Shipping Cost from Boston, Massachusetts to Berlin

The average cost of an international move — including expenses like shipping and moving services — can range from about $3,000 to $18,000 or more. However, smaller moves over shorter distances may cost less, while larger, longer-distance moves may cost more.

Shipping from the US to Germany costs anywhere from under $20 for small, slow packages (like USPS First Class) to $50-$100+ for faster courier services (FedEx, UPS, DHL), depending heavily on weight, dimensions, speed (days vs. weeks), and carrier, with budget options like MyUS or Easyship showing rates like $10-$20 for light items (1-4 lbs, 1-2 weeks) and premium services starting around $40-$70+ for quick delivery.

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.
