Furniture Shipping Cost from Brussels to Cartagena

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.

Shipping from Belgium to the US typically takes 3 days to over a month, depending heavily on the method: Air Express is 1-5 days (fastest), standard Air Freight is 2-9 days, while slower Ocean Freight can range from 2-4 weeks or more, with express services being pricier but quicker, and economy options offering lower costs with longer waits, plus customs delays can add time.
