Furniture Shipping Cost from Helsinki to Djibouti

Finland -> USA, a regular postal service envelope (less than 30mm thick, 1.99kg) is 18.50 EUR (10-15 days). From Finland to USofA couriers are are starting around 25 EUR for 0.99 kg package (UPS, 6-9 days, delivery from a Finland UPS service point to recipient home).

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.
