But while selling to the US is a no-brainer, shipping there isn’t quite so straightforward. Think: long delivery times, unexpected fees and confusing customs and logistics. If you’ve ever thought, “Well, that’s just how international shipping works,” — good news: it doesn’t have to be. ![Picture of Simon Perkins](https://fls-a23386ec-a833-4d54-8bab-79a51619651d.laravel.cloud/129/conversions/TBA41DHHU-UB8G6TW2C-a6e01c7f48ad-512-main.jpg) Simon Perkins Commercial Director at SAMOS - [Significantly faster transit times](#content-significantly-faster-transit-times) - [No volumetric charges (pay by weight only)](#content-no-volumetric-charges-pay-by-weight-only) - [Seriously low prices](#content-seriously-low-prices) - [All the support you expect from SAMOS](#content-all-the-support-you-expect-from-samos) - [FAQ’s](#content-faqs) 16th October 2025 Updated 9 months ago Share this article - [Share on Facebook]() - [Share on WhatsApp]() - [Share on LinkedIn]() - Copy Link **Big News: Our New US Delivery Service Is Faster and Cheaper (Yes, Really)** [**Start shipping hassle-free into the US with SAMOS**](https://samos-e.com/start-shipping) **In this article:** • Affordable international shipping to the USA • Fast delivery options for e-commerce businesses • Reduce US shipping costs now to offset US tariff and duty costs • Making sure that your US customers are charged nothing on delivery **Introducing our faster, cheaper delivery service** We’ve just launched a new express-like delivery service to the States, and it's packed with game-changing benefits for e-commerce businesses like yours. We’ve teamed up with a major airline to bring you this new service that delivers the speed of a premium courier at a fraction of the cost. [\#](#content-significantly-faster-transit-times "Permalink")Significantly faster transit times ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traditionally, shipments to the US go through one of two drop-off points — usually Los Angeles or Newark. That works, but it also means longer delivery times (think 7–10 days, sometimes more). Our new service has up to six entry points spread across the US. That means your parcels land closer to your customers and arrive in just 3–4 days. That’s express speed without the express price tag. [\#](#content-no-volumetric-charges-pay-by-weight-only "Permalink")No volumetric charges (pay by weight only) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This one’s huge. The airline is not charging by volumetric (dimensional) weight — just the actual, dead weight of your parcel. Yes, you did read that correctly. Most air freight services calculate cost using (height x length x width)/5000, which can really sting if you're shipping light-but-bulky items. With our new service, you pay for what your parcel actually weighs. That’s it. No padding the price. [\#](#content-seriously-low-prices "Permalink")Seriously low prices ------------------------------------------------------------------- With the introduction of US tariff and duties e-com businesses are now more than ever looking to offset these extra costs for their customers. Thanks to smarter routing, airline partnerships, and those non-volumetric rates, we’re offering economy pricing on what’s essentially an express service. To give you an idea, a 0.5 kg parcel to anywhere in the US will cost you around £13. That’s not a typo — it’s significantly cheaper than most of the big players. The SAMOS US delivery service for e-commerce is a DDP service only - so your US customers pay nothing on delivery - guaranteed.
