Furniture Shipping Cost from Jakarta to Santiago

Shipping from Indonesia to the US varies greatly by method: Air freight takes about 1-2 weeks (8-17 days), while Sea freight (container shipping) is much slower, typically 4-6 weeks (27-40+ days) for port-to-port, and even longer for door-to-door delivery, with overall times up to 55-60 days due to customs and logistics. Express options can be as fast as 1-4 days, but cost significantly more.

Shipping furniture overseas involves choosing between slow, cheap sea freight or fast, expensive air freight, requiring professional packing (or careful DIY with blankets, bubble wrap, and strong boxes), proper customs documentation, and insurance, with costs depending heavily on size, destination, and service level. Key steps include getting quotes from international movers, disassembling furniture, protecting items, and managing customs paperwork for a smooth move.

Freight is one of the most common ways to ship large furniture. With LTL, or less-than-truckload, your items share space with other shipments. You only pay for the portion of the truck you use, which makes it a good fit if you're moving one or two big pieces.
