Furniture Shipping Cost from Cancun to Bratislava

What is the average cost of an international move? 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.

Shipping furniture can range from $50 for small items via parcel to over $1,000 for large items or long distances, with typical costs for a single piece falling between $200 and $800, depending heavily on size, weight, distance (local vs. cross-country), and service (standard freight vs. white glove). A couch might cost $300-$500, while a bedroom set can be $800-$3,000, with factors like packing, speed, and if you use LTL freight or consolidate shipments significantly impacting the final price.

The cheapest international shipping is usually USPS First-Class Package International Service for lightweight items (under 4 lbs) or letters, but for heavier parcels, GlobalPost Economy, discounted rates via aggregators ( Parcel Monkey, ShipStation, SelfShipLabel ), or even regional carriers often beat retail rates from major carriers like UPS/FedEx, with services like USPS Priority Mail International offering a balance of speed and cost for heavier items. The best option depends on weight, destination, speed needed, and whether you use discounted broker services.
