Shipping Cost from Frankfurt to Cairo

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 furniture costs vary widely, from $50-$200 for small items via parcel, to $300-$600+ for large items across the country, with specialty "white glove" services costing more, all depending on size, weight, distance, and service level. Local moves are cheaper ($75-$250), while coast-to-coast or international shipments for large pieces can hit $1,500 or more, often using LTL freight or specialized movers.

The cheapest way to ship furniture often involves Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight for larger items or sharing space, using bus freight for distance savings if it fits rules, or trying ride-share apps (Dolly, GoShare) for local moves ; for very tight budgets, DIY with a rental truck/U-Haul, or even selling & repurchasing might beat shipping costs. Proper packaging with cardboard, moving blankets, and corner protectors is crucial to avoid damage, which drastically increases costs.
