How Long Does Shipping Take From Indonesia To The United States?

Shipping times from Indonesia to the United States vary significantly based on the mode of transport (sea freight or air freight) and several other factors.

To the US West Coast (e.g., Los Angeles, Long Beach): Around 25 to 35 days.

FAQs About Shipping From Singapore To USA

How Much Is Shipping From Indonesia To The United States

The cost of shipping from Indonesia to the United States depends on several factors:

Mode of Transport: Air freight is generally more expensive than sea freight.

Time of Year/Seasonality: Shipping rates can fluctuate, especially during peak seasons (mid-August to mid-October).
Additional Services: Things like door-to-door delivery, customs clearance, and insurance will add to the overall cost.

To get an accurate price, it’s best to request quotes from freight forwarders. They can provide estimates based on your specific shipment details.
