Furniture Shipping Cost from El Paso, Texas to Taipei

Ocean freight shipping Ocean shipping is a great option for bulkier shipments since it offers much more space than air for a lower price. Depending on how large your shipments are, and how frequently you ship, you can choose either LCL (less than a container load) or FCL (full container load).

US to Taiwan shipping costs vary widely, from under $20 for small, light items (like envelopes/1lb packages with budget carriers) to $50-$90+ for heavier or faster services (5-10lb packages, express couriers), depending on carrier (USPS, FedEx, DHL, UPS), speed (days vs. weeks), weight, and dimensions, with flat-rate options also available from USPS. Expect basic tracking for cheaper services, detailed tracking for premium ones, and potential duties/taxes.

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.
