Shipping Cost from Austin, Texas to Seoul

Shipping to South Korea from the US can range from ~$20 for light items (1-2 lbs) via economy services (like USPS First Class or Asendia) to over $100 for heavier packages or fast express delivery (FedEx/UPS), with prices heavily depending on weight, dimensions, speed (days vs. weeks), and carrier; expect around $30-$60 for 1-5 lb packages and over $100-$200 for 10+ kg (22+ lbs) via air freight, while sea freight offers cheaper but much slower options for large items.

Shipping furniture overseas costs anywhere from a few hundred dollars for small items to $2,000 - $10,000+ for a household, depending heavily on volume, destination (Asia/Europe often $2.5k-$4k for a 1-bed), method (sea freight cheaper than air), and service level (shared vs. full container). Factors like weight, distance, carrier, packing, and origin/destination services (pickup/delivery) significantly influence the final price.

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.
