Furniture Shipping Cost from Detroit, Michigan to Tegucigalpa

Local shipping costs between $300 and $800 per piece, while international rates range from $1,000 to $4,500 per item. Professional moving companies charge $25 to $50 per person per hour. If you want someone to pack your belongings before moving them, expect to pay an additional $150 to $750 for packing services.

Shipping a 40ft container costs anywhere from a few hundred dollars for short local hauls to over $10,000 for long international routes, with major factors being distance (Asia to US vs. US to Europe), market demand (fluctuating rates), and container type (standard vs. reefer), averaging around $2,500 - $10,000+ for major trade lanes but varying significantly by origin, destination, and carrier.

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.
