Shipping Cost from Chisinau to Port Moresby

Shipping furniture overseas costs anywhere from $2,000 to over $10,000, depending heavily on volume (more stuff = more cost), destination (Asia/Europe vs. Australia), shipping method (shared container vs. full container/air freight), and service level (self-pack vs. full-service movers). Expect to pay roughly $2,500-$4,500 for a one-bedroom equivalent to Europe/Asia, while large moves can hit $8,000-$13,000+, with air freight being the priciest but fastest option.

The cheapest way to ship a piece of furniture is typically to use parcel services for smaller items and consider a freight shipping service like LTL for oversized items. If you're making a one-time shipment in your local market, consider renting a moving van and transporting the furniture yourself.

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.
