Types of shipping from Australia to USA

The three most common types of shipping available are detailed below, this information isn't definitive though so if your shipping needs differ, contact the shipping broker of preference to request a bespoke service.

Air Freight to the USA

Whether your shipment is a small package or a pallet load, Air Freight is undoubtedly the fastest method to get your shipment to the USA.

Next Flight to the USA

If your item is high priority and needs time critical delivery, then Next Flight shipping is the best option. The shipping broker will arrange for your item to be collected by the first available driver and taken straight to the airport, ready to leave on the next available flight. On its arrival, your item will be greeted and taken straight to the delivery point. This is the fastest, most secure service available.

Sea Freight to the USA

Do you regularly move large items to the USA or are you moving to the USA? If your shipment requirements are of this size then sea freight is the most effective way of shipping such large items. The volume of your items will depend on the space needed in a shipping container, your size requirements will be calculated by volumetric weight. Try the form on our website to see how much it would cost to ship your goods to the USA.

Shipping insurance to cover your items

It is always recommended that all items are insured. This additional service is usually optional. If you would like to insure your items, you will be given the option to select the level of cover (usually) at the purchasing stage of your booking process.
