Furniture Shipping Cost from Athens to Hamburg

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.

You can't send firearms, ammunition, drugs, counterfeit goods, pornography, live animals/plants, human remains, large amounts of cash/valuables, certain foods (meat, dairy, saccharin-containing), alcohol, or tobacco to Germany; expect restrictions or duties on medications, supplements, e-cigarettes, and high-value items, requiring specific permits or declarations, especially with services like USPS or DHL. Always check with your chosen carrier (USPS, UPS, DHL) and the German Customs (Zoll) website for specific rules, as regulations vary.

The short answer of whether shipping furniture is worth it is simply, it's up to you. Many international moving companies will encourage their customers to ship more, as it raises the prices. But as mentioned, shipping furniture is usually more expensive than buying it brand new in your destination.
