Air freight, Urgent or Smaller Loads: If you need furniture moved by air, costs range from $12,000 to 20,000+, depending on total weight and service speed.

Sea & Air Freight Shipping from Sri Lanka Sea freight from Sri Lanka departs from Colombo, which calls at various UK ports including Felixstowe and Thamesport. Sea freight from Sri Lanka takes around 25 days.

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.
