Shipping Options When Moving to Sweden from the US
To correctly estimate the price, we must know which shipping option you will be going with. This is a highly personal decision based on timeline and budget. We typically offer:
Shared Container
Shared container: You share the container with other customers’ goods. You may not have enough cargo to fill a container, so in this case, you only pay for the volume you’re shipping. Why pay for space you don’t need? The drawback is you have to wait for the container to be filled by other customers, which can extend transit time.
Sole Container
Sole container: You have the container all to yourself. Because you don’t have to wait for others to fill up the container, you get a flat rate and quicker transport. The drawback is that it costs more than shared containers.
Air Freight
Air freight: Only for smaller shipments, the benefit of this option is your shipment will get to Sweden in a matter of hours rather than days or weeks. The drawback is that this option costs the most, by a long shot.
How Long Does it Take to Ship Goods to Sweden?
Transit times to Sweden vary depending on the location of the port from which your belongings are being shipped. When shipping from East Coast ports such as New York, Houston, and Savannah, the average transit time is about 21 days. However, when sailing from West Coast ports such as California, transit times can be as much as 35 days.
While we do our best to meet estimates, the above transit times should serve as a guide and not be taken as an exact guarantee of times. Always call for a quote first for better pricing accuracy. Please be patient knowing the times can change based on many factors such as the weather.
What You Need When Moving to Sweden From the USA
When moving to Sweden from the USA, household goods are shipped duty-free as long as they have been in your possession for at least a year. Should you be required to pay duty and taxes, the payments will be your sole responsibility and not the responsibility of Ship DEI or any of its agents. The following documents are required when shipping your belongings to Sweden:
✓ A valid passport
✓ A detailed inventory of the goods in each carton. You will need three copies for each box.
We are very transparent in our process and will always reiterate what you need for shipping household goods to Sweden. Ask us anything!
How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Car to Sweden?
We get it: cost is an important factor in determining household goods shipments to Sweden. After all, you have a budget and need to stick to it. To give you the best, most accurate quote, you will have to call us or click on the get quote button. But as an overview, one major factor that we consider when it comes to price is the volume of your goods. If you have enough to fill up a container, you won’t have the option to share costs with other people. This will cost you more.
Other factors that come into play include the distance from your home to the departure port, whether or not we will be doing the packing, the distance between the departure and destination port, and the shipping option that you choose. As you know from above, air freight is the most expensive. If you choose door-to-door delivery, you will pay a bit more. Rest assured, we offer some of the most affordable rates that can be found anywhere on the Internet today.
