Furniture Shipping Cost from Cartagena to Port Moresby

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.

To ship a single piece of furniture across long distances, choose a parcel carrier like UPS or USPS for small items. For larger pieces, such as beds or sofas, consider a freight service offering LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping—it's cost-effective, and your furniture will be transported with other loads.

Shipping a 40ft container overseas typically costs anywhere from $2,000 to over $10,000, with major fluctuations based on the route (e.g., Asia to US might be $3k-$6k, while US to Australia could be $8k-$20k+), current market demand, time of year, and specific ports, though rates can drop significantly during off-peak times or surge during peak seasons like holidays, with 2025 estimates showing wide ranges like $3,000–$5,000 from Shanghai to Rotterdam.
