Shipping Cost from Frankfurt to Cotonou

The cheapest way to ship furniture usually involves using Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight, sharing truck space for non-full truckloads, or exploring bus freight (like Greyhound) for cost savings if it fits rules, but the absolute cheapest often means DIY methods like renting a truck or using ride-share movers (Dolly, GoShare) for local moves, or leveraging marketplaces like Shiply/uShip for competitive LTL quotes. Key cost savers include disassembling furniture, packing it yourself, and choosing slower delivery times.

Shipping furniture overseas costs anywhere from a few hundred dollars for small items to $2,000 - $10,000+ for a household, depending heavily on volume (size/weight), distance, and method (shared container vs. full container vs. air freight). Sea freight (shared or full container) is cheapest for large moves, while air freight is best for urgency/small items but very expensive, with costs influenced by packing, customs, and delivery.

Cost of Shipping Furniture Across Country On average, a single large item, like a couch or dresser, costs between $300 and $1,500 to ship cross-country. A queen mattress is usually $300–$600, while a large sectional sofa can run closer to $800–$1,500. The wide range makes sense once you see what goes into the cost.
