Guam is the farthest place a US domestic label can go — and on our run, the price was identical from both coasts: $21.28 with USPS Ground Advantage from Newark and from Los Angeles alike. Distance stops mattering once everything flies.
Pacific lane, quoted live on 2026-07-27. The windows here are long; the date on the data matters even more than usual.
Guam is the longest lane SMKlog quotes, so we benchmarked it properly: one 12 × 10 × 6 in box at 5 lb, household goods inside, priced through the calculator from Newark and Los Angeles. The tables below are the carriers' verbatim replies. The printed amount, SMKlog's charge included, is the full charge at checkout.

Both coasts produced the same floor on 2026-07-27: USPS Ground Advantage at $21.28, east or west. Guam's ZIPs run 96910 through 96932 and take ordinary domestic postage, but transit is the longest in the US system, so the quoted dates deserve to be believed over habit. And because rates shift under any saved table, run the live quote for your ZIP pair when it's actually time to ship.
Ground Advantage quoted 14-15 business days on both runs; Priority Mail trimmed that to 9-11 for about ten dollars more. On a lane measured in weeks, the calendar is usually the real constraint, and the middle tier often hits the deadline the cheap one misses.
A Guam-bound box crosses an ocean and a string of sort facilities. For contents of real value, adding SMKlog's shipping protection at purchase is reasonable caution; for replaceable items, the standard label is usually enough.
The process is identical to a stateside label: describe the item, let SMKlog estimate the packed box or enter measurements, compare the returned services, pay and print. No account, and tracking is included.
More than the mainland, less than people fear: our 12 × 10 × 6 in, 5 lb box quoted $21.28 by USPS Ground Advantage from both Newark and Los Angeles on 2026-07-27. That total, SMKlog's charge included, is exactly what checkout takes. Heavier or faster raises it quickly, so quote your real parcel.
Weeks, on the economy tiers: 14-15 business days quoted for Ground Advantage on 2026-07-27, with FedEx Ground Economy at 14-16 depending on coast. USPS Priority Mail quoted 9-11 and Priority Mail Express 9-11 as well. Check the row you'd actually buy.
USPS, decisively, on our runs: Ground Advantage at $21.28 versus $51.29 for the FedEx ground option. When one carrier is less than half the price on a lane it tends to stay the value pick for a while, but rates do move, so confirm live.
No. Guam labels buy exactly like mainland ones here: guest quote, guest payment, printable label with tracking attached.
