How long does it take to ship from Denmark to the USA?

When it comes to shipping from Denmark to US time as well as to major US cities, you need to know what to be able to tell your customers on the receiving side or your friends and family there who are expecting the parcel or shipment from you.

On average, however, you are looking at a time frame in the region of two to three days, although this will greatly vary depending on our service partners including UPS and DHL. Below is a brief overview of what time frames you can expect.

  • Ocean freight from Denmark to the US: we all know that ocean freight takes longer than air freight due to the nature of the mode of transportation.

  • Air freight from Denmark to the US: when it comes to shipping from Denmark to US time in terms of air freight, you have several options to choose from. Firstly, there is UPS Expedited (air freight, economy), which will take approximately three days or longer. With UPS Saver (also air freight), you are looking at a two-day delivery period. Next up is UPS Express (also air freight), which generally takes around two days for the delivery to arrive as well.
