Furniture Shipping Cost from Istanbul to Rotterdam

Shipping furniture overseas costs anywhere from a few hundred dollars for small items to $2,000 - $10,000+ for a household, depending heavily on volume, destination (Asia/Europe often $2.5k-$4k for a 1-bed), method (sea freight cheaper than air), and service level (shared vs. full container). Factors like weight, distance, carrier, packing, and origin/destination services (pickup/delivery) significantly influence the final price.

Shipping to the Netherlands costs vary widely, from ~$10-$20 for light items via budget options (8-14 days) to $40-$90+ for heavier/faster shipments, depending on courier (USPS, UPS, DHL, FedEx), speed (Economy vs. Express), size, weight, and insurance. Expect $20-$50 for small packages, $50-$150 for medium, and $150+ for large, with express services costing more for faster delivery. Don't forget potential import VAT (21%) and duties on arrival.

The cheapest way to ship from Turkey to the USA is usually sea freight (ocean freight) for large/heavy cargo (LCL/FCL), taking weeks but costing much less than air freight, while for smaller packages, using a parcel forwarding service like Take & Ship or Yollando to consolidate items and get discounted rates with couriers like DHL/FedEx is often cheapest and fastest (days). For very small items, compare USPS Flat Rate (if it fits) versus FedEx/UPS Ground, which can be cheaper for heavier items.
