How Much Does Shipping a Container Cost?

Shipping costs from the UK to the USA depend mainly on the container size and whether you choose a full or shared shipment. Below are typical price ranges to give you a clear benchmark:

20ft Container (FCL): £3,800 – £5,800

  • Ideal for smaller household moves
  • Fits around 25–30 m³ of belongings

40ft Container (FCL): £5,900 – £8,500

  • Best for full home relocations
  • Holds roughly 55–60 m³ of goods

Shared Container (LCL): £120 – £250 per m³

  • Suitable for smaller shipments (typically 1–15 m³)
  • May involve longer transit times due to consolidation and deconsolidation

These estimates provide a general guideline based on typical UK to USA routes. Your final cost may vary depending on your destination, shipment size, and the level of service you choose.
