Shipping Cost from Abidjan to Tampa, Florida

Shipping furniture overseas is often not worth it unless pieces are high-quality, expensive, or deeply sentimental, as costs (thousands of dollars) usually outweigh the benefit, especially when good, affordable local options exist and appliances/electronics rarely work due to power/signal issues, making selling and buying new often the better, fresher start. Weigh the high cost of shipping (potentially $3,000-$10,000+) against replacement costs and the emotional value, factoring in the destination's climate and local furniture availability.

To ship one piece of furniture across the country, you'll typically use LTL Freight (Less-Than-Truckload) for large items or parcel services (UPS/FedEx) for smaller ones, but the key is proper packing (crating/blanket wrapping), measuring, weighing, and comparing quotes from specialists like uShip or local UPS Stores for cost-effective, secure transport, potentially with «!nav»white glove service«» for fragile pieces.

Cost of Shipping Furniture Across Country On average, a single large item, like a couch or dresser, costs between $300 and $1,500 to ship cross-country. A queen mattress is usually $300–$600, while a large sectional sofa can run closer to $800–$1,500. The wide range makes sense once you see what goes into the cost.
