of origin and destination weight size, and nature of contents. UPS even has different charges depending on whether the delivery is to a residence address or a business address! BTW ocean freight for small shipments is a thing of the past: The USPS doesn't offer any ocean-borne mail service) According to its website the British Royal Mail limits all ocean mail except printed matter to 2kg, with a 5kg limit on printed matter Common carrier shippers like UPS, DHL, FEDEX, etc. don't handle ocean freight in their LTL (less than truckload) divisions A box of 20kg of coins would require an unbelievable amount of plastic foam peanuts to be shipped in even a 20' container, the smallest size carried by a typical freighter.
