Furniture Shipping Cost from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Bogota

Local shipping costs between $300 and $800 per piece, while international rates range from $1,000 to $4,500 per item. Professional moving companies charge $25 to $50 per person per hour. If you want someone to pack your belongings before moving them, expect to pay an additional $150 to $750 for packing services.

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 best way to ship furniture across the country depends on budget, speed, and item value, with LTL Freight (Less Than Truckload) being the most common economical choice for large items, while parcel carriers (UPS/FedEx) work for smaller pieces, and specialized White Glove services or moving containers (PODS) offer more protection/convenience for valuable or multiple items, often requiring custom packing or crating for safety.
