Question 5

Is it worth it to ship furniture overseas?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

How to ship household items internationally?

Accepted Answer

Shipping household goods overseas involves choosing between slow, cheap sea freight (LCL/FCL) or fast, pricey air freight, often with help from an international mover who handles packing, customs, and logistics, requiring detailed inventories and potentially proof of ownership for duty-free entry. Sea freight suits full moves (Full Container Load - FCL) or smaller loads (Less than Container Load - LCL), while air freight is for essentials. Key steps include choosing a mover, packing securely, gathering documents (proof of residency/ownership), and managing customs.
