Shipping Cost from Cairo to Union City, New Jersey

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 a single piece of furniture across long distances, choose a parcel carrier like UPS or USPS for small items. For larger pieces, such as beds or sofas, consider a freight service offering LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping—it's cost-effective, and your furniture will be transported with other loads.

Shipping from the USA to Egypt varies widely, from around $10-$30 for small, light parcels (1-2 lbs) via economy services like USPS/MyUS, to $40-$70 for slightly heavier items (3-4 lbs), and potentially $100+ for 20lb packages, depending heavily on speed (days vs. weeks) and carrier (USPS, UPS, DHL). Expect to pay more for faster express shipping (e.g., UPS Saver) and budget options (like USPS First Class) for slower delivery, plus potential duties/VAT in Egypt.
