Shipping Cost from China to Shanghai

Yes, buying furniture from China can be worth it for its vast selection, competitive prices, and improving quality, but it requires careful vetting of suppliers and understanding potential complexities like shipping and tariffs, as quality varies from budget to luxury, so it's crucial to research manufacturers, check credentials, and potentially use a sourcing agent for reliability.

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.
