The delivery time for your parcel depends on the logistics provider and the chosen shipping method. Parcels from the United States to France are delivered in two ways. The first is sea freight. This is a more economical but longer option, with a waiting time of 4-7 weeks.
The second is air freight. It’s more expensive, but it’s completed in 7-14 business days.
Parcel delivery from the United States to Europe follows a strict process. Shipments arriving at our warehouse in the United States undergo preparation:

To send a parcel to France from the USA, the customer only needs to provide the recipient’s exact address, select the shipping method, and deliver the shipment to our warehouse (by courier or postal operator). We handle all subsequent processing and transportation arrangements.
Delivering parcels from the USA is a lengthy process, during which items are repeatedly moved, both manually and mechanically. To prevent damage, it is essential to pack your parcel properly:
- Choose new corrugated cardboard boxes;
- Use padding to secure the contents;
- Wrap fragile items in soft material and separate them.
Also, pay attention to the dimensions. The more tightly packed the items, the lower the volumetric weight of the parcel and the lower the shipping cost.
Shipping costs to France from the USA depend on various factors. They include the dimensions of the shipment, the presence of insurance, and the chosen shipping method.
The cheapest option is shipping by sea. Another advantage of this method is the ability to ship oversized cargo or large batches of parcels. However, there is a disadvantage: the shipping time (up to 8 weeks).
A faster option is air freight, which takes from several days to 2 weeks. The price for this shipping method is higher and is calculated individually based on the dimensions and type of cargo.

- the ability to combine goods from several online stores into a single shipment;
