Furniture Shipping Cost from Lagos to Stockholm

Shipping furniture overseas costs anywhere from $2,000 to over $10,000, depending heavily on volume (more stuff = more cost), destination (Asia/Europe vs. Australia), shipping method (shared container vs. full container/air freight), and service level (self-pack vs. full-service movers). Expect to pay roughly $2,500-$4,500 for a one-bedroom equivalent to Europe/Asia, while large moves can hit $8,000-$13,000+, with air freight being the priciest but fastest option.

DHL is the best shipping company, hands down. UPS is the worst, don't even think about it. I had bad experiences with FedEX as well (as someone else pointed out they don't have enough pick up points and if they don't find you at home you're screwed). Schenker is also crap.

Moving to Sweden from the US costs roughly $2,750 to $17,000+, depending heavily on the volume of belongings, with a 1-bedroom apartment costing around $2,750-$8,000 and larger homes $8,000-$17,000+ via sea freight, plus extra for flights ($400-$1,200 pp), initial living costs (rent, utilities), and potential customs/visa fees, with big city living often comparable or cheaper than major US cities for rent.
