Furniture Shipping Cost from Chicago, Illinois to Auckland

Shipping furniture overseas is often not worth it unless pieces are high-quality, expensive, or deeply sentimental, as costs (thousands of dollars) usually outweigh the benefit, especially when good, affordable local options exist and appliances/electronics rarely work due to power/signal issues, making selling and buying new often the better, fresher start. Weigh the high cost of shipping (potentially $3,000-$10,000+) against replacement costs and the emotional value, factoring in the destination's climate and local furniture availability.

Your wood products can be imported into New Zealand when the requirements of the IHS for your wood product are met. You'll also need to check with other agencies, like the New Zealand Customs Service, whether there is anything else you need to do to import your wood products.
