⏱️ Transit Time Comparison: What Should You Choose?
Shipping to Bulgaria is not one-size-fits-all.
Here’s how your options compare:
✈️ Express Cargo (Fastest Option)
- Rate: Starts from $3.4 per lb
- Transit Time: 5 to 8 business days
Best suited for:
✔️ Urgent shipments
✔️ Students relocating
✔️ Work assignments
✔️ Essential personal belongings
This is the ideal solution when time matters more than cost.
🚢 Sea Cargo – LCL (Shared Container)
- Minimum Volume: 80 CFT
- Cost: Starts from $2300
- Transit Time: Approx. 60 days
Perfect for:
✔️ Partial household goods
✔️ Furniture
✔️ Clothing & books
✔️ Long-term relocation planning
LCL is the most economical way to ship larger volumes without paying for a full container.
🚛 Full Container (20’ FCL)
- Cost: Starts from $3200
- Transit Time: 48 to 50 days
Recommended for:
✔️ Family relocations

✔️ Large shipments
This option provides maximum security since your goods are not shared with other shipments.

Choose Sea Cargo (LCL) if:
