Furniture Shipping Cost from Guayaquil to St. Paul, Minnesota

The average cost of an international move — including expenses like shipping and moving services — can range from about $3,000 to $18,000 or more. However, smaller moves over shorter distances may cost less, while larger, longer-distance moves may cost more.

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.
