Furniture Shipping Cost from Athens to Shanghai

Shipping costs from China to Greece vary by method: Air Freight: $5 - $8 per kg, taking 3 - 8 days. Express Shipping: $6 - $10 per kg, with delivery in 3 - 5 days. Sea Freight (20ft container): $2,500 - $3,000, with a transit time of 30 - 40 days.

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 involves choosing sea freight (cheapest) or air freight (fastest), hiring an international mover for packing/logistics, handling customs paperwork, and securing insurance, with costs varying greatly by volume, distance, and speed, typically using 20ft or 40ft containers for full moves.
