Furniture Shipping Cost from Hanoi to Louisville/Jefferson County, Kentucky

Shipping from Vietnam to the USA varies widely in price, from ~$20 for small postal packages to $1,500+ for full containers, depending on speed and volume: Express couriers (DHL/UPS/FedEx) cost ~$30-$50/kg, Air freight is ~$6-$12/kg for bulk, while Sea freight (FCL/LCL) runs ~$1,500-$3,000/container or $250-$350/CBM but takes weeks. For small parcels, USPS offers cheaper options like Priority Mail International.

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.

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.
