Shipping Cost from Boston, Massachusetts to Helsinki

Shipping costs from the US to Finland vary widely, from as low as $10-$20 for small, light items (1lb) with economy services like USPS First Class or budget couriers, up to $40-$100+ for heavier packages (2-10lbs), depending on speed (days vs. weeks) and carrier (USPS, FedEx, DHL). For 1-4 lb packages, expect roughly $19-$77, while larger shipments (5-10lbs) might cost $78-$100+, with express options costing more for faster delivery.

Ocean freight shipping Ocean shipping is a great option for bulkier shipments since it offers much more space than air for a lower price. Depending on how large your shipments are, and how frequently you ship, you can choose either LCL (less than a container load) or FCL (full container load).

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.
